Solution 1.Step 1:
1000 → digits: 1, 0, 0, 0
Descending: 1000
Ascending: 0001
1000 − 0001 = 0999
Step 2:
0999 → digits: 0, 9, 9, 9
Descending: 9990
Ascending: 0999
9990 − 0999 = 8991
Step 3:
8991 → Descending: 9981
Ascending: 1899
9981 − 1899 = 8082
Step 4:
8082 → Descending: 8820
Ascending: 0288
8820 − 0288 = 8532
Step 5:
8532 → Descending: 8532
Ascending: 2358
8532 − 2358 = 6174 ← reached!
Thus,5 rounds are needed to reach 6174 starting from 1000.
Solution 3: a palindromic date in the 21st century (2001–2100) must satisfy this symmetry.
Example:12-02-2021
Reverse it: 12-02-2021 → Still the same.
This is a palindromic date in DD-MM-YYYY format and falls within the 21st century.
The date 12-12-2012 is considered interesting because all the numbers are same. Find the next date after 12-12-12
that has a similar pattern where the date and year digits all are the same.
like 11-11-2011 or 12-12-2012
The only years that satisfy “all digits same” are: 1111, 2222, 3333, ..., 9999
Now let’s search for the earliest future date after 12-12-2012 where:
Day and month are valid (01 to 31 for day, 01 to 12 for month)
Year has all same digits
All components (DD, MM, YYYY) use the same digit
We try:
22-2-2222 → valid date: 22-02-2222
Day = 22, Month = 2, Year = 2222 → all digits are 2 → MATCH
So the next date after 12-12-2012 where the day, month, and year consist of the same digit is:
22-02-2222 (22nd February 2222)
Solution 5:
(1) 01:10
(2) 02:20
(3) 12:21
These times are symmetric and read the same from left to right and right to left.
Solution 2:-
If the number is even, divide it by 2.
If the number is odd, multiply by 3 and add 1.
Apply these steps repeatedly until you reach 1.
Let's start with 10:
10 is even → 10 / 2 = 5
5 is odd → 3 * 5 + 1 = 16
16 is even → 16 / 2 = 8
8 is even → 8 / 2 = 4
4 is even → 4 / 2 = 2
2 is even → 2 / 2 = 1
Colitis Sequence starting from 10:
10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1
Solution 4:-First, let's round the weekly production to the nearest hundred:
2,385 rounded to the nearest hundred is 2,400 toys.
Now, to find the approximate monthly production, assume a month has about 4 weeks:
Monthly production ≈ 2,400 toys/week × 4 weeks = 9,600 toys.
So, approximately 9,600 toys are produced in a month.
