Question : 2

If $3/4$ of the difference of 2$1/4$ and 1$2/3$ is subtracted from $2/3$ of 3$1/4$ the result is

a) $48/83$

b) ${-48}/83$

c) $83/48$

d) ${-83}/48$

Answer: (c)

$13/4 × 2/3$ - $9/4$ – $5/3$ × $3/4$

= $13/6$ - $({27-20}/12)$ × $3/4$

= $ 13/6$ – $7/12$ × $3/4$ = $13/6$ – $7/16$

= ${104 – 21}/48$ = $83/48$

a) 18

b) 15

c) 48

d) 36

Answer: (c)

$2^{6n} – 4^{2n}$ = $(2^6)^n - (4^2)^n $

= $64^n – 16^n$

which is divisible by 64 –16= 48

A student was asked to multiply a number by $3/2$ but he divided that number by $3/2$. His result was 10 less than the correct answer. The number was :

a) 12

b) 10

c) 20

d) 15

Answer: (a)

Let the given number be x. Then,

(X x $3/2$)-(X ÷ $3/2$) = 10

⇒ $3/2$x - $2/3$ x = 10

⇒ = ${9x – 4x}/6$ = 10

⇒ 5x = 60 ⇒ x = 12

Question : 6

A number when divided by 3 leaves a remainder 1. When the quotient is divided by 2, it leaves a remainder 1. What will be the remainder when the number is divided by 6?

a) 4

b) 3

c) 2

d) 5

Answer: (a)

The least number (dividend) x is obtained as follows :

3X  
2Y-1
 1-1

y = 2 × 1 + 1 = 3

x = 3 × 3 + 1 = 10

When we divide 10 by 6, the remainder = 4
