441=21^2

The local value of 7 in the number is at 10000 so 7×10000 and face of 7 is 7
So 70000 -7 so the answer is C 69993

1, 2, 4, 13, 31, 112,?
This series is written in base 5 numbers for decimal nos of 1,2,4,8,16,32,64

so next number is 224 .
224 in base 5 = 64 in base 10.

so 224 is next number.

The last person covered 120.71 meters.
It is given that the platoon and the last person moved with
uniform speed. Also, they both moved for the identical
amount of time. Hence, the ratio of the distance they
covered – while person moving forward and backword – are
equal.
Let’s assume that when the last person reached the first
person, the platoon moved X meters forward.
Thus, while moving forward the last person moved (50+X)
meters whereas the platoon moved X meters.
Similarly, while moving back the last person moved [50-(50-
X)] X meters whereas the platoon moved (50-X) meters.
Now, as the ratios are equal,
(50+X)/X = X/(50-X)
(50+X)*(50-X) = X*X
Solving, X=35.355 meters
Thus, total distance covered by the last person
= (50+X) + X
= 2*X + 50
= 2*(35.355) + 50
= 120.71 meters
Note that at first glance, one might think that the total
distance covered by the last person is 100 meters, as he
ran the total lenght of the platoon (50 meters) twice.
TRUE, but that’s the relative distance covered by the last
person i.e. assuming that the platoon is stationary.

24.
exp: 0 is formed by multiplying 5 with 2. so first we find
how many 5’s and 2’s are there in 100!.
No of 5’s : 100/5=20/5=4/5.
20 +4 =24.
No of 2’s : 100/2=50/2=25/2=12/2=6/2=3/2=1/2.
50 +25 +12 +6 +3 +1.
It has 24 5’s and 2’s.
so the no. of zeros=24.
