1 in 10,000,000
There are 10 digits i.e. 0-9. First digit can be dialed in
10 ways. Second digit can be dialed in 10 ways. Third digit
can be dialed in 10 ways. And so on.....
Thus, 7-digit can be dialed in 10*10*10*10*10*10*10
(=10,000,000) ways. And, you have just one telephone number.
Hence, the possibility that you will dial your own number is
1 in 10,000,000.
Note that 0123456 may not be a valid 7-digit telephone
number. But while dialing in random order, that is one of
the possible 7-digit number which you may dial.

Answer / raju
Here is the answer :
Suitable condition are only 1.
Total conditions are 9 X 10 X 10 X 10 X 10 X 10 X 10 = 9000000.
I am taking the first digits as 9 because if phone number is
7 digit is cannot have ZERO at the start. so probablity is :
1 / 9000000

Answer / george prasanna
I agree with Raju...
the seven positions are
- - - - - - -
first position (1-9)=9 ways
second position (0-9)=10 waya
third position (0-9)=10 waya
fourth position (0-9)=10 waya
fifth position (0-9)=10 waya
sixth position (0-9)=10 waya
seventh position (0-9)=10 waya
so one in 9x10^6 ways
so probability is 1/9000000

Answer / vicky
possible numbers tat can be pressed r 0-9.totally ten.
but,we r going to have our telephone number as a 7digit....
overall probability is 10c7.
but,to select a number from 0 to 9 once,our required
probability is 10c1..we r gonna use it 7 times as they
didn't mention about the repetition of values.
so,the probability of choosing a number is 7times 10c1.
therefore,the answer might be
(7*10c1)/(10c7)
=70/120
=.583333333

Four friends - Arjan, Bhuvan, Guran and Lakha were comparing the number of sheep that they owned. It was found that Guran had ten more sheep than Lakha. If Arjan gave one-third to Bhuvan, and Bhuvan gave a quarter of what he then held to Guran, who then passed on a fifth of his holding to Lakha, they would all have an equal number of sheep. How many sheep did each of them possess? Give the minimal possible answer

Substitute digits for the letters to make the following subtraction problem true. S A N T A - C L A U S ----------------- X M A S Note that the leftmost letter can't be zero in any word. Also, there must be a one-to-one mapping between digits and letters. e.g. if you substitute 3 for the letter M, no other letter can be 3 and all other M in the puzzle must be 3.
