    There are 2 zeros in 10! as, 2*5 has one zero and 10*1 has another.

    Using the same logic, we will get that 20! has 4 zeros.

    However, 30! has 7 zeros because 5*5=25.

    So, we have to look out for 5^x and multiples of them.

    40! has 9 zeros.

    50! has 11 + 1 zeros because 50=2*5^2.

    60! has 14 zeros.

    70! has 16 zeros.

    80! has 18+1 zeros as 75=3*5^2.

    90! has 21 zeros.

    100! has 23+1 zeros =24 as 100=4*5^2.

    We can find an algorithm:100/5=20

    100/5^2=4

    20+4=24; It is the number of zeros in 100!.

    So now we have a powerful weapon to solve this problem.

    No. of zeros in 1000!:1000/5=200

    1000/5^2=40

    1000/5^3=8

    1000/5^4=1.6(We will consider the whole no. part only)

    So no. of zeros in 1000!=249.

    Similarly no. of zeros in 1100!=220+44+8+1=273.

    1200!=240+48+9+1=298

    1150!=230+46+9+1=286

    1175!=235+47+9+1=292

    1170!=234+46+9+1=290.

    We got our answer. It is 1170. 🙂

    Proof:1. If there is x in a set, then it will have to be in a partition.(symmetric)

    2.If x ~y, they are in the same partition.

    =>y~x(reflexive)

    3.If x~y,y~z,

    Then x~z as all are in the same partition.(transitive)

    Sir, here is the proof:

    Given: The number is an INTEGER.

    To Prove: If a number is divisible by 3, then the SUM of the DIGITS is divisible by 3.(Converse)

    Proof: Suppose there exists a number abc with as HUNDREDS PLACE, b as TENS and as ONES.

    • abc= 100a+10b+c

    Suppose a+b+c=3n where n is an INTEGER.

    Divide 100a+10b+c by 3.

    You will get the REMAINDER as a+b+c.

    a+b+c is divisible by 3.

    Therefore, 100a+10b+c is DIVISIBLE by 3.

    So, abc is DIVISIBLE by 3. (Proved) 🙂

    Given : AB+AD+AC=AB+BC+BD=BC+CD+AC=BC+AD+BD

    To Prove : Quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle.

    Construction : None required.

    Proof : We know that AB+AD+AC=AB+BC+BD=BC+CD+AC=CD+AD+BD.

    Thus, AB+AD=BC+CD;                            (1)

    AB+BC=CD+AD.                                        (2)

    From subracting (2) from (1), we get:

    AB-CD=CD-AB.

    So,AB=CD.

    Similarly,BC=AD.

    Thus, ABCD is a parallelogram...  (The proof is not completed yet)

    Since: AB=BC,

    BC is common,

    AC=BD,

    Angles ABC=BCD.

    By proving all the angles equal by the method of congruency above,

    All angles must be right angles.

    Thus, ABCD is a rectangle. (Proved)

    AB+BC=CD+AD.                             (2)

    From subtracting (2) from (1), we get:

    AB-CD=CD-AB.

    So,AB=CD.

    Similarly,BC=AD.

    So, BC=AD.
