Given for year = 70000

=> 365 days = 70000

=> 365 x 24 hours = 70000

=>   1 hour = ?

70000/365x24 = 7.990 = 8

We know that zero can't be in hundreds place. But let's assume that our number could start with zero.

The formula to find sum of all numbers in a permutation is

111 x no of ways numbers can be formed for a number at given position x sum of all given digits

No of 1 s depends on number of digits

So,the answer us

111 x 20 x (0+1+2+3+4+5) = 33300

We got 20 as follows. If we have 0 in units place we can form a number in 4*5 ways. This is for all numbers. So we have substituted 20 in formula.

Now, this is not the final answer because we have included 0 in hundreds place. so we have to remove the sum of all numbers that starts with 0.

This is nothing but the sum of all 2 digits numbers formed by 1 2 3 4 5. Because 0 at first place makes it a 2 digit number.

So the sum for this is 11 x 4 x (1+2+3+4+5).
=660

Hope u understood why we use 4. Each number can be formed in 4x1 ways

So, the final answer is 33300-660 = 32640

Let the slower pipe alone fill the tank in x min.

Then, faster pipe will fill it in x/3 min.

1/x + 3/x = 1/36
