1. The product of two numbers is 2028 and their H.C.F. is 13. The number of such pairs
is:

A) 1

B) 2

C) 3

D) 4

Answer: B) 2

Explanation:

Let the numbers 13a and 13b.

Then, 13a x 13b = 2028

=>ab = 12.

Now, the co-primes with product 12 are (1, 12) and (3, 4).

[Note: Two integers a and b are said to be coprime or relatively prime if they have no

common positive factor other than 1 or, equivalently, if their greatest common divisor is

1]

So, the required numbers are (13 x 1, 13 x 12) and (13 x 3, 13 x 4).
Clearly, there are 2 such pairs.

2. The greatest number which on dividing 1657 and 2037 leaves remainders 6 and 5
respectively, is:

A) 123

B) 127

C) 235

D) 305
Answer: B) 127
 Explanation:

=> x2−100x+2475=0x2-100x+2475=0

=> (x-55) (x-45) = 0

=> x = 55 or x = 45

The numbers are 45 and 55

Required difference = (55-45) = 10

6. The H.C.F and L.C.M of two numbers are 84 and 21 respectively. If the ratio of the
two numbers is 1 : 4 , then the larger of the two numbers is

A) 12

B) 48

C) 84

D) 108

Answer: C) 84

Explanation:

5 respectively.

A.127

b. 132

c. 114

d. 108
Answer:A
 Explanation: Hence, make the dividend completely divisible by the divisor. This is

possible, if we subtract remainder from the dividend.

Therefore,

1657 – 6 = 1651

2037 – 5 = 2032

H.C.F. of 1651 and 2032 is 127. 127 is the common factor.

127 × 13 = 1651

Thus by adding 6, we get 1651 + 6 = 1657

127 is the correct answer.

Least value of k for which (840k+3) is divisible by 9 is k = 2

Therefore, Required Number = (840 x 2+3)=1683

17. A room is 6 meters 24 centimeters in length and 4 meters 32 centimeters in Width.

Find the least number of square tiles of equal size required to cover the entire floor of
the room.

A) 107

B) 117

C) 127

D) 137

Answer: B) 117

Explanation:

Let us calculate both the length and width of the room in centimeters.
Length = 6 meters and 24 centimeters = 624 cm
 width = 4 meters and 32 centimeters = 432 cm

As we want the least number of square tiles required, it means the length of each

square tile should be as large as possible.Further,the length of each square tile should

be a factor of both the length and width of the room.

Hence, the length of each square tile will be equal to the HCF of the length and width of

the room = HCF of 624 and 432 = 48

Thus, the number of square tiles required = (624 x 432 ) / (48 x 48) = 13 x 9 = 117

Answer:C

Solution:

Let’s say the 7 numbers are a, b, c, d, e, f and g.

Given that:

(a + b + c + d + e + f + g) / 7 = 60

(a + b + c) / 3 = 50

(e + f + g) / 3 = 70

To find: The remaining number i.e. ’d’

Solving the averages we get:

(a + b + c + d + e + f + g) / 7 = 60

a + b + c + d + e + f + g = 420

(a + b + c) / 3 = 50

a + b + c = 150

(e + f + g) / 3 = 70

e + f + g = 210

Inserting the values obtained above in the equation given below:

a + b + c + d + e + f + g = 420
150 + d + 210 = 420
 360 + d = 420

d = 60

12. If a and b are natural numbers and a-b is divisible by 3, then a3-b3 is divisible by:

A): 3 but not by 9

B): 9

C): 6

D): 27

Correct Answer : B

Explanation: If a − b is divisible by 3, then a − b = 3k, for some integer k

(a − b)² = (3k)²

a² − 2ab + b² = 9k²

a³ − b³ = (a−b) (a² + ab + b²)

= (a−b) (a² − 2ab + b² + 3ab)

= 3k (9k + 3ab)

= 3k * 3 (3k + ab)

= 9 k(3k+ab)

Since k(3k+ab) is an integer, then 9k(3k+ab) is divisible by 9

of first three is 385 and that of last three is 1001. Find the first number:

A): 5
B): 7
 C): 11

D): 17

Answer:A

Explanation: two middle numbers are common in these 2 products whose product is

equal to HCF of 385 and 1001.

HCF = 77

largest number = 1001/77 =13

smallest number = 385/77 =5

smaller one, the quotient is 6 and the remainder is 15. The smaller number is ?

A)265

B)270

C)150

D)none

Answer:B

Explanation:

Let the numbers be x and 1365+x

Then 1365+x = 6x+15

=> x = 270

12. 54 is to be divided into two parts such that the sum of 10 times the first and 22 times
the second is 780. The bigger part is :

A) 24

B) 34

C) 44

D) 54

Answer: B) 34
Explanation:
 Let the two parts be (54 – x) and x.

Then, 10 (54 – x) + 22x = 780

=> 12x = 240

=> x = 20.

Bigger part = (54 – x) = 34.

13. There are two numbers such that the sum of twice the first and thrice the second is
39, while the sum of thrice the first, and twice the second is 36. The larger of the two
is :

A) 3

B) 6

C) 9

D) 12

Answer: C) 9

Explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y. Then, 2x + 3y = 39…(i)and 3x + 2y = 30 …(ii)

On solving (i) and (ii), we get : x = 6 and y = 9.

larger number = 9

14. The difference between a two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging
the two digits is 63. Which is the smaller of the two numbers ?

A) 12

B) 15

C) 17

D) none of these answers can be determined

Answer: D) none of these answers can be determined

Explanation:
Let the ten’s digit be x and unit’s digit be y.
 Then, (10x + y) – (10y + x) = 63

=> 9 (x – y) = 63

=> x – y = 7.

Thus, none of the numbers can be deermined

15. A number consists of 3 digits whose sum is 10. The middle digit is equal to the sum of
the other two and the number will be increased by 99 if its digits are reversed. The
number is :

A) 253

B) 263

C) 273

D) 283

Answer: A) 253

Explanation:

Let the middle digit be x.

Then, 2x = 10 or x = 5. So, the number is either 253 or 352

Since the number increases on reversing the digits, so the hundred’s digit is smaller

than the unit’s digit.

Hence, required number = 253.

16. The product of three consecutive even numbers when divided by 8 is 720. The
product of their square roots is :

A) 12 sqrt(10)

B) 24 sqrt(10)

C) 120

D) none of these

Answer: B) 24 sqrt(10)

Explanation:
Let the numbers be x, x + 2 and X + 4.
 Then, x(x + 2)(x +4) / 8 = 720 => x(x + 2)(x +4) = 5760.

√x * √(x + 2) * √(x +4) = √x(x +2)(x + 4 ) = √5760 = 24√10.

17. If 2x = 3y = 6-z, then (1/x + 1/y + 1/z) is equal to

A)2

B)0

C)3

D)1

Answer:B

Explanation: 2x = 6 -z Þ 2 = 6-z/x ————-(i)

3y = 6 -z Þ 3 = 6-z/y ————-(ii)

Multiplying (i)and(ii)

2×3 = 6-z/x x 6-z/y

6 = 6(1-z/x) *6(1-z/y)

1 = (-z/x) +(-z/y)

1= -z(1/x +1/y)

1/-z = 1/x +1/y

1/x + 1/y + 1/z = 0
