This is an objective problem from TOMATO based on finding the Number of Positive Divisors. Problem: The number of positive integers which divide $240$ is- (A) $18$; (B) $20$; (C) $30$; (D) $24$; Discussion: We use the formula for computing number of divisors of a number: Step 1: Prime factorise the given number $240 = […]
Let us discuss about 'inequality' related problems - Minimum Perimeter Problem. All algebraic inequality problems can be traced back to two key ideas: Positive times positive is positive Square of a real number is nonnegative Though these two notions seem trivial and obvious in nature, they lead to a very rich and diverse theory of […]
Here is a variant of clueless Sudoku that I was trying for fun. In clueless Sudoku A n*n board is given No numbers are written on the board The board is divided in some blocks (typically in some pattern). Sum of numbers in each block must be constant. Numbers 1 to n must appear in […]
