back to boardthose who want hint for N, ####...N/2times ####...N/2 times consider first half N/2 digits sum(digit root) will always be from 0 to 9 it will be 0 only if all digits are 0's and it'll will 1,2,3 .... ,9 in other cases... for N=4 first half will have 2 digits ( total 100 numbers ) 1 number(00) will have digit root = 0 99 numbers will have digit root other than 0 ( i.e 11 numberes --> digit root 1 , 11 numbers ---> digit root 2 etc ) so for N=4 , case i : first half = 00 second half =00 -----> n1 = 1 case ii: first half --> 99 ways , second half --> 11 ways n2= 99*11 total number = n1+n2 = 99*11 + 1 similarly for N=6 , we have 999*111 + 1 N=8 , 9999*1111 + 1 so on... Hint Posted by ASK 17 Mar 2010 15:17 Do not use BigInteger to calculate. Let k = n/2, then the result is 10 for k=1; otherwise it is a concatenation of "1"x(k-1), "0", "8"x(k-2), and "90": 1 10 2 1090 3 110890 4 11108890 5 1111088890 6 111110888890 7 11111108888890 8 1111111088888890 9 111111110888888890 |
