  1. If two numbers x and y separately divided by a number d, remainders obtained are 4375
    and 2986 respectively. If the sum of the numbers i.e (x+y) is divided by the same number d
    remainder obtained is 2361. The value of number d is

    d = 4375 + 2986 – 2361 = 5000

    Correct Option: B

    d = 4375 + 2986 – 2361 = 5000


  1. If a and b are odd numbers, then which of the following is even ?

    The sum of two odd numbers is even. The same is the case with their product.
    ∴  a + b + 2ab = Even number

    Correct Option: D

    The sum of two odd numbers is even. The same is the case with their product.
    ∴  a + b + 2ab = Even number



  1. If the sum of two numbers be multiplied by each number separately, the products so obtained are 247 and 114. The sum of the numbers is

    Let the numbers be x and y.
    ∴  x (x + y) = 247
    and y (x + y) = 114
    ⇒  x2 = 247 and xy + y2
    = 114
    On adding;
    x2 + xy + xy + y2 = 247 + 114
    ⇒  x2 + 2xy + y2 = 361
    ⇒  (x + y)2 = 192 ⇒ x + y = 19

    Correct Option: A

    Let the numbers be x and y.
    ∴  x (x + y) = 247
    and y (x + y) = 114
    ⇒  x2 = 247 and xy + y2
    = 114
    On adding;
    x2 + xy + xy + y2 = 247 + 114
    ⇒  x2 + 2xy + y2 = 361
    ⇒  (x + y)2 = 192 ⇒ x + y = 19


  1. I multiplied a natural number by 18 and another by 21 and added the products. Which one of the following could be the sum?

    Let the natural numbers be x and y.
    ∴  Required sum = 18x + 21y
    = 3 (6x + 7y)
    Hence, the sum is divisible by 3.
    ∴  Required answer = 2007

    Correct Option: A

    Let the natural numbers be x and y.
    ∴  Required sum = 18x + 21y
    = 3 (6x + 7y)
    Hence, the sum is divisible by 3.
    ∴  Required answer = 2007



  1. The product of two numbers is 0.008. One of the number is 1/5 of the other. The smaller number is

    If the first number be x, then

    Second number =
    x
    5

    ∴  x ×
    x
    = 0.008
    5

    ⇒  x2 = 0.008 × 5 = 0.04
    ∴  x = √0.04 = 0.2
    ∴  Smaller number
    =
    0.2
    = 0.04
    5

    Correct Option: D

    If the first number be x, then

    Second number =
    x
    5

    ∴  x ×
    x
    = 0.008
    5

    ⇒  x2 = 0.008 × 5 = 0.04
    ∴  x = √0.04 = 0.2
    ∴  Smaller number
    =
    0.2
    = 0.04
