1 and 5 both are constant so we can never express it as 1=5 or 5=1 because it is an inequality(1<5 or 5>1).

actually the whole question is absolutely wrong.

Shozab Hasan said...

the answer for this question is only and only 54325 according to pattern.

Shahid Munir said...

I'll be honest. I was gong to say 54325. But after second thought I will say 1. (Second thought I had only after seeing blog). :)

the answer should be 54325 but it is not a proper mathemetics question. The level of Harvard test is very obvioius.

If:
1 = 5
then 5 = 1
obviously

Well, in my point of view there are two possible answers
5=1 or 54325...Generally Speaking 54325 deems to be approximately accurate...however 5=1 is illogical bt in Maths there are many possibilties... :P

Sulaiman said...

if

1 = 5
2 = 25
3 = 325
4 = 4325
5 = ?

Using the valuation provided for 1 to 4, 5 could be:

5 = 1 + 4 i.e. 5 + 4325 = 4330
or
5 = 2 + 3 i.e. 25 + 325 = 350
or
5 = 2 + 2 + 1 i.e. 25 + 25 + 5 = 55
or
5 = 3 + 1 + 1 i.e. 325 + 5 + 5 = 335
or
5 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 i.e. 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25

or
5 = 4 + 2 - 1, 5 = 2 + 1 + 1 + 1, 5 = .......

as 1=5
therefore
5=1

1=5 so 5=1

Ali said...

5=1 because 1=5. There is no other logical answer

Syed Salman Ali said...

Well nice to see all Local people
but where is your logic gone ???

if 1=5
then sequence is
2 = 25
3 = 325
4 = 4325
now question is
5=?
now science sequence is running and there is equality in 1 and 5 i.e "1=5"..
now back to sequence
5=12345 -> coz 1=5 already

that's so simple its obviously equal to 1

Due to the Boolean Algebra, since the condition is false, so every value is considered true for 5

You all Gadhas use your common sense......!

sheeraz said...

Ye gadha gadha kya laga rakha hai...

its very eagy, as its a pure logic there, (mentioned in the quetion) ok,

since 1=5,
hence it is proved that
5=1 (the correct answer)
Understand.
