#Numbers-3
When the natural numbers 1,2,3,4,5,.......,500 then the digit 3 is used n times in this way. The value of n is-
(a)100
(b)200
(c)300
(d)400
SOLUTION:-
We have 3 places where 3 can come, unit digit, tens digit and hundred digit.
_ _ _
Now, if we fix 3 at unit digit place,
_ _ 3
At hundred digit place, there can be a total of 5 numbers(0,1,2,3,4) and at tens digit place there can be any of the 10 numbers(0-9)
Total ways = 5*10 = 50------(1)
Similarly when we fix 3 at tens digit place,
_ 3 _
Again we will have 50 numbers (5*10)------(2)
Similarly fixing 3 at hundred digit place,
3 _ _
Now we will have 10*10 = 100 ----------(3)
Adding these 3 equations we get, 50+50+100 = 200 times ANS
## Counting in such manner had worked because we have to count the number of times 3 appeared, fixing 3 at the unit place will also give 333, fixing 3 at tens place will also give 333 and we will also get 333 when we fix 3 at hundred digits place. We have counted 333 three times which is same as counting number of 3 that will occur in 333.
(a)100
(b)200
(c)300
(d)400
