A.     0    B.     1
C.     2    D.     4
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the number be x and on dividing x by 5, we get k as quotient and 3 as remainder.

x = 5k + 3

x2 = (5k + 3)2

= (25k2 + 30k + 9)

= 5(5k2 + 6k + 1) + 4

On dividing x2 by 5, we get 4 as remainder.

How many 3-digit numbers are completely divisible 6 ?
A.     149    B.     150
C.     151    D.     166
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

3-digit number divisible by 6 are: 102, 108, 114,… , 996

This is an A.P. in which a = 102, d = 6 and l = 996

Let the number of terms be n. Then tn = 996.

a + (n – 1)d = 996

102 + (n – 1) x 6 = 996

6 x (n – 1) = 894

(n – 1) = 149

n = 150

Number of terms = 150.

E.     None of these
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Required numbers are 24, 30, 36, 42, …, 96

This is an A.P. in which a = 24, d = 6 and l = 96

Let the number of terms in it be n.

Then tn = 96    a + (n – 1)d = 96

24 + (n – 1) x 6 = 96

(n – 1) x 6 = 72

(n – 1) = 12

n = 13

Required number of numbers = 13.

A 3-digit number 4a3 is added to another 3-digit number 984 to give a 4-digit number 13b7, which is divisible by 11. Then, (a + b) = ?
A.     10    B.     11
C.     12    D.     15
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

4 a 3  |
9 8 4  }  ==> a + 8 = b  ==>  b – a = 8
13 b 7  |

Also, 13 b7 is divisible by 11      (7 + 3) – (b + 1) = (9 – b)

(9 – b) = 0

b = 9

(b = 9 and a = 1)     (a + b) = 10.
