    2525 × 4

    Correct Option: C

    Check through option

    303375
    =
    303375 × 4
    2525 × 4

    =

    Let the number be 10p + q
    where q < p.
    Number obtained by interchanging the digits = 10q + p
    ∴  Difference = 10p + q – 10q – p

    Correct Option: B

    Let the number be 10p + q
    where q < p.
    Number obtained by interchanging the digits = 10q + p
    ∴  Difference = 10p + q – 10q – p
    Difference = 9p – 9q = 9 (p – q)
    Hence, the difference is always
    exactly divisible by 9.

    461 + 462 + 463 + 464
    ⇒ 461 + 462 + 463 + 464 = 461 (1 + 4 + 42 + 43)
    ⇒ 461 + 462 + 463 + 464 = 461 (1 + 4 + 16 + 64)

    Correct Option: D

    461 + 462 + 463 + 464
    ⇒ 461 + 462 + 463 + 464 = 461 (1 + 4 + 42 + 43)
    ⇒ 461 + 462 + 463 + 464 = 461 (1 + 4 + 16 + 64)
    = 461 × 85
    Which is a multiple of 10.


  1. The least number, which is to be added to the greatest number of 4 digits so that the sum may be divisible by 345, is

    The largest 4-digit number = 9999

    Correct Option: B

    The largest 4-digit number = 9999

    ∴  Required number = 345 – 339 = 6



  1. The greatest number less than 1500, which is divisible by both 16 and 18, is

    LCM of 16 and 18 = 144
    Multiple of 144 that is less than 1500 = 1440

    Correct Option: A

    LCM of 16 and 18 = 144
    Multiple of 144 that is less than 1500 = 1440
    Hence required answer is 1440 , which is divisible by both 16 and 18 .
