Question :6

If the fractions $2/5, 3/4, 4/5, 5/7$ and $6/11$ are arranged in ascending order of their values, which one will be the fourth ?

Answer: (a)

Decimal equivalent of given fractions:

$2/5 = 0.4; 3/4 = 0.75; 4/5 = 0.8;$

$5/7 =0.714; 6/11 = 0.545$

Clearely, 0.4 < 0.545 < 0.714 < 0.75 < 0.8

∴ $2/5 < 6/11 < 5/7 < 3/4 < 4/5$

Question :7

A number is successively divided by 5,6,8; leaving remainders 3, 4, 7 respectively. What will be the remainders if the order of divisors be reversed ?

Answer: (d)

Complete remainder = $d_1 d_2 r_ 3 + d_1 r_2 + r_1$

= 5 × 6 × 7 + 5 ×4 + 3 = 233.

Dividing 233, by reversing the divisors

i.e. by 8, 6, 5; respective remainders are 1, 5, 4.

Question :8

What would be the sum of 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + ....... up to 15th term?

Answer: (a)

The sum forms A.P.

First term (a) = 1

Common difference (d)= 2

Sum of 15 term = $n/2(2a + (n - 1)d)$

Sum = $15/2(2 × 1 + (15 - 1)2) = 15/2 × 30 225$

Question :9

Find the HCF of $(3^125 – 1)$ and $(3^35 – 1)$.

Answer: (c)

The solution of this question is based on the rule that:

The HCF of $(a^m – 1)$ and $(a^n – 1)$ is given by $(a^\text"HCF of m, n" –1)$

Thus, in this question the answer is : $(3^5 – 1)$.

Since 5 is the HCF of 35 and 125.

Question :10

Unit place digit in the product of first 40 odd natural number is

Answer: (a)

Product of first 40 odd natural number

= 1 . 3 . 5 .7 . 9 . ............ 79.

= 15 .(7 .9 ............. 79)

= 15 × an odd number

So there will be 5 at unit place.

So answer is 5.
