Question
Select the correct answerA girl counted in the following way on the fingers of her left hand : She started by calling the thumb 1, the index finger 2, middle finger 3, ring finger 4, little finger 5 and then reversed direction calling the ring finger 6, middle finger 7 and so on. She counted upto 1995. She ended counting on which finger ?OptionsThumb Ring fingerMiddle finger Index finger
Solution
The girl is counting in a sequence of 1 to 5 and then 5 to 1, which makes it a sequence of 9 numbers.
To find out on which finger she ended counting, we need to find the remainder when 1995 is divided by 9.
1995 divided by 9 equals 221 remainder 6.
So, she ended on the 6th finger of the sequence.
The sequence is: Thumb (1), Index (2), Middle (3), Ring (4), Little (5), Ring (6), Middle (7), Index (8), Thumb (9).
Therefore, she ended counting on the Ring finger.
