how many times a day do the minute and hour hands of a clock form a straight line but in opposite direction

For this I am not writing any formula , simply  with the help of table we will try to understand the concept.

the minute and hour hands of a clock form a straight line but in opposite direction
1
Between 12.30 to 12.35
2
Between 1.35 to 1.40
3
Between 2.40 to 2.45
4
Between 3.45 to 3.50
5
Between 4.50 to 4.55
6
Between 5.55 to 6.00  : means at 6.00 clock they are straight but opposite @

Between 6.00 to 6.05 hands are not straight in opposite direction
7
 Between 7.05 to 7.10
8
Between  8.10 to 8.15
9
Between  9.15 to 9.20
10
Between  10.20 to 10.25
11
Between  11.25  to 11.30                  #  goto step 1

@ in 6 th column if we see in 5 to 6 hours and 6.00 to 7.00 hours they will straight but opposite only one time.
By seeing the above table the minute hand and hour hand s of a clock form straight line but in opposite direction in 11 times.

Means in 12 hours or in half day they are straight but in opposite direction 11 times.
since in a day of 24 hours ,hands of a clock are straight but in opposite direction  22 times.

average of first 100 odd numbers

  Odd  numbers are 1,3,5,7,9,…. Average = sum of elements/  no  of elments Now we will see the sum of elements: Sum of first 2 odd  numbers: 1+3= 4= 2 2 Sum of first 3 odd  numbers: 1+3+5= 9= 3 2 Sum of first 4 odd  numbers: 1+3+5+7=16= 4 2 Sum of first 5 odd  numbers: 1+3+5+7+9 = 25 = 5 2 Sum of first n odd  numbers: 1+3+5+7+9+. . . . .  n numbers= n 2 Now we will see average: Average of first 2 odd numbers= (1+3)/2                                                           = 4/2                                                                 =2 Average of first 3 odd  numbers= (1+3+5)/3                                                           = 9/3                                                                 =3 Average of first 4 odd  numbers= (1+3+5+7)/4                                                           = 16/4                                                                 =4 Average of first 5 odd numbers= (1+3+5+7+9)/5            

LOGIC BEHIND MAGIC SQUARE

Assume a magic square of 3x3 A B C D E F G H I The above figure shows a 3x3 magic square. In the magic square sum of colum, row, diagnol numbers should be same A+B+C=D+E+F=G+H+I=A+D+G=B+E+H=C+F+I=A+E+I=C+E+G=sum A+B+C D+E+F G+H+I A+D+G B+E+H C+F+I A+E+I C+E+G By  seeing the  above there is 8 type of sum is available. Row wise-3,  column wise-3, diagnol wise-2. Condition#1: There are 8 different combinations are there with same sum in a magic square. In the above 8 combinations A=2 times, B= 3 times, C= 2 times, D=3 times E=4 times, F=3 times, G=2 times, H=3 times, I= 2 times Hence the above forms the condition#2. In simply condition#2, middle number E appears 4 times in 8 combinations. Hence row, column, diagnol sum should be equal. In 3x3 magic square we are taking numbers from 1 to 9. From 9 numbers we need to take 3 numbers. From combination f

average of first n natural numbers

The natural numbers are 1,2,3,4,5,. . . . . . now we will see the sum of natural numbers                       sum of first 3 natural numbers= 1+2+3=6 the above can be written as                      sum of first 3 natural numbers= 1+2+3=6=3(3+1)/2                      sum of first 4 natural numbers= 1+2+3+4=4(4+1)/2                      then sum of n natural numbers=1+2+3+......n terms=n(n+1)/2 then the average formula = sum of elements/no of elements                     the average of n natural numbers= sum of elements/ no of elements                                                                         =(n(n+1)/2)/n                                                                         =n(n+1)/2xn                                                                         =(n+1)/2   THE AVERAGE OF FIRST N NATURAL  NUMBERS=(n+1)/2 The average of first 5 natural numbers                                  sum of 5 natural numbers=1+2+3+4+5=15
