= 14962
= (1500-4)2
= 15002 + 42 - 2 x 1500 x 4
= 2250000 + 16 - 12000
= 2238016

We've used following formula here:

(a-b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab.

= 16072
= (1600+7)2
= 16002 + 72 + 2 x 1600 x 7
= 2560000 + 49 +22400
= 2582449

We've used following formula here:

= (596 + 104) x (596 - 104)
= 700 x 492
= 344400

We've used following formula here:

a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b).

Explanation

93 x 93 + 73 x 73 - 2 x 93 x 73
= (93 - 73)2
= (20)2
= 400

We've used following formula here:

(a - b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab.

Q 12 - Which of the following is the output of (578 x 578 x 578 + 432 x 432 x 432) / (578 x 578 - 578 x 432 + 432
x 432) ?

A - 2000

B - 4000

C - 3000

D - 1000

Answer - D

Explanation

(578 x 578 x 578 + 432 x 432 x 432) / (578 x 578 - 578 x 432 + 432 x 432)
Let's have a = 578, b = 432

Now expression is (a3 + b3 ) / (a2 - ab + b2 )


= a + b
= 578 + 432
= 1000

We've used following formula here:

a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 - ab + b2 ).

Q 13 - Which of the following is the output of (141 x 141 x 141 - 58 x 58 x 58) / (141 x 141 + 141 x 58 + 58 x 58)
?

A - 83

B - 100

C - 90

D - 73

Answer - A

Explanation

(141 x 141 x 141 - 58 x 58 x 58) / (141 x 141 + 141 x 58 + 58 x 58)


Let's have a = 141, b = 58
Now expression is (a3 - b3 ) / (a2 + ab + b2 )
= a - b
= 141 - 58
= 83

We've used following formula here:

a3 - b3 = (a - b)(a2 + ab + b2 ).

Q 14 - Which of the following is the output of 213 x 213 + 187 x 187 ?

A - 50338

B - 80338

C - 90338

D - 70338

Answer - B

Explanation

213 x 213 + 187 x 187


Let's have a = 213, b = 187
Now expression is a2 + b2
Using following formula, (a + b)2 + (a - b)2 = 2 x (a2 + b2 )
2 x ( 213 x 213 + 187 x 187) = (213 + 187)2 + (213 - 187)2
2 x ( 213 x 213 + 187 x 187) = 4002 + 262
2 x ( 213 x 213 + 187 x 187) = 160000 + 676
213 x 213 + 187 x 187 = 160676 / 2
= 80338

Q 15 - Which of the following is the output of ((637 + 478)2 - (637 - 478)2) /(637 x 478) ?

A-4

B-6

C-8

D - 24

Answer - C

Explanation

((637 + 478)2 - (637 - 478)2 )/(637 x 478)


Let's have a = 637, b = 478
Now expression is ((a + b)2 - (a - b)2 ) / ab
= (a2 + b2 + 2ab - (a2 + b2 - 2ab)) / ab
= (a2 + b2 + 2ab - a2 - b2 + 2ab) / ab
= 4ab / ab
= 4

We've used following formulae here:

(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab.
(a - b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab.
Q 16 - Which of the following is the output of ((964 + 578)2 + (964 - 578)2) /(964 x 964 + 578 x 578) ?

A-4

B-6

C-8

D-2

Answer - D

Explanation

((964 + 578)2 + (964 - 578)2 ) /(964 x 964 + 578 x 578)


Let's have a = 964, b = 578
Now expression is ((a + b)2 + (a - b)2 ) / (a2 + b2 )
= (a2 + b2 + 2ab + (a2 + b2 - 2ab)) / (a2 + b2 )
= (a2 + b2 + 2ab + a2 + b2 - 2ab) / (a2 + b2 )
= 2(a2 + b2 ) / (a2 + b2 )
= 2

We've used following formulae here:

(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab.
(a - b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab.

Q 17 - On dividing a number by 342, 47 is the remainder. What will be remainder if same number is divided
by 18?

A - 11

B-6

C-8

D-2

Answer - A

Explanation

Let's quotient is a and given number be b.


b = 342a + 47
= (18 x 19)a + 36 + 11
= (18 x 19)a + (18 x 2) + 11
= 18 x (19a + 2) + 11
Thus, if same number is divided by 18, remainder will be 11.

We've used following formulae here:

Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient) + Reminder

Q 18 - What will be unit digit in (3157)754?

A-8

B-9

C-7
D-6

Answer - B

Explanation

unit digit in (3157)754


= unit digit in (7)754
= unit digit in (74 )188 x 72
= unit digit in (1 x 49)
= 9
Thus Unit digit in (3157)754 is 9.

We've used following formulae here:

Unit digit in 71 = 7
Unit digit in 72 = 9
Unit digit in 73 = 3
Unit digit in 74 = 1
Unit digit in 75 = 7
Unit digit in 76 = 9
Unit digit in 77 = 3
Unit digit in 78 = 1

So pattern is 7-9-3-1. This pattern works for all numbers. So Unit digit in
((7)4 )n ) will be 1.

Q 19 - What will be unit digit in 658 x 539 x 436 x 312?

A-8

B-9

C-4

D-6

Answer - C

Explanation

Multiply unit digits of each number.


Unit digit in 658 x 539 x 436 x 312
= Unit digit in 8 x 9 x 6 x 2.
= Unit digit in 864.
= 4.

Q 20 - What will be unit digit in 357 x 641 x 763?

A-8

B-9

C-4

D-6

Answer - C

Explanation
357 = (34 )14 x 3
So Unit digit in 357
= Unit digit in 1 x 3
= 3

641 = (64 )10 x 6


So Unit digit in 641
= Unit digit in 6 x 6
= 6

763 = (74 )15 x 73


So Unit digit in 761
= Unit digit in 1 x 343
= 3

So Unit digit in 357 x 641 x 763


= Unit digit in 3 x 6 x 3
= 4

We've used following formulae here:

Unit digit in 34 = 1
Unit digit in 64 = 6
Unit digit in 74 = 1

So Unit digit
- in ((3)4 )n ) will be 1.
- in ((6)4 )n ) will be 6.
- in ((7)4 )n ) will be 1.
