    According to question ,
    Divisor = 6 × Remainder
    Divisor = 6 × 2 = 12
    Again, Divisor = 3 × quotient

    ∴  Quotient =
    12
    = 4
    3

    Correct Option: A

    According to question ,
    Divisor = 6 × Remainder
    Divisor = 6 × 2 = 12
    Again, Divisor = 3 × quotient

    ∴  Quotient =
    12
    = 4
    3

    Dividend = 12 × 4 + 2
    Dividend = 48 + 2 = 50


  1. Two numbers 11284 and 7655, when divided by a certain number of three digits, leaves the
    same remainder. The sum of digits of such a three-digit number is

    If the remainder be p, then (11284 – p ) and (7655 – p ) are divisible by three digit number.
    i.e. (11284 – p ) – (7655 – p ) = 3629 is divisible by that number.
    3629 = 19 × 191

    Correct Option: D

    If the remainder be p, then (11284 – p ) and (7655 – p ) are divisible by three digit number.
    i.e. (11284 – p ) – (7655 – p ) = 3629 is divisible by that number.
    3629 = 19 × 191
    Hence, required number = 191
    Sum of digits = 1 + 9 + 1 = 11



  1. The number of integers in between 100 and 600, which are divisible by 4 and 6 both, is

    We have to find such numbers which are divisible by 12 (LCM of 4 and 6).
    Number of numbers divisible by 12 and lying between 1 to 600

    =
    600
    −1 = 49
    12

    Number of numbers divisible by 12 from 1 to 100 =
    100
    = 8
    12

    Correct Option: C

    We have to find such numbers which are divisible by 12 (LCM of 4 and 6).
    Number of numbers divisible by 12 and lying between 1 to 600

    =
    600
    −1 = 49
    12

    Number of numbers divisible by 12 from 1 to 100 =
    100
    = 8
    12

    ∴ Required answer = 49 – 8 = 41


  1. If the number formed by the last two digits of a three digit integer is an integral multiple of 6, the original integer itself will always be divisible by

    According to question ,
    Required Number = 100p + 10q + r
    ∵  10q + r = 6m
    ∴  Number = 100x + 6m, where m is a positive integer.

    Correct Option: C

    According to question ,
    Required Number = 100p + 10q + r
    ∵  10q + r = 6m
    ∴  Number = 100x + 6m, where m is a positive integer.
    Number = 2 (50p + 3m)
    Hence required answer is 2 .



  1. The value of λ for which the expression x3 + x2 – 5x + λ will be divisible by (x – 2) is :









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    (x – 2) is a factor of polynomial P (x) = x3 + x2 – 5x + λ.
    ∴  P(2) = 0 (on putting x = 2)

    Correct Option: B

    (x – 2) is a factor of polynomial P (x) = x3 + x2 – 5x + λ.
    ∴  P(2) = 0 (on putting x = 2)
    ⇒  23 + 22 – 5 × 2 + λ = 0
    ⇒  8 + 4 – 10 + λ = 0
    ⇒  λ + 2 = 0
    ∴  λ = - 2
