A four digit number (not beginning with 0) can be represented by ABCD. There is one number such that ABCD=A^B*C^D, where A^B means A raised to the B power. Can you find it?
The only number is 2592. 2^5 is 32 and 9^2 is 81. 32*81 is 2592.

Out of three people (Lavesh, Mayank and Manoj), one of them is a king, one a bureaucrat, and one a thief.
The king always tells the truth, the bureaucrat always lies, and the thief can either lie or tell the truth.
Lavesh says: 'Manoj is a bureaucrat.'
Mayank says: 'Lavesh is a king.'
Manoj says: 'I am the thief.'
Who is the king, who the bureaucrat, and who the thief?
Lavesh is a King
Mayank is a Spy
Manoj is a Bureaucrat
Mayank is not the king, since if he is, then Lavesh would also be the king.
Manoj is not the king, since his statement would then be a lie.
Therefore Lavesh is the king. Hence Manoj is the bureaucrat, and Mayank is the thief.

Using Only Five 5's and any mathematical operator make sum as 37
((5!+5!)-55)/5
=>(120+120-55)/5
=>185/5
=>37
5!/(5+5)+5*5
=>120/10 + 25
=>12 + 25
=>37
