-  The sum of all natural numbers between 100 and 200, which are multiples of 3 is :
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Numbers divisible by 3 and lying between 100 and 200 are : 102, 105, 108, 111,...................... 198 
 Let number of terms = n
 As we know the formula
 an = a + ( n – 1 )d
 where an = Nth Term a = First term , n = Number of terms and d = Common Difference
 ∴ 198 = 102 + ( n – 1 ) 3⇒ n − 1 = 198 − 102 = 32 3 
 ⇒ n = 33∴ Sn = Number of terms = ( First term + Last term ) 2 
 Correct Option: BNumbers divisible by 3 and lying between 100 and 200 are : 102, 105, 108, 111,...................... 198 
 Let number of terms = n
 As we know the formula
 an = a + ( n – 1 )d
 where an = Nth Term a = First term , n = Number of terms and d = Common Difference
 ∴ 198 = 102 + ( n – 1 ) 3⇒ n − 1 = 198 − 102 = 32 3 
 ⇒ n = 33∴ Sn = Number of terms = ( First term + Last term ) 2 ∴ Sn = n = ( a + l ) 2 ∴ Sn = 32 (102 + 198) = 4950 2 
-  The least number of five digits which has 123 as a factor is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum The smallest number of 5 digits = 10000 
 Remainder on dividing 10000 by 123 = 37Correct Option: BThe smallest number of 5 digits = 10000 
 Remainder on dividing 10000 by 123 = 37
 ∴ Required number
 = 10000 + (123 – 37) = 10086
-  The sum of the four consecutive even numbers is 284. What would be the smallest number.
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let four consecutive even numbers are P, P + 2, P + 4 and P + 6 
 According to the question,
 P + P + 2 + P + 4 + P + 6 = 284Correct Option: CLet four consecutive even numbers are P, P + 2, P + 4 and P + 6 
 According to the question,
 P + P + 2 + P + 4 + P + 6 = 284
 ⇒ 4P + 12 = 284
 ⇒ 4P = 284 - 12 = 272
 ∴ P = 272/4 = 68
-  The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 14 and the difference between the two digits of the number is 2. What is the product of the two digits of the two-digit number ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let be the ten's digit be P and unit's digit be Q. 
 The two-digit number = 10P + Q
 (where, P > Q)
 According to the question,
 P + Q = 14 ......(i)
 and P - Q = 2 .......(ii)Correct Option: BLet be the ten's digit be P and unit's digit be Q. 
 The two-digit number = 10P + Q
 (where, P > Q)
 According to the question,
 P + Q = 14 ......(i)
 and P - Q = 2 .......(ii)
 solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
 P = 8 and Q = 6
 ∴ Required product = 8 x 6 = 48
-  The unit digit in the sum of (124)372 + (124)373 is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum As we know that 
 41 = 4;
 42 = 16;
 43 = 64;
 44 = 256;
 45 = 1024;
 As we see that
 Unit place of 41 = 4;
 Unit place of 42 = 16;
 Unit place of 43 = 64;
 Unit place of 44 = 256;
 Unit place of 45 = 1024;
 Unit digit is repeating after every 4th index number.
 Remainder on dividing 372 by 4 = 0
 Remainder on dividing 373 by 4 = 1Correct Option: DAs we know that 
 41 = 4;
 42 = 16;
 43 = 64;
 44 = 256;
 45 = 1024;
 As we see that
 Unit place of 41 = 4;
 Unit place of 42 = 16;
 Unit place of 43 = 64;
 Unit place of 44 = 256;
 Unit place of 45 = 1024;
 Unit digit is repeating after every 4th index number.
 Remainder on dividing 372 by 4 = 0
 Remainder on dividing 373 by 4 = 1
 ∴ Required unit digit = Unit digit of (124)372 + (124)373
 ∴ Required unit digit = Unit digit of (4)372 + (4)373
 as we know that Remainder on dividing 372 by 4 = 0 and Remainder on dividing 373 by 4 = 1
 ∴ Required unit digit = Unit digit of (4)4 + (4)1
 ∴ Required unit digit = Unit digit of of sum of ( 6 + 4 )
 ∴ Required unit digit = Unit digit of of sum of ( 10 )
 ∴ Required unit digit = 0
