Directions for questions 16 to 18: Answer the questions on the

basis of the information given below. The seven basic symbols in
a certain numeral system and their respective values are as
follows:
I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500 and M = 1000
In general, the symbols in the numeral system are read from left
to right, starting with the symbol representing the largest value;
the same symbol cannot occur continuously more than three
times; the value of the numeral is the sum of the values of the
symbols. For example, XXVII = 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 27. An
exception to the left-to-right reading occurs when a symbol is
followed immediately by a symbol of greater value; then the
smaller value is subtracted from the larger. For example, XLVI =
(50 – 10) + 5 + 1 = 46.

To make a triangle, select as vertices two dots from one row and
one from the other row. To select two dots in the top row, decide

17
which dot is not used. This can be done in three ways. There are
also three ways to choose one dot to use from the bottom row. So
there are 3 × 3 = 9 triangles with two vertices in the top row and
one in the bottom. Similarly, there are nine triangles with one
vertex in the top row and two in the bottom. This gives a total of
9 + 9 = 18 triangles.

17. D

Two distinct lines can intersect in one point whereas a line can
intersect a circle in two points. The maximum number 5 can be
achieved if the lines and circle are arranged as shown. Note that
the lines could also meet outside the circle for the same result.

or 4 points of intersection.)

38. D
The LCM of 7, 12 and 16 is 336. The closest multiple of336
to 1856 is 1680. So 1684 when divided by 7, 12and 16 leaves
a remainder of 4. This is the closestsuch number, less than
1856.Hence the number to be subtracted from 1856 to
get1684, must be the least such number. So the answeris
(1856 – 1684) = 172.
39. A
Since 899 is divisible by 29, so you can directly divide the
63
remainder of 63 by 29, so 29 will give 5 as a remainder, option
(a).
40. A
Note that the difference between the divisors and the
remainders is constant.
2–1=3–2=4–3=5–4=6–5=1
In such a case, the required number will always be [a multiple
of LCM of (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) – (The constant difference)].
LCM of (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) = 60 Hence, the required number will
be 60n – 1. Thus, we can see that the smallest such number is
(60 × 1) – 1 = 59 The second smallest is (60 × 2) – 1 = 119
So between 1 and 100, there is only one such number, viz. 59.
