D.R.Kaprekar and geometry. In 1973, Ramanujam was elected as a fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences.

10. Shakuntala Devi

D.R.Kapreka was yet another great mathematician who was born on in Shakuntala Devi was one of the most in Year 1905. Kapreka pursued his popular mathematics geniuses of Indian graduation from University of Mumbai and origin. She was regarded as ‘Human started working as a teacher.

Due to her squares and integers with special outstanding mathematical problem solving properties. The kaprekar goes to capability, she won the first place at him. Guinness Book of World Records in 1995. She has even defeated UNIUAC, the fastest 9. C.P.Ramanujam computer’s time of 62 second to solve the 23rd root of a 201-digit number.

C.P.Ramanujam was one of the great mathematicians born in Chennai in year 1938. During his doctoral examination at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in 1957, Ramanujam impressed all his teachers and fellow students with his MATHS PUZZLES 1) Can you find four consecutive prime 8+6+3=482466 numbers that add up to 220? 5+4+5=202541 Answer Then 7+2+5=? 47+53+59+61=220. Answer 143547 2) Find three positive whole numbers that have the same answer added 6) Replace the ‘?’ by any mathematical together or when multiplied symbol to make the expression together? equal to 111. 18?12?2?3=111. Answer Answer 1,2&3. 18×12÷2+3=111. 1×2×3=6 and 1+2+3=6. 7) Today my car meter reads as 72927 3) When Deepak was six years old he kms. I notes that this is a hammered a nail into his favourite palindrome. How many minimum tree to mark his height. Five years kms I need to travel so my car meter later at age eleven, Deepak returned find another palindrome. to see how much higher the nail was. If the tree grew by ten inches each Answer year, how much higher would the 110 kms. nail be? 72927+110=73037, a palindrome. Answer The nail would be at the same height 8) Can you arrange for nines to make it since trees grow at their tops. equal to 100. Hint: use two mathematical symbols. 4) In a new Engineering Hostels Answer containing 100 rooms. Ramesh was 99+(9/9) = 100. hired to paint the numbers 1 to 100 on the doors. How many times will 9) What is the value of 1/2 of 2/3 of Ramesh have to paint the number 3/4 of 4/5 of 5/6 of 6/7 of 7/8 of eight? 8/9 of 9/10 of 1000? Answer Answer 20 times. 100. Look hard? Just work it 8,18,28,38,48,58,68,78,80,81,82,83,8 backwards. You found it easy. 4,85,86,87,88,89,98.

5) 5+3+2=151022

9+2+4=183652

NUMBER PUZZLES we’ve used that already. So B=1 21CD8*4 = 8DC12  To get the 1 that’s on the right-hand side, D*4+3 when divided by 10 must leave a remainder of 1. D can’t be 2 (2 has been used already) so D=7 21C78*4 = 87C12  4*C+3 when divided by 10 must give the answer 3 and a What 5 digit number(where the remainder C, so C=9 digits are all different and none of 21978*4 = 87912 . them is zero) multiplied by 4 gives an answer where the digits are those This sum uses all the digits from 0 of the original number but in reverse to 9 order? 28* Answer + **4 21978. ABCDE*4 = EDCBA **** Let’s start at the ends.  A can only be 1 or 2, because Answer A*4<10. E*4 divided by 10 289+764 = 1053. must leave a remainder of A. It can’t leave a remainder of 1, so A=2 2BCDE*4 = EDCB2  If E*4 divided by 10 leaves a remainder of 2, then E has to be 3 or 8. The E on the right- hand side must be 8 or 9. Putting those 2 constraints together, E=8 2BCD8*4 = 8DCB2  B*4 must be < 10. If it was more, then the first digit of ♠♠♠♠♠♠ the right-hand side wouldn’t be 8. B can’t be 2 because
