Hints & Solutions

1. (b) If we take 99 distinct odd numbers and 1 even
p is divisible only by 1 and p. number, we still get the product an even number.
This implies, p is a prime number. For ex. → (1 × 3 × 5 × 7 × ..... 197) × 2
Also, p > 3 So, maximum number = 99 = m
So, Prime number > 3 Therefore, (m + k) = 100 + 99 = 199
= 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 ..... Ans. d
Let's take p = 5,
then (5 + 1) (5 – 1) = 24 4. (a)
Now if p = 7, Let's make the denominator equal in each case.
then (7 + 1) (7 – 1) = 0.48 LCM of (155, 217, 62, 341) –
Again if p = 11,
then (11 + 1) (11 – 1) = 120
and so on.
or LCM = (31 × 5 × 7 × 2 × 11)
We can see a clear pattern,

1. (a) 7. (b)
540 = 22 × 23 × 5 2592 = 25 × 34
So, number of factors Sum of all even factors
= (2 + 1) (3 + 1) (1 + 1) = (21 + 22 + 23 + 24 + 25) × (30 + 31 + 32 + 33 + 34)
= (3 × 4 × 2) = 24 = (2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32) × (1 + 3 + 9 + 27 + 81)
= (62 × 121)
2. (c) = 7502
168 = 23 × 3 × 7
Sum of all factor of 168 8. (c)
= (20 + 21 + 22 + 23) × (30 + 31) × (70 + 7) 1344 = 26 × 3 × 7
= (1 + 2 + 4 + 8) × (1 + 3) × (1 + 7) Sum of all odd factors
= (15 × 4 × 8) = 20 × (30 + 31) × (70 + 71)
= (4 × 8)
3. (a) = 32
420 = 22 × 3 × 5 × 7
Number of odd factors of 420 9. (d)
= (1 × 2 × 2 × 2) 936 = 23 × 32 × 13
=8 Perfect squares factors
= 22 × 32
4. (c) So, sum of perfect square factor
396 = 22 ×32 ×11 = (20 + 22) × (30 + 32)
Number of even factors of 396 = (5 × 10)
= (2 × 3 × 2) = 12 = 50

5. (d) 10. (b)

4900 = 22 × 52 × 72 10648 = 23 × 113
Number of prime factors = 3 So, sum of perfect cubes factor
Total number of factors = (20 + 23) (110 + 113)
= (3 × 3 × 3) = (9 × 1332)
= 27 = 11988
So, composite number of factors
= (27 – 3 –1) 11. (b)
= 23 2366 = 2 × 7 × 132
So, number of factors not divisible by

and multiples of 23 less than 50
13. (a) = (1 × 33)
2 3 × 32 × 52 × 7 So, number of such numbers
= (8 × 7) × (32 × 52) = (6 + 1)
= 56 × (32 × 52) =7
Number of Factors of (32 × 52)

2a × 3b × 7
14. (d) (a +1) (b + 1) (7 + 1)
Number of factors of ap bq cr = = 8(a + 1) (b +1)
(p + 1) (q +1) (r +1) This is equals to 96
Hence, p, q and r should be of 3m, 3n So, 8(a + 1) (b +1) = 96
and 3s type or (a + 1) (b + 1) = 12
or Number of factors should be of or (a + 1) (b + 1) = 3 × 4
(3m + 1) (3n + 1) (3s + 1) type So, a can be = 2 and b can be = 3
Now, Let’s check, Least value of (a + b) = (2 + 3) = 5
49 = 7 ×7
= (6 + 1) (6 + 1) → satisfy 19. (a)
40 = 4 ×10 414 = 2 × 32 × 23

So, ab is a square of prime number
or ab can be 25, 49
20. (d)
Number of factors of 2525 = (3 × 2) = 6
18 = 2 × 32
And same goes with 4949
Number of factors = (2 × 3) = 6
So, number of factors = 6
Product of all factors of 18

16. (192) = (18 ) 2
14 = 2 × 7 or 14 × 1
= 183
To get the smallest number, we will take smallest

or N(say) = 26 × 3
21. (b)
It has number of factors
17017 = 7 × 11 × 13 × 17

22. (d) = 10
64112 = (26)112 = 2672 If c = 3
and 64120 = (26)120 = 2720 Then, for 53 × 2a × 35 < 1000
multiple of 2672 and factor of 2720 a and b can be 1 and 1
= 2672, 2673, 2674…..2720 So, N = 750
Number of such numbers If c = 2
= (720 – 672) +1 then, 52 × 2a × 3b <1000
= 48 + 1 or 2a × 3b < 40
= 49 a can be = 3 and b = 1
So, N = 600
23. (c) If c = 1
We know that triangular number is a number, which Then, 5 × 2a × 3b < 1000
can be expressed as the sum of consecutive natural or 2a × 3b < 200
numbers starting with 1, a can be 6 and b = 1
So, 1 + 2 + ……. + K < 100 So, N = 960
(say)
Clearly N is maximum at 960
13 (13 + 1) So, greatest factor of N which is multiple of 10 is
At, k = 13, <2
2 960
or 91 < 100,
So, the number is 91 26. (c)
91 = 7 × 13 Given, A = 216 × 531
Number of factors So, A2 = 216 × 2 × 531×2
= (2 × 2) = 232 × 562
=4 To divide A2, number less than A should only
contain 2, 5 or both as prime factor.
24. (55) or number of such factors
18 = 2 × 32 = (16 + 1) × ( 31 + 1)  − 1
Factors of 18 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
= (17 × 32) – 1
If we take, 3 and 6 (close the each other)
= 543
then P = a2 × b5
(say a and b are the two prime factors)
27. (a)
or P2 = [a2 × b5]2
We have N = ap × bq × cr
= a4 × 510
And, (p + 1) (q + 1) (r + 1) = 8
Number of factors of P2
This is only possible when p = q = r = 1.
= (4 + 1) (10 + 1)
So, N = a × b × c
= (5 × 11)
As, a, b and c are prime number
= 55
so, a can be 2, b can be 3 and c can be 5.
Only 2, 3 and 5 satisfy the criteria) of their sum = 10
25. (a)
Therefore, N = (2 × 3 × 5) = 30
Three least possible prime numbers are
= 2, 3 and 5
28. (b)
So, N = 2a ×3b × 5c
Maximum number of prime factor that can be used
(Let a, b and c are the power)
simultaneously is (2, 3), (5, 2, 3) and (7, 2, 3)
Also N < 1000
So, if the number is N
or 1000 > 2a × 3b × 5c
Then, N = 2a × 3b × 5c
product of least and highest prime factors
At a = 2, b = 1, c = 1
=2×5
We get N = 60,

If N = 2a × 3b × 7c so, it becomes 214 ×311

Then at a = 2, b = 1, c= 7 Number of perfect cubes factor
We get N = 84 = (14 + 1) × (11 + 1)  − 1
If N = 2a × 3b
= (15 × 12) – 1
Then at a = 5, b = 1, we get
= (180 – 1)
N = 96
= 179
Also, at a = 3, b = 2, we get
N = 72
30. (c)
If N = 2a × 3b × 5c
Let the number is N,
Then at a = 1, b = 2, c = 1,
So, N = 2a × 3b × 7c
N = 90
Given, (a + 1) × (b + 1) × (c +1) = 20
For all these numbers,
Factor of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20.
number of factors = 12 (highest possible)
If c = 1, then
Therefore, ΣN = (60 + 84 + 96 + 72 + 90)
(a + 1) × (b + 1) = 10
= 402
If b = 1, then
(a + 1) = 5
29. (d)
So, a = 4
For factor to be perfect cube,
Least value of N
It should be of the form

To determine the number of 1s in the binary
equivalent of the decimal number 3648, we need to 23. (c)
convert 3648 to binary representation and count the Smallest 3 digit numbers in base 8 is
occurrences of 1. 1.82 + 0.81 + 0.1 = 64
Let's convert 3648 to binary: Largest 3 digit number in base 8 is
3648 ÷ 2 = 1824 remainder 0 7.82 +7.81 + 7.1 = 448 + 56 + 7 = 511
1824 ÷ 2 = 912 remainder 0 Smallest 3 digit numbers in base 12 is
912 ÷ 2 = 456 remainder 0 1.122 + 0.121 + 0.1 = 144
456 ÷ 2 = 228 remainder 0 Largest 3 digit number in base 12 is
228 ÷ 2 = 114 remainder 0 11.122 + 11.121 + 11.1 = 1727
114 ÷ 2 = 57 remainder 0 Therefore, 3 digit numbers in base 10 which are
57 ÷ 2 = 28 remainder 1 also 3 digit numbers in base 8 and base 12 are from
28 ÷ 2 = 14 remainder 0 144 to 511.
14 ÷ 2 = 7 remainder 0 Total numbers = 511 – 144 + 1 = 368
7 ÷ 2 = 3 remainder 1
3 ÷ 2 = 1 remainder 1 24. (b)
1 ÷ 2 = 0 remainder 1 To find the value of x in the equation 266(base x) +
The binary representation of 3648 is 476(base x) = 753(base x), we need to determine

Now, let's count the number of 1s in this binary To simplify the equation, we can convert each
representation: number to base 10 and then solve for x.
There are a total of 4 occurrences of 1 in the binary Let's convert the numbers to base 10:

Therefore, the number of 1s in the binary equivalent 476(base x) = 4x2 + 7x + 6
of the decimal number 3648 is 4. 753(base x) = 7x2 + 5x + 3
Now, we can rewrite the equation in base 10:
22. (a) 2x2 + 6x + 6 + 4x2 + 7x + 6 = 7x2 + 5x + 3
To find the sum of all the digits when the decimal Simplifying the equation:
number 4897 is converted to base 3, we need to 6x2 + 13x + 12 = 7x2 + 5x + 3
convert 4897 to base 3 and then sum up its digits. Rearranging terms:
Let's perform the conversion to base 3: x2 – 8x – 9 = 0
4897 ÷ 3 = 1632 remainder 1 Now, we can factor the equation:
1632 ÷ 3 = 544 remainder 0 (x – 9)(x +1) = 0
544 ÷ 3 = 181 remainder 1 From the factored equation, we find that x = 9
181 ÷ 3 = 60 remainder 1 Therefore, the value of x that satisfies the equation
60 ÷ 3 = 20 remainder 0 266(base x) + 476(base x) = 753(base x) is x = 9.
20 ÷ 3 = 6 remainder 2
6 ÷ 3 = 2 remainder 0
2 ÷ 3 = 0 remainder 2

1. (a) Prime factorization of 17: 17
The HCF of two integers is the largest number that Prime factorization of 22: 2 * 11
is a factor of both integers. The LCM of two Prime factorization of 28: 2*2 * 7
integers is the smallest number that is a multiple of Prime factorization of 30: 2 * 3 * 5
both integers. Now, we take the highest powers of each prime
In this case, the HCF of x and y is 24, which means factor:
that 24 is the largest number that is a factor of both 17 * 11 *2* 2 * 7 * 3 * 5
x and y. The LCM of x and y is 144, which means Simplifying this expression, we get:
that 144 is the smallest number that is a multiple of 4 * 3 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 17
both x and y. The LCM of 17, 22, 28, and 30 is 4 * 3 * 5 * 7 * 11
Let a and b be co-primes such that x = 24a and * 17 = 78540

are co-primes and their product is 6 are (1,6) and and q and a and b are co-primes to each other.
(2,3). So, LCM of ha and hb is 165
Hence, only 2 such pairs of positive integers exist. h*a*b=165

This implies the number of stationery items in each p = 3*11 = 33
box should be HCF of different count of stationeries q = 3*5 = 15
HCF of 16, 108, 68, 44, 92, 60 = 4 Sum of digits of q = 6

Sum of digits of q = 6
3. (a) If h = 11, for p to be greater than q,
17 in a row --> 11 left p = 11*5 = 55
22 in a row --> 16 left q = 11*3 = 33
28 in a row --> 22 left Sum of digits of q = 6
30 in a row --> 24 left If h = 15, for p to be greater than q,
In all the 4 cases above, the remainder is 6. p = 165 and q = 15.
(17 – 11) = (22 – 16) = (28 – 22) = (30 – 24) Sum of digits of q = 6
Hence the required people = LCM (17, 22, 28, 30) If h = 33 and for p to be greater than q,
–6 p = 165 and q = 33.
To find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of 17, Here again, sum of digits of q = 6.
22, 28, and 30, we need to determine the product of If h = 55, and for p to be greater than q,

So number of factors of the number N = 4
Hence in this constraint, we are actually looking at
Now, a number having 4 factors can be only of the

In the 1st case factors are 1, P, P2 and P3

But P is prime, and so P = 4 is not acceptable.
The four pairs are :
In the 2nd case factors are 1, P, Q and PQ

Both P and Q are prime numbers in this case

a2 their summation should have been odd too.
But the summation is even (100)
6. (c) But the summation of one even and two odd primes
2ABC = 2 * 1000 + ABC = 2000 + ABC will be odd
ABC is divisible by 32, but 2000 is not So it has to be that 2 is one of the prime numbers in
Thus 2000 + ABC or, 2ABC is not a multiple of 32 question (say C) and the smallest one.
ABC2 = ABC * 10 + 2 So A and B are odd prime numbers
ABC *10 is divisible by 32, but 2 is not Then A + B = 98
Thus ABC * 10 + 2 or, ABC2 is also not a multiple Only the difference between two odd numbers can
of 32 be even.
4ABC = 4 * 1000 + ABC = 4000 + ABC So it must be that A -- B = 36, assuming A to be the
ABC is divisible by 32, and so also is 4000 greater one.
Thus 4000 + ABC or, 4ABC is a multiple of 32 (=

Hence, (x -- y)(x + y) = 4808 can be written as
11. (c)
(2k + 2 – 2k) (2k + 2 + 2k) = 4808
Let the two parts be 5x and 8y.
4k + 2 = 2404
Thus 5x + 8y = 149

or, 5x = - 8y + 149 Thus, [(k – 1)k(k + 1)(k + 2) + 1] is of the form of

The above are the pairs of natural number solutions numbers can never be divisible by 2n, where n is

Hence, there are 4 ways in which 149 can be

(x2 – 8x) 16(k – 1)k(k + 1)(k + 2)

= (y2 – 2y)(y2 – 2y -- 8) = 16(k – 1)k(k + 1)(k + 2) + 16
= y(y -- 2)(y – 4)(y + 2) Now, 16(k – 1)k(k + 1)(k + 2) + 16
Since y is even, let y = 2k, where k is a natural = 16*[(k – 1)k(k + 1)(k + 2) + 1]
number > 1 = 16*[(k2 – k)(k2 + 3k + 2) + 1]
Thus, (x2 – 8x) = 2k(2k – 2)(2k – 4)(2k + 2) = 16k(k = 16*[k4 + 2k3 – k2 – 2k + 1]
– 1)(k – 2)(k + 1) = 16*[(k4 + 2k3 + k2) – 2(k2 + k) + 1]
Hence (x2 – 8x) is divisible by 16 = 16*[(k2 + k)2 – 2(k2 + k) + 12]
Also (k -- 1), (k -- 2), k, and (k + 1) are four = 42*(k2 + k - 1)2

natural number > 1. Thus the factors of 89 are 1 and 89 only
The product of them = (2k – 2)2k(2k + 2)(2k + 4) = So, (x -- y)(x + y) = 1 * 89
16(k – 1)k(k + 1)(k + 2) Now, because x and y are natural numbers, and x >
The natural number obtained by adding 16 to them y, both (x -- y) and (x + y) are positive
= 16(k – 1)k(k + 1)(k + 2) + 16 Also, because x and y are natural numbers, and x >
= 16*[(k – 1)k(k + 1)(k + 2) + 1] y, (x -- y) > (x + y)
Now if k is odd, Hence we can say that (x -- y) = 1, and (x + y) = 89
(k – 1)k(k + 1)(k + 2) is of the form of

When a number is divisible by 18, it is also divisible (x5 – x) = (x – 1) × (x + 1)(x2 + 1)
by the co-prime factors of 18, that is 2 and 9 But (x – 1) × (x + 1) are three consecutive natural
For the number 5324661A to be divisible by 2, the numbers for any value of x > 1
digit A must be divisible by 2 So at least one of them is even, and hence (x – 1) ×
Also for the number 5324661A to be divisible by 9, (x + 1) is divisible by 2
the summation of the digits = (27 + A) must be Also being three consecutive numbers, (x – 1) ×
divisible by 9 (x + 1) is divisible by 3
From both, we can see that the only solution is A = 0 So (x – 1) × (x + 1) must be perfectly divisible by
2*3 = 6

Thus (x – 1) × (x + 1)(x2 + 1) must also be perfectly

or, 12x -- xy + 12y = 0 or, x + y = 8
or, x(12 -- y) + 12y = 0 So (x, y) = (7, 1) and (5, 3) can be the only possible
or, x(12 -- y) + 12y -- 144 = --144 pairs of natural numbers co-prime to each other

Now 144 = 24 * 32 When the difference between the numerator and the

The divisors of 1200 are its factors only

Hence number of even factors of 1200 = 30 -- 6 = Let us find the last two digits of (233 + 273)
24 So, (233 + 273)
But 1200 itself is included in that list and hence = (23 + 27)(232 -- 23*27 + 272)

Thus the number of even divisors excluding 1200 = 50 * (odd)
there are for the number 1200 = 24 -- 1 = 23 Hence last two digits of (233 + 273) = 50
Let us find the last two digits of (243 + 263)

Prime factors of 1400 = 100*14 = 23 * 52 * 71 = (24 + 26)(262 -- 26*28 + 282)
Factors of 1400 = (3 + 1)(2 + 1)(1 + 1) = 4*3*2 = = 50 * (even -- even + even)
24 = 50 * (even)
Thus the number of possible rectangles will be the Hence last two digits of (243 + 283) = 00
