Q1 ∴  x=<1a_1 a_2 ...a_n >∈N  &  y=<a_1 a_2 ...a_n 1>∈N  if  y=3x  then  , find the smallest   value of  x  Q2 ∴ with the above conditions ,what other values   can be placed  besides the number “ 1 ”

1) x=10^n +((y−1)/(10));  y=3x⇒x=10^n +((3x−1)/(10))  ⇒10x=10^(n+1) +3x−1⇒7x=10^(n+1) −1  10^(n+1) −1≡0(mod 7)⇒3^(n+1) ≡1(mod 7)⇒3^n ≡^(7) 5  ord_3 (7)=6;3^5 ≡^7 5; φ(7)=6⇒n=6k+5; min(n)=5  ⇒min(x)=((10^6 −1)/7)=142857    2)x=p10^n +((3x−p)/(10))⇒10x=p10^(n+1) +3x−p  ⇒7x=p(10^(n+1) −1)  The first digit of  ((p(10^(n+1) −1))/7) should be p  This is only true for p=1,2  ⇒p=1 and 2 always work when n=6k+5.  Hence,only 2 can be placed besides the number  “1”.

very nice Sir  for p=2 ; the lowest value   x=285714
