3. It is being given that (232 + 1) is completely divisible by a whole number. Which of the following numbers is completely divisible by this number?
A. (216 + 1) B. (216 – 1)
C. (7 x 223) D. (296 + 1)

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

 

Let 232 = x. Then, (232 + 1) = (x + 1).

Let (x + 1) be completely divisible by the natural number N. Then,

(296 + 1) = [(232)3 + 1] = (x3 + 1) = (x + 1)(x2 – x + 1), which is completely divisible by N, since (x + 1) is divisible by N.
4. What least number must be added to 1056, so that the sum is completely divisible by 23 ?
A. 2 B. 3
C. 18 D. 21

5. 1397 x 1397 = ?
A. 1951609 B. 1981709
C. 18362619 D. 2031719
E. None of these

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

 

1397 x 1397 = (1397)2
= (1400 – 3)2
= (1400)2 + (3)2 – (2 x 1400 x 3)
= 1960000 + 9 – 8400
= 1960009 – 8400
= 1951609.
6. How many of the following numbers are divisible by 132 ?
264, 396, 462, 792, 968, 2178, 5184, 6336
A. 4 B. 5
C. 6 D. 7

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

 

132 = 4 x 3 x 11

So, if the number divisible by all the three number 4, 3 and 11, then the number is divisible by 132 also.

264 11,3,4 (/)

396 11,3,4 (/)

462 11,3 (X)

792 11,3,4 (/)

968 11,4 (X)

2178 11,3 (X)

5184 3,4 (X)

6336 11,3,4 (/)

Therefore the following numbers are divisible by 132 : 264, 396, 792 and 6336.

Required number of number = 4.
7. (935421 x 625) = ?

A. 0 B. 2
C. 3 D. 5

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

 

Unit digit in (6374)1793 = Unit digit in (4)1793

= Unit digit in [(42)896 x 4]

= Unit digit in (6 x 4) = 4

Unit digit in (625)317 = Unit digit in (5)317 = 5

Unit digit in (341)491 = Unit digit in (1)491 = 1

Required digit = Unit digit in (4 x 5 x 1) = 0.
