@TotalGadha
theproductofthedivisorsthatyouhavementionedinthetextiswronginthelastformula

Itshowstheproductas=[a^(a.(a+1)).b^(b.(b+1)).c^(c.(c+1))]^(1/2)
Foranexample2^2.3^2
divisors=2^0.3^0,2^1.3^0,2^2.3^0,2^0.3^1,2^1.3^1,2^2.3^1,2^0.3^2,2^1.3^2,2^2.3^2
product=2^9.3^9
Nowaspertheformula=[2^(2.3).3^(2.3)]^(1/2)=2^3.3^3
Theflawcomeswhenyouopenthebracketsinthepreviousformula,
i.e.bymistakeuhaveopenedthebracesas
(a.b.c)^(x.y.z)=a^x.b^y.c^zwhichiswrong
ratheritshudbe

HiSuraj,
Justsawyourquestion....IthinkIsolvedit,butyouwon'tbelieve,amnotsureoftheproperlogic..
Anyways,hereitis:
WerequirenossuchasF(N)=N+1(Nhastobea2digitno)
Firstofsuchnois19,asF(19)=(1+1)(9+1)=20=19+1
Nextisthenexttwodigitnoendingina9,i.e29asF(29)=(2+1)(9+1)=30=29+1
Now,goingbythetrend,wecanseethatallofthebelow:
39,49,59...99willbeshowingsimilarproperty..
So,basicallywehave9such2digitnos.
NowIneedtotakeacloserlookatmysolution,butstillthoughttopostitbythattime...

iamnotsureaboutmyapproach.kindlycorrectmeincaseigowrong.
oddnumbersbetween150and350aredivisibleneitherby9norby11=totaloddnumbersbetween150and200(oddmultiplesof9)(odd
multiplesof11)+(oddmultiplesof11and9)
totaloddnumbersbetween150and350is=(350150)/2=100.
oddmultiplesof9=[totalmultiplesof9intherange]/2(sinceeveryalternatemultiplesisaevennumberfor9(aswellas11)).(=11)
where[]standsforsmallestintegervalue.
oddmultiplesof11=totalmultipleof11intherange/2.(=9)
oddmultiplesof11and9=totalmultiplesof99intherange/2.
(=1)
soaccordingtome,answershouldcomeouttobe:
100119+1=81.

@suraj,myanswerisalso9andhereisthesolution:
letthe2digitnumberbeab.
henceabcanalsobewrittenas10a+b
nowF(ab)=(a+1)(b+1)=ab+a+b+1
forF(ab)=ab+1
wehave:
ab+a+b+1=10a+b+1
hence,wehave

ab=9a
b=9
andacanbeanyvalueincluding19.hence9differentvalues

Tofindthemaximumnumberofdaysinasingleyearwehavetolookoutforanyearwithmaximumnumberofprimefactors.
So,afewyearsbetween50and100withmorethan3primefactorsare:54,60,72,80,81,88,90and96.
Sincethenumberofmonthscanbeupto12andnumberofdayscanbeupto31,soonacarefullookwefindthattheonlytheoptions60and90have

Clearly,1960istheanswer.
