Important rules to remember
• • a2 - b2 = (a + b) (a-b)
(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
• a2 + b2 = (a + b)2 - 2ab
• (a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2
• (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
• (a + b)2 + (a - b)2 = 2(a2 + b2)
• (a - b)3 = a3 - 3a2b + 3ab2 -b3
• (a + b)2- (a - b)2 = 4ab

Level # 01
Level # 02
1. Since 111111 is divisible by each one of 7,11 and 13, so numbers like 666666 etc. are also divisible by 3, 7, 11 and 13
as 666666 = 6(111111).
2. √2401? = √(7 x 343) = > √(7 X 7 X 7 X7) =(7X7) = 49.
∴ √(176 +√2401 ) = √(176+49) = √225 = 15.
3. √18225 + √l82.25 + √1.8225 + √0.018225
= √18225 +√(18225/100) +√(√18225/1000) +√(18225/1000000)
=√18225 + √18225/10 + √18225/100 + √18225/1000
= (135 + 13.5/10 + 1.35/100 +135/1000)= 149.985
= (135 + 13.5 + 1.35 + .135) = 149.985.
4. √121 - √.01 = √(121/100) - √(1/100) = √121/√100 - 1/√100
5. √(12 )=√2x2x3 =2√3 = 2 x 1.732 = 3.464.
6. Sum of decimal places in the numerator and the denominator being the same, we may remove the decimal places.
81 ×484 9 ×22 99
∴ Given Exp. √ .= = = 0.99
64 ×625 8 ×25 100
39 3 3 137
7. 24 = 1.625, 11 =0.27 , 16 = 0.1875 , 25 = 5.48
8. Replace * by k. Sum of digits = (4 + 2 + k + 8) = (14 + k).
Now, the least value of k for which (14 + k) is divisible by 9 is k = 4.
9. When n is divided by 4,
let the quotient = k & the remainder = 3.
∴n = 4k + 3 2n = 8k + 6
= (8k + 4) + 2 = 4(2k + 1) + 2.
Thus, when 2n is divided by 4, the quotient is (2k + 1) and the remainder is 2.

2. Let the four digits of the number be A, B, C, D. Then the number is A x 103 + B x 102 + C x 101 + D x 10° = 1000A
+ 100B + 10 C + D. The number formed by reversing the digits is D x 103 + C x 102 + B x 101 x A x 10° = 1000D + 100 C +
10B + A.
= 11 (91A + 10B + 10C + 91D). Hence as 11 is a factor of this, the number should always be divisible by 11. Ans.(4)
4. 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47. Ans.(3)
Ans.(1)
(X + Y) = 12 .... (1)and
∴ 3Y = 12 => Y = 4 ∴ X = 8.
Short-cut: Working backwards from the options will give the faster solution.
10. 1When the required number is divided by either 4 or 6, a remainder of 2 is left, hence the required number
must be in multiples of the L.C.M of 4 and 6, with ah additidrTOf-2. Since the L.C.M of 4 and 6 is 12, the required
number must be such that after dividing it by 12, a remainder of 2 is left. Out of the given options, ylVo is the
required number. Ans.(2)
Short-cut: Working backwards from the options will give the faster solution.
∴ ((X+Y))/((X-Y)) = 9/7 => ((X+Y)+ ( X-Y))/((X-Y)-(X-Y)) = (9+7)/(9-7) = 16/2 = 8/1 = 2X/2Y = X/Y ∴X/Y = 8/1
12. (3^4 × 7^3)/(2^5 × 3^3 × 〖11〗^2 ) = (3 × 7^3)/(2^5 × 〖11〗^2 ) to make it a perfect cube, (3^2 )/(2 × 11)
should be
∴ Such numbers are 210, 240, 270, 300, 330, 360, 390.

So their number is 7. Ans.(1)
15. Number formed by the last 3 digits (*24) on the right should be a multiple of 8, so that the number is divisible by
8. So the value of * is 0, because lowest value is required. Ans.(1)
16. To be divisible by 5, last digit should be 5 or 0. If 5 is the last digit it cannot be divisible by 2. Hence '0' should be
the last digit.
10000 + (99 - 1) = 10098 is the smallest 5 digit number perfectly divisible by 99. Ans.(3)
19. Let the two numbers be 'x' and 'y' respectively. Hence, we get,
x2 - y2 = 228 and (x - y) = 6. Therefore ( x + y) = 38. Solving two equations, we get, x = 22 and y = 16.
21. Let the required number be 'N'. Thus, we get, (N - 636) = 2/5 N
22. Required. We know that 242 = 576. Thus, 2.42 = 5.76 and all other values would be negligible. Thus, the sum
total would be close to 580. Ans.(3)
23. (X-Y)/(X+Y) = ((X ⁄Y )- 1)/((X ⁄Y)+ 1) = ((3 ⁄5 )- 1)/((3 ⁄5)+ 1) = (((3-5))⁄5)/(((3+5))⁄5) = -1/4 . Ans .(1)
The unit place in 768 x 73 = 3. Similarly, we can see that the unit place in 659 is 6.
The unit place in(771 x 659 x 365) is the unit place in the product.
=>(3x 6 x 3) = 4. Ans.(3)
