To determine how many consecutive zeros the product of S will end with, we need to find the highest power of 10 that divides the product. This is equivalent to finding the highest power of 5 that divides the product, since the number of factors of 2 will always be greater than the number of factors of 5.
The primes in S are {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97}.
There are 24 primes in S, so the product of S is:
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 11 x 13 x 17 x 19 x 23 x 29 x 31 x 37 x 41 x 43 x 47 x 53 x 59 x 61 x 67 x 71 x 73 x 79 x 83 x 89 x 97
We need to find the highest power of 5 that divides this product. To do this, we count the number of factors of 5 in the prime factorization of each number in S.
5 appears once: 5
5 appears once: 25
5 appears once: 35
5 appears once: 55
5 appears once: 65
5 appears once: 85
So, there are six factors of 5 in the product of S. However, we also need to consider the powers of 5 that arise from the factors 25, 35, 55, and 65.
25 = 5 x 5 appears once: 25
35 = 5 x 7 appears once: 35
55 = 5 x 11 appears once: 55
65 = 5 x 13 appears once: 65
Each of these numbers contributes an additional factor of 5 to the product of S. Therefore, there are 6 + 4 = 10 factors of 5 in the product of S.
Since each factor of 5 corresponds to a factor of 10, we know that the product of S will end with 10 zeros. Therefore, the product of S will end with 10 consecutive zeros

Balls- B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9.
Group1 – (B1, B2, B3), Group2 – (B4, B5, B6), Group3 – (B7, B8, B9)
Now weigh any two groups. Group1 on left side of the scale and Group2 on the right side.
When weighing scale tilts left – Group1 has a heavy ball or right – Group2 has a heavy ball or balanced – Group3 has a heavy ball.
Lets assume Group 1 has a heavy ball.
Now weigh any two balls from Group1. B1 on left side of the scale and B2 on right side.
When weighing scale tilts left – B1 is the heavy or tilts right – B2 is the heavy or balanced – B3 is the heavy.

1600 years contain 0 odd day.
300 years contain 1 odd day.
94 years = (23 leap years + 71 ordinary years)
= (46 + 71) odd days
= 117 odd days, i.e., 5 odd days
Days from 1st January 1995 to 28th February 1995
= (31 + 28) days = 59 days
= (8 weeks + 3 days) = 3 odd days
∴ Total number of odd days
= (0 + 1 + 5 + 3) = 9 odd days i.e., 2 odd days.
So, the required day is Tuesday.
8-3 = 5
15-8 = 7
24-15 = 9
34-24 = 10 this one should be 35-24 = 11
48 – 34 = 14 based on the correction will be 48-35 = 13
63-48 = 15
the difference will create a series 5,7,9,11,13,15…..etc
