    As per the given question ,
    The number is of the form (425p + 45) First divisor (425) is multiple of second divisor (17).
    ∴  Required remainder = Remainder obtained on dividing 45 by 17

    Correct Option: A

    As per the given question ,
    The number is of the form (425p + 45) First divisor (425) is multiple of second divisor (17).
    ∴  Required remainder = Remainder obtained on dividing 45 by 17 = 11


  1. How many numbers between 400 and 800 are divisible by 4, 5 and 6 ?

    LCM of 4, 5 and 6 = 60
    Quotient on dividing 800 by 60 = 13
    Quotient on dividing 400 by 60 = 6
    ∴  Required answer = Quotient on dividing 800 by 60 – Quotient on dividing 400 by 60

    Correct Option: A

    LCM of 4, 5 and 6 = 60
    Quotient on dividing 800 by 60 = 13
    Quotient on dividing 400 by 60 = 6
    ∴  Required answer = Quotient on dividing 800 by 60 – Quotient on dividing 400 by 60
    ∴  Required answer = 13 – 6 = 7
    2nd Method to solve this question :
    First number greater than 400
    that is divisible by 60 = 420
    Smaller number than 800 that
    is divisible by 60 = 780
    It is an Arithmetic Progression with common difference = 60
    By tn = a + (n – 1)d
    780 = 420 + (n – 1) × 60
    ⇒ (n – 1) × 60 = 780 – 420 = 360
    ⇒ (n – 1) = 360 ÷ 60 = 6
    ⇒ n = 6 + 1 = 7

    As we know that ,
    31 = 3, 32 = 9, 33 = 27, 34 = 81
    i.e. the unit’s digit = odd number

    Correct Option: A

    As we know that ,
    31 = 3, 32 = 9, 33 = 27, 34 = 81
    i.e. the unit’s digit = odd number
    ∴ Hence, both numbers are divisible by 2.


  1. Divide 37 into two parts so that 5 times one part and 11 times the other are together 227.

    If the first part be a, then second part = 37 – a.
    ∴  a × 5 + (37 – a) 11 = 227

    Correct Option: D

    If the first part be a, then second part = 37 – a.
    ∴  a × 5 + (37 – a) 11 = 227
    ⇒ 5a + 407 – 11a = 227
    ⇒ 6a = 407 – 227 = 180
    ⇒ a = 30
    ∴  Second part = 37 - 30 = 7



  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 .
