What is in the 200th position of 1234 12344 123444 1234444....?








Answer: 4











Explanation:
The given series is 1234, 12344, 123444, 1234444, .....
So the number of digits in each term are 4, 5, 6, ... or (3 + 1), (3 + 2), (3 + 3), .....upto n terms = 3n+n(n+1)2
So 3n+n(n+1)2200
For n = 16, We get 184 in the left hand side. So after 16 terms the number of digits equal to 184.  And 16 them contains 16 + 3 = 19 digits.
Now 17 term contains 20 digits and 123444......417times.  So last digit is 4 and last two digits are 44.

The telephone bill of a certain establishment is party fixed and partly varies as the number of calls consumed. When in a certain month 540 calls made the bill is Rs.1800. In another month 620 calls are consumed then the bill becomes Rs.2040. In another month 500 units are consumed due to more holidays. The bill for that month would be :

 The telephone bill of a certain establishment is party fixed and partly varies as the number of calls      consumed. When in a certain month 540 calls made the bill is Rs.1800. In another month 620 calls are      consumed then the bill becomes Rs.2040. In another month 500 units are consumed due to more      holidays. The bill for that month would be : a) Rs.1560           b) Rs.1680      c) 1840            d) Rs.1950  Expl : Let the fixed amount be Rs. X and the cost of each unit be Rs. Y.     Then, 540y + x = 1800 …. And 620y + x =  2040     On subtracting (i) from (ii), we get 80y = 240 -> y = 3     Putting y = 3 in (i) we get :     540 * 3 +  x = 1800 x = (1800-1620) = 180     . :  Fixed charges = Rs.180, Charge per unit = Rs.3.     Total charges for consuming 500 units = 180 +(500*3) = Rs.1680
