Which one of the following numbers is exactly divisible by 11?
A.     235641    B.     245642
C.     315624    D.     415624
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

(4 + 5 + 2) – (1 + 6 + 3) = 1, not divisible by 11.

(2 + 6 + 4) – (4 + 5 + 2) = 1, not divisible by 11.

(4 + 6 + 1) – (2 + 5 + 3) = 1, not divisible by 11.

(4 + 6 + 1) – (2 + 5 + 4) = 0, So, 415624 is divisible by 11.

The sum of first 45 natural numbers is:
A.     1035    B.     1280
C.     2070    D.     2140
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let Sn =(1 + 2 + 3 + … + 45). This is an A.P. in which a =1, d =1, n = 45.

Sn =     n     [2a + (n – 1)d]     =     45     x [2 x 1 + (45 – 1) x 1]     =         45     x 46         = (45 x 23)
2     2     2

= 45 x (20 + 3)

= 45 x 20 + 45 x 3

= 900 + 135

= 1035.

Shorcut Method:

Sn =     n(n + 1)     =     45(45 + 1)     = 1035.
