When a number is divided by 13, the remainder is 11. When the same number is divided by 17, then remainder is 9. What is the number ?
A.     339    B.     349
C.     369    D.     Data inadequate
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

x = 13p + 11 and x = 17q + 9

13p + 11 = 17q + 9

17q – 13p = 2

q =     2 + 13p
17

The least value of p for which q =     2 + 13p     is a whole number is p = 26
17

x = (13 x 26 + 11)

= (338 + 11)

= 349

(51 + 52 + 53 + … + 100) = ?
A.     2525    B.     2975
C.     3225    D.     3775
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Sn = (1 + 2 + 3 + … + 50 + 51 + 52 + … + 100) – (1 + 2 + 3 + … + 50)

=     100     x (1 + 100) –     50     x (1 + 50)
2     2

= (50 x 101) – (25 x 51)

= (5050 – 1275)

= 3775.

If the number 42573 * is exactly divisible by 72, then the minimum value of * is:
A.     4    B.     5
C.     6    D.     7
E.     8
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option C

The minimum value of x for which 73x for which 73x is divisible by 8 is, x = 6.

Sum of digits in 425736 = (4 + 2 + 5 + 7 + 3 + 6) = 27, which is divisible by 9.

Required value of * is 6.

88
—-
417
352
—-
65
—-

Therefore, Required number = 9217 + (88 – 65) // Because (88 – 65) < 65.
= 9217 + 23
= 9240.
