When a number ‘N’ is divided by 17 the remainder is 6 , when the cube
of the number is divided by 17 what will be the remainder?

Solution:
𝑵
𝑹𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓(𝟏𝟕) = 6,
𝑵𝟑 𝑵 𝑵 𝑵
Cube of the number ( 𝟏𝟕 ) = R (𝟏𝟕) * R(𝟏𝟕) * R(𝟏𝟕)
= 6*6*6
= 216/17
= 12

R (𝟗) = 1 ……………..
There are 3 cycles so we need to divide the power by 3 if it is exactly divisible
then the answer is 1 or check remainder if remainder is 1 – first value-7,
Remainder is 2 means second value = 4.
Find ACBD?
(i) AB denotes the last two digit of 2535^125
(ii) CD denotes the last two digit of 2275^120
A. 7255 B. 7525 C. 2525 D. 2255
If the unit digit is 5.
It raised to any power unit digit will be 5.
To get the last two digit
If the power is even then last two digit will be 25.
If the power is odd check the tens digit
If the tens digit is odd last two digit will be 75
If the tens digit is even then last two digit will be 25.

Based on the above condition

AB = 75 CD = 25
ACBD = 7255

Which of the following is the positive square root of (89+12√55)

A. √11+2√5
B. 2√11+√5
C. 3√11+2√5
D. 2√11+3√5
Which of the following is the positive square root of (89+12√55)

A. √11+2√5
B. 2√11+√5
C. √11+√5
D. 2√11+3√5

89 + 12 55 = (𝑎 + 𝑏)2
2𝑎𝑏 = 12 55
𝑎𝑏 = 6 55
𝑎𝑏 = 2 × 3 × 11 × 5

From the options we can say ,

(2√11+3√5)(2√11+3√5) = 89+12 √55
Answer :
2√11+3√5
If p,q are real and rational, then what is the quadratic equation , one of
whose roots is (p+q√2)?
A. x2-2px+p2-2q2 = 0
B. x2+2px+p2-2q2 = 0
C. x2-2px-p2-2q2 = 0
D. x2-2px+p2+2q2 = 0

If (p+q√2) is one of the root other root will be (p-q√2)

Sum of the roots = 2p
Product of the roots = p2-2q2
The quadratic equation will be
x2-2px+p2-2q2 = 0 (option A)
What is the remainder when the sum
(1!)1 + (2!)2 + (3!)3+..………………..+(1152!)1152 is divided by 1152?

Solution:
1152 = 576 * 2 = 24*24*2
By using the addition property of remainder we can find the remainder separately for the numbers to
find the pattern
𝟏 𝟒
1! = 1 => 𝟏𝟏𝟓𝟐 -- remainder 1 2! = 22 => 𝟏𝟏𝟓𝟐 -- remainder 4
𝟔∗𝟔∗𝟔 𝟐𝟒∗𝟐𝟒∗𝟐𝟒∗𝟐𝟒
3! = 63 => --remainder 216 4! = 244 => --- remainder 0
𝟏𝟏𝟓𝟐 𝟐𝟒∗𝟐𝟒∗𝟐
𝟏𝟐𝟎∗𝟏𝟐𝟎∗𝟏𝟐𝟎∗𝟏𝟐𝟎∗𝟏𝟐𝟎
5! =1205 => -- remainder 0………………………………………………..
𝟏𝟏𝟓𝟐
…………………………. 1152! The remainder will be 0 only. The remainder will be = 1+4+216
= 221
Find the total number of divisors of 10!?

Prime factorization
= 10×9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1
= 2^8× 3^4 × 5^2 ×7^1
Therefore
(8+1) × (4+1) × (2+1) × (1+1) = 9 × 5 × 3 × 2 = 270
If log 2 = 0.30103, the number of digits in 2^64 is:

Solution:
To find the number of digits in higher power using log
first apply log and find the corresponding logarithmic value Let that be
N.
N will be in the form = x.######
To find the number of digits just add 1 to x.

So based on that
64 log 2 = 64 * 0.30103
= 19.26592
So number of digits = 19+1 = 20

The digits of a three-digit number A are written in the reverse order to
form another three-digit number B. If B > A and B-A is perfectly divisible
by 7, then which of the following is necessarily true?
A. 100 < A < 299 B. 106 < A < 305 C. 112 < A < 311
D. 118 < A < 317

Solution:
Let the three digit number be xyz which is A = 100 x + 10 y + z
When the three digit number is reversed B = 100 z + 10 y + x
B – A = 99z – 99x = 99 (z-x)
since 99 is not divisible by 7 (Z-X) has to be divisible by 7
so the possible value of Z and X will be = 8-1 =7 or 9-2 = 7
So minimum value is 108 and maximum value 299
Now check the options which has both the values in the set
It matches with only option B. So that’s our answer.
What is the least number which when doubled will exactly be divisible by
12, 14, 18 and 22?
A. 2772 B. 1216 C. 1286 D. 1386

Solution:
Since the number has to be divisible by 12,14,18 and 22
LCM (12,14,18,22)
LCM = 2*3*2*7*3*11
= 2772
But the number when doubled should be exactly divisible by
(12,14,18,22)
So the number is 2772/2 = 1386
Option: D

4 logs of woods of length 5 4 𝑚 , 1 15 𝑚, 3 2 𝑚 𝑎𝑛𝑑 4 10 𝑚 are cut into small pieces, all of
which have equal length . Each piece of wood is as lengthy as possible. Each cut piece is
given to a set of two carpenters to work on something. How many carpenters are there in all
to work.

Solution:
4 woods length is converted into improper fractions
21 28 7 49
, , , since we have to find the largest length as possible
4 15 2 10
21 28 7 49 7
HCF of ( , , , ) =
4 15 2 10 60
7 21 60 28 60 7 60 49 60
So divide all sizes by
60
, we will get 4
*7 + 15
∗ 7
+2 ∗ 7 + 10 * 7
= 45 + 16 + 30 + 42
= 133 piece of wood
Each log is given to 2 carpenters so total carpenters = 133*2 = 266
If we write the nth term of the series 1,1,2,3,5, 8,…an, then what is the
average (correct upto two decimal places) of an+1/an for n being equal to 1
to 8?
A. 1.62 B. 1.65 C. 1.54 D. 1.58
The series will be 1, 1, 2, 3,5,8,13,21,34
a1 a2 a3…………………a8,a9
an+1/an
When n = 1 , a2/a1 = 1
When n = 2 , a3/a2 = 2
When n = 3 , a4/a3 = 3/2 = 1.5
When n = 4 , a5/a4 = 5/3 = 1.67
When n = 5 , a6/a5 = 8/5 = 1.6
When n = 6 , a7/a6 = 13/8 = 1.63
When n = 7 , a8/a7 = 21/13 = 1.62
When n=8, a9/a8 = 34/21 = 1.62
Average = (1+2+1.5+1.67+1.6+1.63+1.62+1.62)/8
= 1.58
In a dance class, the average age of all the students was 42.5 years. 15
students left and 9 new students joined. If the average age increased by 2
years and the total age decreased by 127 years, what was the number of
students in the class initially?

Let the initial sum of ages be ‘x’ , number of students be ‘n’

=42.5 => x = 42.5n

𝒙

After few students left and new students joined

sum of ages = 42.5n- 127
Number of students = n-15+9 = n-6, new average = 44.5

The average age of a school in a class is 21 years. If the ratio between the
number of boys and girls is 11:8 and the average age of girls is 15.5
years, then find the average age of boys.
A. 27 years B. 21 years C. 25 years D. 23 years

Let the no.of boys be ‘11x’ and no.of girls be ‘8x’

Total students = 19x

Total age of the class = 21* 19x = 399x

Average age of girls = 15.5
Sum of the age of girls = 15.5 * 8x = 124 x
Sum of age of boys = 399x- 124x = 275 x
Total number boys = 11x
Average age of boys = 275x/11x = 25 years
