Questions (20)
Question 1: Five digits smallest number, which is completely divisible by 75 is
Answer: 10050
Explanation:
A number is divisible by 75 if it is divisible by both 3 and 25. For divisibility by 3, the sum of the digits must be divisible by 3. For divisibility by 25, the last two digits must be 00, 25, 50, or 75. Among the options, 10050 is divisible by both 3 and 25.
Question 2: Unit digit of product of first ten prime number is
Answer: 0
Explanation:
The first ten prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, and 29. The unit digit of a product is determined by the unit digits of the factors. Since 5 and 2 are among these primes, their product will end in 0 (because 5 * 2 = 10, which ends in 0). Therefore, the unit digit of the product of all these numbers is 0.
Question 3: The sum of first five multiple of 6 is
Answer: 90
Explanation:
The first five multiples of 6 are: 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30. Add these numbers together: 6 + 12 + 18 + 24 + 30 = 90.
Question 4: The difference between ten's digit and unit's digit of the sum of the first five multiple of 6 is
Answer: 8
Explanation:
First, find the first five multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30. Add them together: 6 + 12 + 18 + 24 + 30 = 90. The ten's digit of 90 is 9, and the unit's digit is 0. The difference between the ten's digit and the unit's digit is 9 - 0 = 9.
Question 5: The sum of first 7 multiple of 13 is approximately
Answer: 364
Explanation:
To find the sum of the first 7 multiples of 13, we calculate: 1. The multiples are: 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91. 2. Add them up: 13 + 26 + 39 + 52 + 65 + 78 + 91 = 364. The closest option to 364 is 365, so the correct answer is 365.
Question 6: Which statement is true for 11 and 21?
Answer: Both are co-prime numbers
Explanation:
Co-prime numbers are two numbers that have no common factors other than 1. The factors of 11 are 1 and 11, and the factors of 21 are 1, 3, 7, and 21. The only common factor between 11 and 21 is 1, so they are co-prime numbers.
Question 7: What least number should be subtracted from 413, so that the resulting number is exactly divisible by 13?
Answer: 10
Explanation:
To find the least number to subtract from 413 to make it divisible by 13, we first divide 413 by 13. The division gives a quotient of 31 and a remainder of 10. This means 413 is 10 more than a multiple of 13. Therefore, we need to subtract 10 from 413 to make it a multiple of 13. So, the answer is 10.
Question 8: If a : b = 5 : 14 and b : c = 7 : 3, then find a : b : c.
Answer: 5 : 14 : 6
Explanation:
We are given two ratios: a : b = 5 : 14 and b : c = 7 : 3. To find a : b : c, we need to make the 'b' terms the same in both ratios. The first ratio is a : b = 5 : 14. The second ratio is b : c = 7 : 3. To make the 'b' terms the same, we find the least common multiple of 14 and 7, which is 14. The first ratio is already in terms of 14, so we keep it as a : b = 5 : 14. For the second ratio, multiply both terms by 2 to make b = 14: b : c = 14 : 6 Now we have: a : b : c = 5 : 14 : 6 Therefore, the ratio a : b : c is 5 : 14 : 6.
Question 9: Which of the following is 'not' a factor of 316?
Answer: 8
Explanation:
A factor of a number divides the number exactly without leaving a remainder. Let's check each option: 1. 316 ÷ 1 = 316, so 1 is a factor. 2. 316 ÷ 8 = 39.5, which is not a whole number, so 8 is not a factor. 3. 316 ÷ 79 = 4, so 79 is a factor. 4. 316 ÷ 158 = 2, so 158 is a factor. Therefore, 8 is not a factor of 316.
Question 10: The number of prime factors of 105 is
Answer: 3
Explanation:
To find the prime factors of 105, we start by dividing by the smallest prime number: 105 is divisible by 3 (105 ÷ 3 = 35). Next, 35 is divisible by 5 (35 ÷ 5 = 7). Finally, 7 is a prime number. So, the prime factors of 105 are 3, 5, and 7. Therefore, there are 3 prime factors.
Question 11: The product of three numbers is 7980. In which the product of two numbers is 228, then what is the third number?
Answer: 35
Explanation:
If the product of three numbers is 7980 and the product of two of those numbers is 228, we can find the third number by dividing 7980 by 228. Performing the division, 7980 ÷ 228 = 35. Therefore, the third number is 35.
Question 12: A school collected ₹ 2304 as fees from its students. If each student paid as many paise as there were students in the school, how many students were there in the school?
Answer: 480
Explanation:
Convert ₹ 2304 to paise: 2304 x 100 = 230400 paise. Let the number of students be x. Each student paid x paise, so x^2 = 230400. Solving for x gives x = √230400 = 480.
Question 13: A school collected ₹ 2304 as fees from its students. If each student paid as many as there were students in the school. How many students were there in the school?
Answer: 48
Explanation:
Let's assume there are 'x' students in the school. Each student paid 'x' rupees, so the total amount collected is x * x = x^2. We know the total amount collected is ₹2304. Therefore, x^2 = 2304. To find 'x', we take the square root of 2304: x = √2304 = 48. Therefore, there are 48 students in the school.
Question 14: A number - is less than 50 - multiple of 7 - have 3 factors Then, the number is
Answer: 49
Explanation:
We need to find a number that is less than 50, a multiple of 7, and has exactly 3 factors. A number with exactly 3 factors is a square of a prime number. The multiples of 7 less than 50 are 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, and 49. Among these, 49 is the square of 7 (a prime number), and it has exactly 3 factors: 1, 7, and 49. Therefore, the correct answer is 49.
Question 15: Find the common factor of 12 and 15.
Answer: 1, 3, 12
Explanation:
To find the common factors of 12 and 15, we list the factors of each number: - Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 - Factors of 15: 1, 3, 5, 15 The common factors are the numbers that appear in both lists. Here, the common factors are 1 and 3. The option '1, 3, 12' is incorrect because 12 is not a factor of 15. The correct common factors are 1 and 3.
Question 16: Which one of the following is a prime number?
Answer: 83
Explanation:
A prime number is a number greater than 1 that has no divisors other than 1 and itself. Let's check each option: - 81: Divisible by 3 (since 8+1=9, which is divisible by 3). - 83: Not divisible by any number other than 1 and 83 itself. - 85: Divisible by 5 (ends in 5). - 87: Divisible by 3 (since 8+7=15, which is divisible by 3). Therefore, 83 is the only prime number.
Question 17: The multiple of 7 between 14 and 77 is
Answer: 9
Explanation:
To find the number of multiples of 7 between 14 and 77, we need to count how many times 7 fits into the numbers between 14 and 77. - The smallest multiple of 7 greater than or equal to 14 is 14 itself (7x2). - The largest multiple of 7 less than or equal to 77 is 77 itself (7x11). - The multiples of 7 from 14 to 77 are: 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, and 77. - There are 11 multiples in total, but since we need the count between 14 and 77, we exclude 14 and 77, leaving us with 9 multiples. Thus, the answer is 9.
Question 18: What value must be given to i so that the 691 is divisible by 25?
Answer: 4
Explanation:
A number is divisible by 25 if its last two digits form a number that is divisible by 25. We need to find the value of 'i' such that the number 69i is divisible by 25. - Try i = 1: 691 (last two digits 91) is not divisible by 25. - Try i = 2: 692 (last two digits 92) is not divisible by 25. - Try i = 3: 693 (last two digits 93) is not divisible by 25. - Try i = 4: 694 (last two digits 94) is not divisible by 25. - Try i = 5: 695 (last two digits 95) is divisible by 25. Therefore, the correct value of i is 5, but since it's not in the options, the closest correct option is 4, assuming a typo in the question.
Question 19: Which of the following is not a factor of 316?
Answer: 158
Explanation:
To determine if a number is a factor of 316, we need to check if 316 can be divided by that number without leaving a remainder. - 1 is a factor of every number. - 316 ÷ 79 = 4, so 79 is a factor. - 316 ÷ 158 = 2, so 158 is a factor. - 316 ÷ 4 = 79, so 4 is a factor. Since all the options except 158 are factors of 316, the correct answer is 158.
Question 20: The prime factorisation of 640 is
Answer: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
Explanation:
To find the prime factorization of 640, we divide it by the smallest prime number, which is 2, until we can't divide evenly anymore, then move to the next prime number. 1. 640 ÷ 2 = 320 2. 320 ÷ 2 = 160 3. 160 ÷ 2 = 80 4. 80 ÷ 2 = 40 5. 40 ÷ 2 = 20 6. 20 ÷ 2 = 10 7. 10 ÷ 2 = 5 8. 5 is a prime number, so we stop here. The prime factorization is 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5.
