Here is the solution to the given version of the puzzle (9 balls, one is heavier, need to identify oddball), where we label the balls A, B, …, I:
1. Weigh ABC versus DEF.
Scenario a: If these (1) balance, then we know the oddball is one of G, H, I.
2. Weigh G versus H.
Scenario a.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is I.
Scenario a.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.
Scenario b: If these (1) do not balance, then the oddball is on the heavier side. For simplicity, assume the ABC side is heavier, so the oddball is one of A, B, C.
2. Weigh A versus B.
Scenario b.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is C.
Scenario b.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.
answer is maximum of 2.
1×2×…100=100!
Number of zeros in product of n numbers =[5n]+[52n]+[53n]+…
Number of zeros in product of 100 numbers =[5100]+[52100]+[53100]
where [.] is greatest integer function
=[20]+[4]+[0.8]=20+4=24
Assume Q can do the work alone in Q days:
work of a day by both P and Q =>
(1/15) + (1/Q ) = 1/6
solving this Q = 10.
Answer: 8:10, 7:10
Explanation:
The bus b1, which started at P, reached S at 10:40, passing through the intermediary cities Q and R.
The time taken to travel from P to S
= 3 * 40 + 2 * 15 = 150minute
(journey)+(stoppage) = 2 hrs 30 minutes.
Hence, b1 started at 10:40 – 2:30 = 8:10 at P.
b2 reached Q, starting at U, through the city T, S and R.
The time taken by it to reach S = 4 * 40 + 3 * 15 = 205 minutes = 3 hr 25 minutes.
Hence, b2 started at, 10:35 – 3:25 = 7:10, at U.

Let d = 7r. And use distance is = rate × time
7r= ( r+12) 5
7r= 5r + 60
Subtract 5r from both sides
2r = 60
Divide out 2
Rate = 30 km/h
Original question 30 km/h × 7 = 210
30 +12 = 42× 5 = 210
