Question : 1

A number, when divided by 221, leaves a remainder 64. What is the remainder if the same number is divided by 13 ?

a) 1

b) 0

c) 12

d) 11

Answer: (c)

Here, the first divisor (221) is a multiple of second divisor (13)

Hence, required remainder = remainder obtained on dividing 64 by 13 = 12

Question : 2

If $17^200$ is divided by 18, the remainder is—

a) 16

b) 17

c) 2

d) 1

Answer: (d)

$(17)^200$ = $(18 –1)^200$

We know that

$ (x + a)^n$ =$x^n + nx^(n–1).a + {n(n - 1)}/{1 × 2}x^{n - 2}a^2 +{n(n - 1)(n - 2)}/{1 × 2 × 3}x^{n - 3}a^3+…+a^n$

We see that all the terms on the R.H.S. except $a^n$ has x as one of its factor and hence are divisible by x. So,$(x +a)^n$ is divisible by x or not will be decided by $a^n$ . Let x = 18, a = – 1 and n = 200

∴ $(18 –1)^200$ is divisible by 18 or not will depend on $(–1)^200$ as all other terms in its expansion will be divisible by 18 because each of them will have 18 as one of their factors.

$(–1)^200$ = 1 (Since 200 is even)

1 is not divisible by 18 and is also less than 18.

∴1 is the remainder

Question : 3

A number when divided by 5 leaves a remainder 3. What is the remainder when the square of the same number is divided by 5 ?

a) 2

b) 1

c) 4

d) 3

Answer: (c)

If the quotient in the first case be x.

Then, number = 5x + 3

On Squaring, the number

= $(5x + 3)^2$

= $25x^2$ + 30x + 9

On dividing by 5, remainder

= 9 – 5 = 4

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) 32

b) 2

c) 39

d) 40

Answer: (c)

Let the required number of persons be x.

According to the question, $2x^2$ = $3042$

or $x^2$ = $3042/2$ = 1521

or x = $√{1521}$ = 39

Question : 5

A number consists of two digits. If the number formed by interchanging the digits is added to the original number, the resulting number (i.e. the sum) must be divisible by

a) 9

b) 11

c) 3

d) 5

Answer: (b)

Let the number be 10x + y

After interchanging the digits, the number obtained = 10y + x

According to the question,

Resulting number

= 10x + y + 10y + x

= 11x + 11y

= 11 (x + y) which is exactly divisible by 11.

Question : 6

When a number is divided by 24, the remainder is 16. The remainder when the same number is divided by 12 is

a) 4

b) 3

c) 8

d) 6

Answer: (a)

Required remainder = 16 – 12 = 4

(because 24 is a multiple of 12.)
