Engineering s one ofthe most chosen graduation fields, choosing
to become an engineer after high school is usually a matter of
interest but this eventually develops into "the purpose of being
{an engineer” and then a student thinks of cracking various
‘competitive exams like ESE, GATE, PSUs exams, and other
state engineering services exams. With the objective
nature ofthese competitive exams and with increasing
‘competition, it becomes necessary for the student to
study and practice every topicandalso get acclimatize
with the style of questions asked in the exam.
Studying engineering in university is one aspect but studying to crack different prestigious
competitive exams requires altogether different strategies, crystal clear concepts and
rigorous practice of previous years questions. Every student can achieve great results through
proper guidance and exam-otiented study material, and hence we have come up with this,
book covering al the previous years’ questions. This book will help aspirants to develop an
understanding of important and frequently asked areas in the exam and will also help in
strengthening concepts. MADE EASY Team has put sincere efforts in framing accurate and
detailed explanations fr allthe previous years questions. The explanation provided for each
question is not only question specific but it will also give insight on the concept as a whole
Which will beneficial for the student from the exam point of view tohandle similar questions.
All the previous years’ questions are segregated subject wise and further, they have been
‘categorized topic-wise for easy learning and this certainly assists aspirants to solve all
previous years questions ofa particular area in one place. I would like to acknowledge the
efforts of the entire MADE EASY team who worked hard to solve previous years’ questions
with accuracy. Ihope this book will sand up to the expectations of aspirants and my desire
toserve the student community by providing the best study material will get accomplished.

Prime Number & Composite Numbers
Prime Numbers
Number which are perfectly divisible either by 1 or
by itself only ate called prime numbers. 25 prime
umber are there which are less than 100. 2is the
only even prime number All prime numbers greater
than § can be expressed as (6K * 1) (K © N) form
butall the numbers inform of (6K = 1) form are not
necessarily prime
‘Composite Numbers
Allthe numbers which can be factorzed into muttiple
prime numbers are called composite number.
Number (1) one is neither prime nor composi
How to check whether given number i
not?
1. Take the square root of number
2. Consider the prime numbers, starting from 2
till the number, Take all prime numbers upto
this square roa value or nearest higher integer.
prime or 4 | © Reasoning & Aptitude
3. If number is divisiblo by any of those primo
numbers, then number is composite
Learn it by example:
Suppose we want to check, 's 629 prime or not?
‘Square root of 627 s just more than 25. Then prime
no. ti 25 are 2, 3.7.5, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29,
629 is not divisible by 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 18 but is
divisible by 17.
Hence tis not prime number
‘One more example: 179
‘Square root of 179 s more than 13 Hence weneed
to check divisibilty of 179 against 2.3, 5, 7, 11
13.17
179 is not divisible by other of those hence itis a
prime number
Test of Divisibility
1. Divisibility by 2
A number is divisible by 2 ifthe unit digit is zero or
divisiole by 2.
Eg.:22, 42, 84, 3872 etc
2. Divisibilty by 3
‘A number is divisible by 3if the sum of digitin the
number is divsiole by 3.
Eg.: 2553,
Here 2+5+543
3 is divisible by 3
= 18, whieh is divisible by 2
3. Divsibilty by 4
A number is divisible by 4 ifs last two digit are
divisible by 4)
Eg.: 2652, hore 52 is divisible by 4 so 2652 is
divisible by 4
Fg.:9772, 584, 904 ote.
Annumber is divisible by Sif the units digitin number
sOor5.
Fg.:50, 605, 405 ete,
5. Divisibilty by 6
‘A number is divisible by 6 if the rumber is even
and sum of digits is divisibio by 3.
Eg.: 4986 is an even number also sum of digit
44549 +6= 18's divisible by 3
Eg. 72, 8448, 3972 etc,
6. Divisibility bys
‘A number is divisible by 8 if last three digit of itis
divisible by 8.
Eg.: 47472 here 472 is divisible by 8 hence this
number 47472 is divisible by 8.
7. Divisibility by 9
‘A number is divisible by 9 if the sum ofits digit is
divisible by 2.
Eg. 108936 hore 14048494346 is 27 which is
divisible by 9 and hence 108936 is divisible by 9
8. Divisibility by 10
‘A number is divisible by 10 if its unit digit
iso
Eg.: 90, 900, 740, 34920 ete.
. Divisibity by 11
Annumber is divisible by 11 ithe difference of sum
of digit at odd places and sum of digit at even
places is either O or divisible by 11
Eg.: 1381, the sum of digits at odd place is 143
and sum of digital even places Is 3+1 and thelr
difference is 4~ 4 =0, so 1831 is divisible by 11
HCF and LCM of Numbers
HOF,
(Highest Common Factor) of two or more number's the
{greatest number that dvides each one of them exactly.
For example 8 is the highest common factor of 16 and
40,
HCF is also called greatest common divisior
(eoD)
LOM.
(Least Common Multiple) of two or more number is the
least or a lowest number which is exacty divisible by
each of them.
For example LCM of 8 and 12 is 24, because itis the
first number which is muttile of both 8 and 12.

Factors of Composite Number
Composite numbors aro the numbers which can bo
factarised into prime factors, or simply we can say that
composite number are those numbers which are not
prime.
For eg.: 8 is a composite number since it can be
factorised into
B= 2x 2x2
Similarly 9s also a composite number, ie
9=3%3

to count number of zeros at the end of factorial of any
number. For example

Base System
The Number systom is used to represent any number
Using a set of symbols (digits fleters). The base defines
the number of symbols in paricular base system. We
genorally work in Decimal systom as thore aro 10 digits
(0, 1,2, ...8). Some othors systems are
Binary base system: 2 symbols: 0, 1
Octal base system: 8 symbols: 0,1.2,8.4.5.6,7
Hexadecimal system: 16 symbols:
01,.28486,7.89, A= 10,8 = 11,0
D=13,E=14,
Converting any number from any Base system to
Decimal rumber system:
