highest power of 25 that divides the product of the first 100 multiples of 5,74,100,62..

Answer / manish@1011

The number in this case will be:
(5*1)*(5*2)..........(5*100)

So this number basically consists of 100 5s and (1*2*3...*100) which is 100!

Now we have to determine the power of 25 which will divide this number.
For this we will have to determine the number of 5s in the expression.

We know that there are 100 5s already.

Now consider 100!:

The number of zeros in 100! will be given by:

where [] is the greatest integer function
=> 20 + 4

So this will give 24 as the answer.

Now the total number of 5s are: 100+24 = 124

We need this number to be divisible by 125 which is :
5^2

So divide 124 by 2. This gives 62 as the answer.
So answer is 62

Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = X - Y – Z where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be • 4 • -18 • 9 • 2
