397 x 397 + 104 x 104 + 2 x 397 x 104 = ?
A.     250001    B.     251001
C.     260101    D.     261001
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Given Exp.     = (397)2 + (104)2 + 2 x 397 x 104
= (397 + 104)2
= (501)2 = (500 + 1)2
= (5002) + (1)2 + (2 x 500 x 1)
= 250000 + 1 + 1000
= 251001

Which one of the following numbers is completely divisible by 45?
A.     181560    B.     331145
C.     202860    D.     2033555
E.     None of these
Answer & Explanation

Which of the following numbers will completely divide (325 + 326 + 327 + 328) ?
A.     11    B.     16
C.     25    D.     30
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

(325 + 326 + 327 + 328) = 325 x (1 + 3 + 32 + 33) = 325 x 40

= 324 x 3 x 4 x 10

= (324 x 4 x 30), which is divisible by30.

A number when divide by 6 leaves a remainder 3. When the square of the number is divided by 6, the remainder is:
A.     0     B.     1
C.     2    D.     3
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let x = 6q + 3.

Then, x2 = (6q + 3)2

= 36q2 + 36q + 9

= 6(6q2 + 6q + 1) + 3

Thus, when x2 is divided by 6, then remainder = 3.

8
D.
7
32
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b. Then, a + b = 12 and ab = 35.

a + b     =     12                      1     +     1         =     12
ab     35     b     a     35

Sum of reciprocals of given numbers =     12
35

A.     17    B.     16
C.     1    D.     2
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

When n is even. (xn – an) is completely divisibly by (x + a)

(17200 – 1200) is completely divisible by (17 + 1), i.e., 18.

(17200 – 1) is completely divisible by 18.

On dividing 17200 by 18, we get 1 as remainder.
