Question :6

The product of two successive numbers is 8556. What is the smaller number?

Answer: (d)

Let the numbers be $x$ and $(x + 1),$

∴ $x(x + 1)$ = 8556

or, $x^2 + x – 8556 = 0$

or, $x^2 + 93x – 92 x – 8556 = 0$

or, $(x^2 + 93) (x – 92) = 0$

∴ $x$ = 92

Alternate Method

Out of the given alternatives

92 × 93 = 8556

Question :7

A canteen requires 21 dozen bananas for one week. How many dozen bananas will it require for 54 days?

Answer: (c)

Required number of bananas

= $21/7 × 54 = 162$ dozen

Question :8

Let a, b, c, d and e be integers such that a = 6b = 12c, and 2b = 9d = 12e. Then which of the following pairs contains a number that is not an integer ?

Answer: (d)

Given a = 6b = 12c = 27d = 36e

Multiplied and Divide by 108 in whole expression

${108a}/108 = {108b}/18 = {108c}/9 ={108d}/4 = {108e}/3$

$1/108a = 1/18b = 1/9c = 1/4d = 1/3e = k$ (say)

⇒ a = 108k, b = 18k, c = 9k, d = 4k, e = 3k

So it is clear that $(a/6, c/d)$ contains a number $c/d = (9/4)$

which is not an integer

Question :9

If a positive integer leaves remainder 28 when divided by 143, then what is the remainder obtained on dividing the same number by 13 ?

Answer: (a)

Quotient = 143K + 28

Now, when same number is divided by 13.

So, we check 143 is divided by 13 or not.

Here, 143 is completely divided by 13.

Hence we divides 28 by 13 then remainder is 2.

Question :10

If x = – 0.5, then which of the following has the smallest value ?

Answer: (c)

Putting the value of x = – 0.5 in all the options.

(a) $2^{1/-0.5} = 2^{-2} = 1/4$

(b) $1/(-0.5)^2 = 4$

(c) $1/{-0.5} = -2$

(d) $2^{-0.5} = 1/√2$

So, clearly (c) is smallest.
