Answer: Option C. -> 34
:
C
Go from answer options. The numbers are 30, 32, 34, 36 and 38. Only 34 satisfies these conditions.
Question 12. S=1×6+2×7+3×8+...............+15×20, what is the value of S?
  1.    1841
  2.    1840
  3.    2871
  4.    2870
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1840
:
B
Tn=n(n+5)=n2+5n
Sn=Tn=n2+5n
=n(n+1)(2n+1)6+5×n(n+1)2; Put n = 15
Sn= 1840
Question 13. If 5y5(y1)=100, then what is the value of (3y)y?
  1.    256
  2.    343
  3.    216
  4.    729
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 729
:
D
5y5y5=100;5y(115)=52×4;5y(45)=52×4
5(y1)×4=52×4;y1=2;y=3. Answer is (3y)y=(9)3=729.
Question 14. A number when divided by 247 leaves a remainder 91. What will be the remainder if the number is divided by 19?
  1.    12
  2.    17
  3.    15
  4.    18
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 15
:
C
Conventional Solution: -Let the number be N
N = 247K + 91
247 is divisible by 19.
If N is divide by 19. Remainder will be 91 – 76 = 15.
Alternate solution :
247 is divisible by 19. The first number ,N would be 247+91 = 338. 338 when divided by 19 gives remainder 15.
Question 15. Parliament of India has 250 MPs. Each of them drink 25 cans of cold drinks per day. The cupboard in the canteen inside the parliament has “a” rows and “a” columns for storing cans of cold drinks. If in each row, we can put only 1000 cans of cold drinks. The cans will last for (Maximum) :-
  1.    160
  2.    150
  3.    140
  4.    200
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 160
:
A
Solution:
Total number of cans =1000×1000=1,00,0000
Daily consumption of cans =250×25=6250
The number of days, that the cans will last =1,00,00006250=160.
Question 16. What is the largest power of 2 that divides 2500+10501?
  1.    2501
  2.    2500
  3.    2499
  4.    2502
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2500
:
B
2500(1+2×5501Odd). Hence, 2500 is the answer.
Question 17. If ab×cd=3337 and ba×cd=799, find the value of (ab+cd) given that ab, ba and cd are all two digit positive integers.
  1.    117
  2.    118
  3.    119
  4.    65
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 118
:
B
1st Method: - 71×47=3337 and 17×47=799, so ab+cd=118 (Option b).
2nd Method: - Odd × Odd = Odd and Odd + Odd = Even.
From the question we can conclude that all the four numbers are odd numbers. So the required answer has to be even, only option (b) is even.
Question 18. What is the numerical value of F?
  1.    3
  2.    5
  3.    6
  4.    Can't be determined
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Can't be determined
:
D
Option D :
The value of F = 5 or 3; so, we can’t determine exact value of F. Answer is can’t be determined
Question 19. When (11111+511111) is divided by 4, what is the remainder?
  1.    0
  2.    1
  3.    2
  4.    3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 0
:
A
(11111)4+5111114=34+(4+1)111114=34+14=44. Thus the required remainder is 0.
Question 20. What is the numerical value of M+F?
  1.    8
  2.    10
  3.    9
  4.    Can't be determined. 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 8
:
A
Option A.
Given that the combined average is M+F, hence
(M+F)=(2MF+42){(M+F)+1}
Or (M+F)2+(M+F)=2MF+42
Or M2+F2+M+F=42
Or M(M+1)+F(F+1)=42, since M and F are integers, there is only one possibility that M(M+1) =12 or 30 and F(F+1) =30 or 12. Hence M can be 3 or 5 and F can be 5 or 3. So the sum of M and F is 8. Thus option (a).
