10. What are the possible number of combinations for the values of a and b, if the five digit number a21b2 is completely divisible by 24? a.3 b.6 c.9 d.27 e.25

ans: 24 = 3*8 since 3 and 8 are coprime, a21b2 is divisible by 3 and 8. Divisibility by 3 a+2+1+b+2 is divisible by 3, when a+b+5 = 6,9,12,15,18,21 a+6 is divisible by 8, when a+2+1+b+2 when b=1,b=5,b=9 hence the answer is 9 11. 253n 93n is always divisible by : a. 98 b. 152 c. 253 - 93 ans: 253n 93n =1252n 272n =(1252 272)( 1252(n+1)++272(n+1)) =(125 + 27)(125 27)(1252(n-1)+ +272(n-1)) =253n-93n is divisible by 152 and 98 d. All of these e. None of these

Since (25)3n-93n =(253-93)(253(n+1) + .. +93(n-1)) =253n-93n is divisible by 253-93

ence hence

12. The product of the numbers 50,51,52, 72 is divisible by which of the following? a. 23! b. 22! c. 21! d. All of these e. None of these

ans: The number 50,5172 when multiplied give us the product of 23 consecutive integers. The product of n consecutive integers is always divisible by n! Thus 50x51x x 72 is always divisible by 23! Since it is divisible by 23! Its divisible by 22! And 21! Hence D

13. Amar, Akbar and Anony eat lunch at the same restaurant every day. If Amar ordered a dosa, then Akbar also orders dosa. Either Akbar or Antony always orders a dosa, but never at the same lunch. Either Amar or Antony or both always order a dosa. If Antony orders a dosa, then Amar also orders a dosa. We can conclude that: a. Amar, Akbar and Antony always orders dosa. b, Amar and Antony some timed order a dosa, Akbar never does c. Amar and Akbar always order a dosa, Antony never does d. Amar and Antony always order a dosa, Akbar never does e. None of these ans: If Antony orders a dosa , so do Amar and Akbar, but Akbar and Antony never order a dosa at the same lunch, thus antony never orders a dosa, thus, Amar always orders a dosa. hence Akbar always orders a dos hence C 14. In order to paint a building, 4 workers are needed, The workers have to be chosen from amongst Amar, Ram, Baldev, Sukdev, Giri and Shyam. However Ram and Shyam cannot work together. Baldev and Sukdev always need to be together, but Giri is the most experienced worker and has to be one of the workers. Who could be the four that will be selected? a.Ram,Giri,Baldev,Sukdev b.Ram,Giri,Amar,Baldev c.Giri,Shyam,Bladev,Sukdev d.Giri,Amar,Ram,Sukdev e.none of the above ans: Giri in the team and as he has a problem with shyam, shyam cant be ther == ram could be one amongst the four people. Also bldev and sukdev always work together.

The four people could be Ram,Giri,Baldev and Sukdev Hence A 15. How many numbers between the largest three-digit multiple of 4 and the smallest five-digit multiple of 4, leave a reminder of 5 when divided by 7? a.1284 b.1285 c.1286 d.1287 e.1292

ans: Largest three digit multiple of 4=996 smallest five digit multiple of 4= 10000 thus the range is 996 to 10000 the least number greater than 996 that leaves a remainder 5 when divided by 7 is 999. Thus this forms an AP with a=999, d=7 The greatest number less than 10000 which is a multiple of 7 is 9996, thus the greatest number less than 10000 which leaves a reminder 5 when divided by 7 is 9994. 9994=999+(n-1)7 1285=(n-1) N=1286 hence C 16. What are the last two digits of 707444? a.71 b.61 c.51 d.01 e.31

ans: to find the last two digits of any umber taken to any power we do the following: the last two digits of 707 is 07 and power of any number follows a cycle for 7 71=7 72=49 73=343 74=2401 75=16807 it is clear that the cycle of 7 is 4 i.e. for every 4 power the last two digits become 01 707444=(7074)111=(.01)111 therefore 1 to any power gives the same out put hence D

17. In a party, all the invitees were distributed tags, labeled with the consecutive numbers starting from one. At the end of the party, chocolates were distributed such that the invitee with a tag labeled one got one chocolate, the one with a tag labeled two got two chocolates and so on. One of them got the chocolate twice. The total number of chocolates that was distributed was 1200. If each invitee got exactly one tag then what was the tag number of the invitee who got the chocolate twice? a.35 b.28 c.24 d.21 e.48

ans:nn+12+x=1200 where x n so nn+12 should be a little less than 1200. Hence n(n+1) should be a little less than 2400 Now 50x51 =2550 49x50=2450 48x49=2352 Hence n=48 and x=24 Hence answer is C 18. 2310 marbles are to be distributed equally among n children, when 1<=n<=2310. In how many ways can these marbles be distributed equally? a.5 b.64 c.32 d.27 e. cannot be determined

ans: 2310 can be expressed as (21 x 31 x 51x71x111) we know that the number of devices of a given number N(includes I and N itself)[where N=a mbncp.. where a,b,c,. Are distinct prime numbers ] is (1+1) (1+1) (1+1) (1+1) (1+1)=32 ways Hence C 19. 46n + 56n is always divisible by 41 when: a. n is a prime number b. n is an even integer d.n=1/3 e. more than one of the above is true. ans: 46n + 56n can be written as 163n+253n ap+bp is a multiple of (a+b), if p is odd hear for 3n to be odd, n must be odd or n=1/3 Hence the answer is E 20. If xyz is a 3 digit number, such that xyz2 ends in axyz, then what is (a+x+y+z), if axyz? a.21 b.13 c.18 d.24 e. cannot be determined c. n is an odd integer

ans: As the square of all the numbers ending in 5 end in 25 similarly that of 25 end in 625 and square of 625 end in 0625. Hence a=0, x=6, y=2, z=5 Implies a+x+y+z=0+6+2+5=13 Hence B Five men A,B,C,D and E work in a field from Monday to Friday. 3 men work each day and each of the 5 men work for exactly 3 days. B works for 3 consecutive days and C also works for 3 consecutive days. However, B and C work together for not more than 2 days. 2. D does not work for 3 consecutive days and on Monday. 3. A and E work together for exactly 2 days. 4. C,A and D never work together on the same day. 21.Which of the two men may not work together on any of the days?
1.

a. A and C

b. A and D

c. B and E

d. None of these

Ans: out of the five days, each of the 5 men work on exactly 3 days . therefore each of the 5 men must work with all the other four on at least one day and hence D 22. Who must definitely work on Monday? a. A and B b. A and C c. B and E d. A and E

Ans: Three men work each day . from 2 ,D does not work on Monday . from 1 B and C cannot work together on Monday i.e. either B or C work with A and E on Monday, hence D 23. If B works on Monday and D on Thursday, who with D on Thursday? a. A and E Ans: As B works on Monday .C cannot work on Monday. Since C works on 3 consecutive days, he must definitely work on Thursday. Hence Friday is the only day, which has 2 slots vacant for A and E. Since A cannot work with C and D. We have 1. Monday 2. Tuesday BAE BCD b. C and E c. A and C d. None of these

3. Wednesday BCA 4. Thursday ECD

5. Friday

AED

Hence E works on Thursday with C and D. hence answer is B 24. If B works on Friday , who other two work with him that day? a. A and D b. E and D c. C and D d. Either a or b

Ans: Since B works on Friday, ha has to work on Thursday and Wednesday. C cannot work on Friday but has to work on Tuesday and Wednesday ,neither D nor B work on Monday. Hence C must work with A and E , hence only Thursday is the slot were there is two vacant slots for A and E. 3 slots remain vacant one each on Tuesday , Wednesday, and Friday. Since D already works on Tuesday and Friday , he must work on Wednesday as well. A cannot work on Tuesday with C and D hence E works on Tuesday and A works on Friday with B and D and hence the answer is A 25.
