Playing with factorials

Image
Have you ever gone through factorial dependent questions in aptitude? Many problems which deal with factorials seems to be too complex and most of us may skip those questions even before a single try.so how can we stop these problems irritating or confusing us? well a few simple procedures to solve all such problems are given here Before starting the procedures, let us learn about basics... Factorial(!): Product of an integer with all the integers below it. e.g: 4! = 4*3*2*1 The Highest power of a prime number 'P' (P is prime) in factorial of another number 'N' is N/P + N /P^2 + N/P^3 + .....

Problems on trains aptitude tricks

Voila, you are here! Problems on trains in aptitude problems are not just to test your ability to solve the problems on trains and their properties but you can logically resolve many theories using this concept and this is one of the important part while learning aptitude. Conversions: A Kilometer/Hour = A(5//18) meter/second. A meter/second = A(18/5) Kilometer/Hour. Foundation: Time taken by a train of length 'l' units to cross a fixed point or pole is equal to the time taken by the train to travel 'l' units. Time taken by a train of length 'l' units to cross a  stationery object of length 'm' units units is equal to the time taken by the train to travel 'l+m' units. Suppose 2 trains are moving in the same direction with speeds U , V where U > V then their relative speed is U - V .
