-  216 –1 is divisible by
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum ∵ 216 – 1 = (28)2–1 
 = (28+1) (28–1)Correct Option: C∵ 216 – 1 = (28)2–1 
 = (28+1) (28–1)
 = (256 + 1) (256 – 1)
 216 – 1 = 257 × 255 which is exactly divisible by 17.
-  In a division sum, the divisor is 3 times the quotient and 6 times the remainder. If the remainder is 2, then the dividend is

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum According to question , 
 Divisor = 6 × Remainder
 Divisor = 6 × 2 = 12
 Again, Divisor = 3 × quotient∴ Quotient = 12 = 4 3 
 Correct Option: AAccording 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
-  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
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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 × 191Correct Option: DIf 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
-  When n is divided by 6, the remainder is 4. When 2n is divided by 6, the remainder is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum According to question , 
 n = 6q + 4
 And 2n = 12q + 8Correct Option: AAccording to question , 
 n = 6q + 4
 And 2n = 12q + 8
 Dividing 8 by 6 the remainder = 2
 Hence required remainder = 2
-  A number x when divided by 289 leaves 18 as the remainder. The same number when divided by 17 leaves y as a remainder. The value of y is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Here, the first divisor (289) is a multiple of second divisor (17). 
 ∴ Required remainder = Remainder obtained on dividing 18 by 17Correct Option: DHere, the first divisor (289) is a multiple of second divisor (17). 
 ∴ Required remainder = Remainder obtained on dividing 18 by 17 = 1
 Therefore required answer is 1.
