AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the number of five-digit numbers within the range of 10,000 to 99,999. There are 90,000 total five-digit numbers. For five-digit numbers with distinct digits, the total is calculated as 27,216. To find how many five-digit numbers contain at least one odd digit, the calculation shows that there are 87,500 such numbers after excluding those with all even digits. The participants explore various methods to solve these problems, emphasizing the importance of distinct digit selection and the impact of odd and even digits.

A 5 digit number is one between 10,000 and 99,999 inclusive
1. How many 5 digits numbers are therE?
2. HOW MANY CONSISTOF 5 DISTINCT DIGITS?
3. hOW MANY 5 DIGIT NUMBERS CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE ODD DIGIT? :rolleyes:

You don't need to shout. :rolleyes:

So, what have you tried?
 
oops sorry..(LOL)
well first i did..
10,000-99,999 +1 =90000 thast question 1

I am stuck with question 2 and 3.. I want to divide by 5 or subtract.. but Iam warped//..

(Note: In the following discussion, "Digit #1" is the LEFTMOST digit.)
SOLUTION HINTS:
2) → For 5 distinct digits, you have 9 choices for the 1st digit, 9 for the 2nd, 8 for the 3rd, 7 for the 4th, and 6 for the 5th. ⇒ ⇒ {Total Number}={? x ? x ? x ? x ?}.
3) → The numbers having at least 1 odd digit would be those left over after removing numbers having all even digits. In other words, {90,000 - (?)}. For the number having all 5 even digits, remember that digit #1 can be any of {2, 4, 6, or 8 ⇒ 4 choices}, and digits #2 thru #5 can be any of {0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 ⇒ 5 choices}.

i am starting to see it.. but where would I select the distinct digits?? from 90,000 or would i choose
89999,89998,89997 and so on?
or would I take them from 10,000 and 99,999?

(In the following discussion, "Digit #1" is the Leftmost digit.)

Problem #2:
Digit #1 (Leftmost) is chosen from the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ⇒ 9 choices}, and Digits #2 thru #5 are chosen from the set {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ⇒ 10 choices}, with the provision that each digit is distinct (different).
Thus, Digit #1 has 9 choices, Digit #2 has 9 choices {=(10 - 1) after eliminating #1's choice}, Digit #3 has 8 choices {=(10 - 2) after eliminating #1's & #2's choices}, Digit #4 has 7 choices {=(10 - 3) after eliminating #1's, #2's, & #3's choices}, and Digit #5 has 6 choices {=(10 - 4) after eliminating #1's, #2's, #3's, & #4's choices}.
{Total # of Numbers from 10000 to 99999 with All Distinct Digits} =
= (9)x(9)x(8)x(7)x(6) = (27216)

Problem #3:
The numbers having at least 1 odd digit would be those left over after removing numbers having all even digits. In other words, {90,000 - (# with All Even Digits)}. For the number having all 5 even digits, Digit #1 can be any of {2, 4, 6, or 8 ⇒ 4 choices}, and Digits #2 thru #5 can be any of {0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 ⇒ 5 choices}.
{Total # of Numbers from 10000 to 99999, inclusive, with At Least 1 Odd Digit} =
= 90000 - {(4)x(5)x(5)x(5)x(5)} = (87500)

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
