In a clock Conventional clock with numbers 1 to 12 in order is cut into 3 pieces such that the

Sum of the 12 numbers=1+2+3+......+12=12*13/2=78
So we have to divide it into 3 slots such that the sum is 78 and sum of each slot is in AP, thus the 3 slots are 25,26,27. So the numbers can be:
3+4+5+6+7=25
8+9+10=27
11+12+1+2=26

In a clock there are total of 78 hrs..by dividing it by 3 we get 26..i.e., 26,26,26
with Arithmetic Progression(AP) difference of 1 means have to divide that as 25,26,27

Three parts are
1st part : 10,9,8
2nd part : 11,12,1,2
3rd part : 3,4,5,6,7

so that we can get the sum values of pieces at AP with the common difference of 1.
Hence total hours in the bigger part is 25 hrs

first..remind that there is no saying that cut should be equal...so divide the clock into 3 pieces ...following this way..(3+4+5+6+7),(11+12+1+2),(8+9+10)...u will find that these sum are in A.P...& the common diff. is 1

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
sum of frst n natural num of the series of each piece is
10 , 32, 78

first piece 12,7,6,
second -11,8,5,2
third-10,9,4,3,1

cp of 1m= 40000/400 = 100rs
sp of 1m = 200/(3/2) = 400/3 rs
%gain = sp-cp / cp= ((400/3)- 100)/100 X 100 = 100/3 X 100 = 33.33%

12+13=25 but it is also correct na

In a clock (Conventional clock with numbers 1 to 12 in order)is cut into 3 pieces such that the sum of each piece in AP with a common difference of 1. What is the count of numbers in each piece? and what are the numbers?
