Tough and Tricky questions: Number Properties.



If n is an integer and 101n^2 is less than or equal to 8100, what is the greatest possible value of n?

A. 7
B. 8
C. 9
D. 10
E. 11

Kudos for a correct solution.

Dear Bunuel

How come the question is tough and tricky and in same time sub-600?

My approach:

101n^2 < 8100

101n^2 < 81* 100

101n^2 < 9^2 * 10^2

Scanning answer choice

if n =9 , then left side is will be greater as 101 > 100. then we left with only choice below 9

n =8

Answer: B

Kudos for a correct solution.

I miss read the question first and considered 101n^2 as 1011^2 or 1015^2 etc and thought that "n" is the last digit of a 4 digit integer. But after going through the answer choices got it.

101 * n^2 <= 8100

If we take n = 9, it will become 8101>8100

Therefore C,D, E are out.

It's (B)
