Questions and Answers

Q 1 - What is the unit digit in 735 - 348?

A - 5

B - 7

C - 2

D - 1

Answer : C

Explanation

Unit digit in 735 = (74)8 x 73
= 1 x 3 = 3
Unit digit in 348 = (34)12
= 1
Therefore, unit digit in 735 - 348 = 3 - 1 = 2

Q 2 - Which of the following numbers is completely divisible by 45?

A - 32765

B - 20000

C - 2025

D - 20280

Answer : C

Explanation

45 = 5 x 9
So, co-primes are 5 and 9
For divisibility, the unit digits must be 0 or 5 and sum of digits must be divisible by 9.
The unit digit of 2025 is 5 and sum of digits is divisible by 9
Therefore, 2025 is completely divisible by 45.

Q 3 - Which of the following is a prime number?

A - 7

B - 9

C - 12

D - 20

Answer : A

Explanation

7 as it has no positive divisors except 1.

Q 4 - It is being given that (232) + 1) is completely divisible by a whole number. Which of the following numbers is completely divisible by this number?

A - 216 - 1

B - 216 + 1

C - 296 + 1

D - none of these

Answer : C

Explanation

Let 232 = p
-> (232 + 1) = p + 1
Let (p + 1) be completely divisible by natural number Z. Then->
(296 + 1) = [(232)3 + 1]
As (p3 + 1) = (p + 1)(p2 - p + 1), which is completely divisible by Z, since (p + 1) is completely divisible by Z.

Q 5 - 6 + 15 + 24 + 33 + ... + 123 = ?

A - 903

B - 603

C - 752

D - 690

Answer : A

Explanation

a = 6, d = 9, l = 123
Let number of terms be n
123 = a + (n - 1)d
123 = 6 + (n - 1)9
123 = 9n - 9
n = 14
Sn = n2 (a + l)
= 142 (6 + 123)
= 7 x 129
= 903

Q 6 - What is the unit digit in in 795 - 358 ?

A - 0

B - 4

C - 6

D - 7

Answer : B

Explanation

  795 = (74)23 x 73 So Unit digit in 795 = Unit digit in 1 x 343 = 3  358 = (34)14 x 32 So Unit digit in 358 = Unit digit in 1 x 9 = 9  So Unit digit in 795 - 358 = Unit digit in 13 - 9 = 4.

Q 7 - 1024 x 976 = y. What is y?

A - 999414

B - 999324

C - 999424

D - 999524

Answer : C

Explanation

  y =1024 x 976  = (1000 + 24) x (1000 - 24)  Now using formula (a+b)(a-b)=a2-b2  y = (1000)2 - (24)2  = 1000000 - 576  = 999424  

Q 8 - 106 x 106 - 94 x 94 = y. What is y?

A - 2400

B - 2000

C - 1904

D - 1906

Answer : A

Explanation

  y = 106 x 106 - 94 x 94     = (106)2 - (94)2   = (100 + 6)2 - (100 - 6)2   Using formulae (a+b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab  and  (a-b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab   (a+b)2 - (a-b)2 = 4ab   ∴ y = 4 x 100 x 6  = 2400  

Q 9 - Which of the following will always divide difference between squares of two consecutive even numbers completely?

A - 3

B - 4

C - 6

D - 7

Answer : B

Explanation

  let a = 2n , b = 2n + 2  => (b)2  - (a)2 = (2n + 2))2 - (2n)2  = 4[(n + 1)2 - (n)2]  = 4(2n + 1)  Which is always divisible by 4.  

Q 10 - How many numbers are divisible by all 4,5 and 6 lying between 200 and 600.

A - 5

B - 6

C - 7

D - 8

Answer : B

Explanation

Each number should be divisible by L.C.M. of 4, 5 and 6 i.e. 60. So numbers are 240, 300, 360, 420, 480, 540. Count: 6
