Question : 1

A student was asked to divide a number by 6 and add 12 to the quotient. He, however, first added 12 to the number and then divided it by 6, getting 112 as the answer. The correct answer should have been ?

a) 124

b) 122

c) 118

d) 114

Answer: (b)

Let the number be p.

According to the question,

∴ $\text"p + 12"/6 = 112$

⇒   p + 12 = 672

⇒   p = 672 – 12 = 660

∴  Correct answer = $\text"600"/6 = 112$

 

Correct answer =  110 + 12 = 122

Question : 2

A six digit number is formed by repeating a three digit number; for example, 256, 256 or 678, 678 etc. Any number of this form is always exactly divisible by :

a) 11 only

b) 7 only

c) 1001

d) 13 only

Answer: (c)

The number (x y z x y z) can be written, after giving corresponding weightage of the places at which the digits occur, as 100000 x + 10000y + 1000z + 100x + 10y + z

= 100100x + 10010y + 1001z

= 1001 (100x + 10y + z)

Since 1001 is a factor, the number is divisible by 1001.

7 × 11 × 13 = 1001

As the number is divisible by 1001, it will also be divisible by all three namely, 7, 11 and 13 and not by only one of these because all three are factors of 1001.

So, the answer is 1001.

Question : 3

In a division sum, the divisor is 10 times the quotient and 5 times the remainder. If the remainder is 46, then the dividend is

a) 4306

b) 4236

c) 5336

d) 4336

Answer: (c)

Divisor = 5 × Remainder = 5 × 46 = 230

Quotient = $230/10$ = 23

∴ Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

= 230 × 23 + 46

= 5290 + 46 = 5336

Question : 4

Each member of a picnic party contributed twice as many rupees as the total number of members and the total collection was 3042. The number of members present in the party was ?

a) 2

b) 32

c) 40

d) 39

Answer: (d)

Let the total number of members be X.

Then, each member's contribution =Rs. 2X

Given, X × 2X = 3042

⇒ 2X= 3042

⇒ X= 1521

⇒ X = 39

Question : 5

A number when divided by 91 gives a remainder 17. When the same number is divided by 13, the remainder will be ?

a) 0

b) 4

c) 6

d) 3

Answer: (b)

Here, the first divisor (91) is a multiple of the second divisor (13).

∴ Required remainder = Remainder obtained on dividing 17 by 13

⇒ 17 = ( 13 × 1 ) + 4

Hence Required remainder = 4

Question : 6

The greatest common divisor of 33333 + 1 and 33334 + 1 is ?

a) 2

b) 1

c) 33333 + 1

d) 20

Answer: (c)
