Answer: (b)

From option (c) By Hook and Crook N = 6

$N^2 - 33 = 6^2 - 33 = 36 - 33 = 3$, which is prime.

$N^2 - 31 = 6^2 - 31 = 36 - 31 = 5$, which is prime.

$N^2 - 29 = 6^2 - 29 = 36 - 29 = 7$, which is prime.

So, N = 6 only. possible value

Question :4

If the fractions $1/2, 2/3, 5/9, 6/13$ and $7/9$ are arranged in ascending order of their values, which one will be the fourth ?

Answer: (c)

The given fractions are $1/2 , 2/3 , 5/9 , 6/13$ and $7/9$

LCM of their denominators is 234

∴ ${117,78, 26,18, 26}/234$

${117, 2 × 78,5 × 26,6 × 18,7 × 26}/234$

${117,156,130,108,182}/234$

On arranging the numerators in ascending order

108, 117, 130, 156, 182.

∴ Ascending order of the fraction is

$6/13 < 1/2 < 5/9 < 2/3 <7/9$

Question :5

What is the maximum value of m if the number N = 35 × 45 × 55 × 60 × 124 × 75 is divisible by $5^m$ ?

Answer: (b)

N = 35 × 45 × 55 × 60 × 124 × 75

= 7 × 5 × 9 × 5 × 11 × 5 × 12 × 5 × 124 × 5 × 5 × 3

= $5^6$ × 7 × 9 × 11 × 12 × 124 × 3

m = 6, The given number has maximum factor of 5 is 6.
