Re: 3-Digit Numbers Puzzle
This can be solve by probability. I can't get the formula but I could give an intellectual guess. Because 100 is the start of 3-digit numbers, I could get 9 combinations of it. Let me identify them as 101, 112, 123, 134, 145, 156, 167, 178, 189.
Now I will just subtract 1 from the number that I have identified in order to have the next set of numbers in the 200 range. Those are 202, 213, 224, 235, 246, 257, 268, 279. So that means, 9 combinations for 100 range, then 8 combinations for 200 range, next will be 7 combinations for 300 range, and so on and so forth. Therefore the solution for me guess would be 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 +2 + 1, which will be 45 combinations. What price would I get from this? Just kidding! |

Re: 3-Digit Numbers Puzzle
if the number is xyz
z= x+y max value of z=9 to satisfy the given condition, x can take any value from 0to 9, but y takes only one value for a given x,i.e 9-x so there are 9 possibilities for z=9 similarily for z=8,there are 8 possibilities and so on so required combination is 9+8+7+6+.....+1=9*10/2=45 numbers |
