Explanations
to selected questions
1. ‘There were all sparrows but ‘six’ means that six birds
were not sparrows but only pigeons and ducks.
Similarly,
number of sparrows + number of ducks = 6 and number of sparrows + number of
pigeons = 6
This
is possible when there are 3 sparrows, 3 pigeons and 3 ducks i.e. 9 birds in
all.
2. Clearly, every member except one
(i.e. the winner) must lose one game to decide the winner. Thus, minimum number
of matches to be played = 30 – 1 = 29.
3. Since one of the numbers on the dial
of a telephone is zero, so the product of all the numbers on it is 0.
5. Clearly, from 1 to 100 , there are
ten numbers with 3 as the unit’s digit – 3,13,23,33,43,53,63,73,83,93; and ten
number with 3 as the ten’s digit – 30,31,33,34,35,36,37,8,39.
So, required number = 10 + 10 = 20.
