Q1. How many 3 digit numbers are divisible by 6 in all ?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Required numbers are 102, 108, 114, ... , 996

This is an A.P. in which a = 102, d = 6 and l = 996

Let the number of terms be n. Then,

a + (n - 1)d = 996

   102 + (n - 1) x 6 = 996

   6 x (n - 1) = 894

   (n - 1) = 149

   n = 150.


Q2. A 3-digit number 4a3 is added to another 3-digit number 984 to give a 4-digit number 13b7, which is divisible by 11. Then, (a + b) = ?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:



Q3. 8597 - ? = 7429 - 4358
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

7429          Let 8597 - x = 3071
-4358          Then,      x = 8597 - 3071
 ----                       = 5526
 3071

Q5. (12345679 x 72) = ?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

12345679 x 72= 12345679 x (70 +2)
= 12345679 x 70 + 12345679 x 2
= 864197530 + 24691358
= 888888888

Q6. On dividing a number by 357, we get 39 as remainder. On dividing the same number 17, what will be the remainder ?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Let x be the number and y be the quotient. Then,

x = 357 x y + 39

  = (17 x 21 x y) + (17 x 2) + 5

  = 17 x (21y + 2) + 5)

Required remainder = 5.


Q7. If the product 4864 x 9 P 2 is divisible by 12, then the value of P is:
Answer : Option E
Explaination / Solution:

Clearly, 4864 is divisible by 4.

So, 9P2 must be divisible by 3. So, (9 + P + 2) must be divisible by 3.

 P = 1.


Q8. Which one of the following is the common factor of (4743 + 4343) and (4747 + 4347) ?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

When n is odd, (xn + an) is always divisible by (x + a).

Each one of (4743 + 4343) and (4747 + 4347) is divisible by (47 + 43).


Q9. -84 x 29 + 365 = ?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Given Exp.= -84 x (30 - 1) + 365
= -(84 x 30) + 84 + 365
= -2520 + 449
= -2071

Q10. A number when divided by 296 leaves 75 as remainder. When the same number is divided by 37, the remainder will be:
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Let x = 296q + 75

   = (37 x 8q + 37 x 2) + 1

   = 37 (8q + 2) + 1

Thus, when the number is divided by 37, the remainder is 1.
