Question 31. Findthe remainder when 10347 is divided by 3.
  1.    1
  2.    -1
  3.    0
  4.    2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 0
:
C
option (c)
Any power of 10 when divided by 3 gives a remainder of 1. Also,7 divided by 3 remainder is 1. Therefore individual remainders are 1 and 1.
Thus, 1-1=0. Answer is 0
Question 32. A number N leaves a remainder 3 when it is divided by 15. Which of the following when divided by 15 will leave a remainder 6?
I) 6N
II) 7N
III) 2N
IV) 5N+6
  1.    I and II
  2.    II,III and IV
  3.    III and IV
  4.    II and IV
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> II,III and IV
:
B
option(b)
take N=3 as 315 gives a remainder 3.
6N=181815 does not give a remainder 6
7N=2115 remainder =6
2N=615. remainder =6
5N+6=2115. Remainder = 6
Question 33. How many numbers between 1 and 500 can be expressed as a difference of squares in atleast one way?
  1.    125
  2.    250
  3.    375
  4.    none of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 375
:
C
option (c)
Numbers which cannot be expressed as difference of squares are all even non-multiples of 4. There are 250 even non-multiples of 4 from 1 to 1000 and 125 such numbers between 1 and 500 (2,6,10......). 125 cannot be expressed hence 375 can be expressed. Hence option c
Question 34. The number X4531Y, where X and Y are single-digit numbers, is divisible by 72. Then X - Y is equal to
  1.    5
  2.    7
  3.    8
  4.    4
  5.    1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> 1
:
E
If a number is divisible by 72, it is divisible by 8 and 9. To be divisible by 8, the number formed by the last three digits should be divisible by 8. Therefore, 31Y should be divisible by 8 Y = 2. To be divisible by 9, the sum of the digits of the number should be divisible by 9 X = 3. Therefore, X-Y = 1
Question 35. How many natural numbers between 1 and 900 are NOT multiples of any of the numbers 2, 3, or 5?
  1.    240
  2.    250
  3.    270
  4.    300
  5.    210
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 240
:
A
Note: This is based on the concept of Euler’s number
A number N can be written as ambn. In this case, N=900=22×32×52
The question can be rephrased as
The number of natural numbers which are less than 900 and relatively prime to it is
N=[1(1a)][1(1b)][1(1c)]
N=[1(12)][1(13)][1(15)]=240
Question 36. What is the remainder when (32540×42400×3233)+222 is divided by 13?
  1.    0
  2.    1
  3.    -1
  4.    11
  5.    5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> -1
:
C
32540 using the divisibility test for 13 ( triplets at odd- triplets at even places ) can be written as
540-32= 508. 508 when divided by 13 can be represented as 13k + 1 (i.e. when the number is divided by 13, the remainder is 1)
Similarly
42400= 400-42= 358 = 13k + 7
3233= 233-3=230= 13k + 9
(13k + 1)( 13k + 7)(13k + 9) will give the non-divisible part as (9×7×1)=63
therefore 63+222= remainder of 285 when divided by 13= -1 or 12
Question 37. If (127)8+(12)6=(x)5. Find the value of x.
  1.    230
  2.    124
  3.    340
  4.    240
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 340
:
C
Write all the numbers in base 10 and then arrive at the answer
127 in base 8=7×1+2×8+1×82=87 in base 10
12 in base 6=2×1+1×6=8 in base 10
Adding both =95 in base 10
Expressing in base 5=340
Question 38. Find the number of 4 digit numbers which are divisible by 11 or 13 but not by 17?
  1.    1133
  2.    1363
  3.    1455
  4.    1463
  5.    1123
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1363
:
B
Following are the steps while calculating the answer
4 digit numbers divisible by 11=899911=819,4 digit numbers divisible by 13=899913=692 or 693
Number of integers common to 11 and 13 (as questionis 11 or 13) =8999(13×11)=62 or 63
To subtract numbers which are common to 11&17;13&17;11,13&17
11&17=8999(11×17)=47 or 48 terms
13&17=8999(13×17)=40 or 41
11,13,17=8999(11×13×17)=3 or 4 terms
Total ( you can approximate as the answers are far apart)= 819+693-63-48-41+4= 1364
Closest answer is option (2)
Question 39. Find the 202nd digit from the right in the product of 4!×5!×6!...............71!?
  1.    1
  2.    2
  3.    3
  4.    0
  5.    4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 0
:
D
Note that 71! has 16 zeroes at its end.(You can find this out by finding the highest power of 5 in 71!)
So does 70!.
66! To 69! Have 15 zeroes at its end. Multiplication of these itself amounts to >202
Hence the 202nd digit is 0
To find the highest power of a number in a factorial
a)Highest power of a prime number in a factorial:
To find the highest power of a prime number (x) in a factorial (N!), continuously divide N by x and add all the quotients.
Eg) Find the highest power of 100!
Solution:
1005=20;205=4;
Adding the quotients, its 20+4=24. So highest power of 5 in 100! = 24
b)Highest number of a composite number in factorial
1)Factorize the number into primes.
2)Find the highest power of all the prime numbers in that factorial using the previous method.
3)Take the least power.
Question 40. N= 4! + 5!+6!.........200!. Find the last two digits of N
  1.    00
  2.    13
  3.    04
  4.    54
  5.    24
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 04
:
C
After 10!, the factorials end with 0 as the last two digits. We thusneed to find the last two digits from 4! To 9! Only
4!+5!+6!....9!= 24+120 + 720 + 5040 + 40320 + 362880 = ___04
