Answer 1

Answer:

97

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following conditions :

board measuring 1x100, each square is numbered from 1 to 100

Three colors are used to paint the squares from left to right in the sequence :

one blue, two reds and three green squares in a repeated pattern.

What is the highest numbered square that is painted blue?

The sequence of painting is repeated after :

(1 + 2 + 3) = 6 successive squares

Since the number of squares = 100

Maximum complete repetition possible :

100 / 6 = 16 remainder 4

Hence 16 * 6 = 96 (the highest complete sequence terminates on the square numbered 96)

On the 97th square, another sequence begins which is a blue and the 100th square is painted the first of the 3 green colors.

Hence, the highest numbered square that is painted blue is 97
