 ∴ Required remainder = Remainder obtained on dividing 18 by 17 = 1Correct Option: DHere, the first divisor (289) is a multiple of second divisor (17). 
 ∴ Required remainder = Remainder obtained on dividing 18 by 17 = 1

 ∴ Required remainder
 = Remainder obtained on dividing 45 by 17 = 11Correct Option: BThe no. is of the form (425x + 45) First divisor (425) is multiple of second divisor (17). 
 ∴ Required remainder
 = Remainder obtained on dividing 45 by 17 = 11

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum LCM of 4, 5 and 6 = 60 
 Quotient on dividing 800 by 60 = 13
 Quotient on dividing 400 by 60 = 6
 ∴ Required answer = 13 – 6 = 7
 Method 2 :
 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
 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 = 7Correct Option: ALCM of 4, 5 and 6 = 60

 33 = 27, 34 = 81
 i.e. the unit’s digit = odd number
 ∴ Hence, both numbers are divisible by 2.Correct Option: A31 = 3, 32 = 9, 
 33 = 27, 34 = 81
 i.e. the unit’s digit = odd number
 ∴ Hence, both numbers are divisible by 2.
-  A fraction becomes 9/11, if 2 is added to both the numerator and the denominator. If 3 is added to both the numerator and the denominator it becomes 5/6. What is the fraction ?

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum If the first part be x, then second part = 37 – x. 
 ∴ x × 5 + (37 – x) 11 = 227
 ⇒ 5x + 407 – 11x = 227
 ⇒ 6x = 407 – 227 = 180
 ⇒ x = 30
 ∴ Second part = 7Correct Option: DIf the first part be x, then second part = 37 – x. 
 ∴ x × 5 + (37 – x) 11 = 227
 ⇒ 5x + 407 – 11x = 227
 ⇒ 6x = 407 – 227 = 180
 ⇒ x = 30
 ∴ Second part = 7
