    Let two numbers are a and b and the divisor is d .
    According to question ,

    ∴  R1 =
    a
    = 3
    d

    ∴  R2 =
    b
    = 4
    d

    Correct Option: C

    Let two numbers are a and b and the divisor is d .
    According to question ,

    ∴  R1 =
    a
    = 3
    d

    ∴  R2 =
    b
    = 4
    d

    Now ,   R =
    3 + 4
    =
    3 + 4
    = 2
    dd

    ⇒ 7 - 2 = 5 is divisible by d .
    Required divisor = 5 { ∴ d > 4 }


  1. A number consists of two digits. If the number formed by interchanging the digits is added to the original number, the resulting number (i.e. the sum) must be divisible by

    Let the number be 10a + b .
    After interchanging the digits, the number obtained = 10b + a.

    Correct Option: A

    Let the number be 10a + b .
    After interchanging the digits, the number obtained = 10b + a.
    According to the question,
    Resulting number = 10a + b + 10b + a
    Resulting number = 11a + 11b
    Resulting number = 11 (a + b)
    which is exactly divisible by 11.



  1. When two numbers are separately divided by 33, the remainders are 21 and 28 respectively. If the sum of the two numbers is divided by 33, the remainder will be

    Here , d = 33
    If two numbers are separately divided by a certain divisor (d) leaving remainders r1 and r2, then remainder after their sum is divided by the same divisor.

    Correct Option: D

    Here , d = 33
    If two numbers are separately divided by a certain divisor (d) leaving remainders r1 and r2, then remainder after their sum is divided by the same divisor.
    Required Remainder = r1 + r2 – d
    Required Remainder = 21 + 28 – 33 = 16


  1. When a number is divided by 24, the remainder is 16. The remainder when the same number is divided by 12 is

    According to question ,


    ∴  
    Number
    , remainder = 16
    24

    Correct Option: B

    According to question ,


    ∴  
    Number
    , remainder = 16
    24

    Required remainder = 16 – 12 = 4 (because 24 is a multiple of 12.)



  1. In a division sum, the divisor is 10 times the quotient and 5 times the remainder. If the remainder is 46, then the dividend is

    Given , Remainder = 46
    As per the given question ,
    Divisor = 5 × Remainder
    Divisor = 5 × 46 = 230
    And Divisor = 10 × Quotient


    Quotient =
    230
    = 23
    10

    Correct Option: D

    Given , Remainder = 46
    As per the given question ,
    Divisor = 5 × Remainder
    Divisor = 5 × 46 = 230
    And Divisor = 10 × Quotient


    Quotient =
    230
    = 23
    10

    ∴  Dividend = Divisor ×
    Quotient + Remainder
    Dividend = 230 × 23 + 46
    Required dividend = 5290 + 46 = 5336
