GAUSS CONTEST - PRIMARY LEVEL


1. Look at the following dot diagram

This pattern continues. The value of 1 + 3 + 5 + .... up to 100 terms is the number of dots
shown in the
(A) 100 th diagram and the number of dots present in it is 1000
(B) 1000 th diagram and the number of dots present in it is 10,000
(C) 100 th diagram and the number of dots present in it is 10,000
(D) 1000 th diagram and the number of dots present in it is 1000
2. Look at the rows of numbers shown below :
1 2
1st row : 1 1
2
2 3
2nd row : 2 3 3
2
3 4
3rd row : 45 6 6
2
4 5
4th row : 7 8 9 10 10 and so on ....
2
The first number in the 50 th row is
(A) 1275 (B) 1224 (C) 1276 (D) 1226
3. In the sequence 1, 22, 333, .... 10101010101010101010, 1111111111111111111111, ....,
the sum of the digits in the 200 th term is
(A) 200 (B) 400 (C) 600 (D) 40000
4. How many two digit numbers greater than 10 are there, which are divisible by 2 and 5 but
not by 4 or 25 ?
(A) 3 (B) 12 (C) 5 (D) 2
5. The number of 3 digit even numbers that can be written using the digits 0, 3, 6 without
repetition is
(A) 6 (B) 3 (C) 4 (D) 2
6. In the sequence of numbers 1, 2, 11, 22, 111, 222, .... the sum of the digits in the 999 th
term is
(A) 999 (B) 1998 (C) 500 (D) 1000
7. When 1000 single digit non-zero numbers are added, the units place is 5. The maximum
carry over in this case is
(A) 495 (B) 895 (C) 899 (D) 995
8. You can writ e the number 1 using 5 and 7 and by addition and subtract ion as
5 + 5 + 5 – 7 – 7 = 1 (or) 7 + 7 + 7 – 5 – 5 – 5 – 5 = 1 and so on. But using 3 fives and
2 sevens is the best ways as we are using totally 5 numbers, whereas in the second
example, we use 7 numbers. Using the above method, if 1 is written using the digits 2’s
and 5’s only, the minimum number of times 2’s and 5’s are used is
(A) three 2’s and one 5 (B) three 5’s and seven 2’s
(C) thirteen 2’s and five 5’s (D) two 2’s and one 5
9. 4ab5 is a four digit number divisible by 55 where a, b are unknown digits. Then b – a is
(A) 1 (B) 4 (C) 5 (D) 0
10. In the Fee - Vee land, the numbers are written as follows :
....
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 13

then represents
(A) 7 (B) 9 (C) 14 (D) 21
