Question 71.


___________ is a factor of every number and every number is a factor of _____________.
Choose the suitable pair from the following.


  1.     2, next number 
  2.     2, itself   
  3.     1, itself   
  4.     1, next number 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1, itself   
:
C

1 is an exact divisor of all the numbers. Also, any number is divisible by itself.
Therefore, 1 is a factor of every number and e
very number is a factor of itself.


Question 72.


A perfect number is:


  1.     a number whose sum of factors is equal to twice the number.
  2.     a number whose sum of its digits is equal to the product of its digits.
  3.     a number whose sum of  factors is equal to thrice the number.
  4.     a number which is co-prime to every other number.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> a number whose sum of factors is equal to twice the number.
:
A

A perfect number is a number for which the sum of all its factors is equal to twice the number.


For example, 6 is a perfect number since the sum of its factors 1, 2, 3 and 6 is 12 i.e. twice of 6.
Perfect numbers are also defined as those numbers that equal the sum of all their factors including 1 but excluding the number itself.
Taking the same example of 6: sum of its factors excluding the number itself i.e 6 = 1+2+3 = 6.


Question 73.


Every number is a multiple of ______________ .


  1.     5
  2.     2
  3.     itself
  4.     100
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> itself
:
C

Every number is a multiple of itself .


Question 74.

  4.     5, 7, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 20, and 25
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 72
:
B

72=1×72


     =2×36


     =3×24


     =4×18


     =6×12


     =8×9


Factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 72.


Question 75.


7 consecutive composite numbers less than 100 are -


  1.     81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87
  2.     90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96
  3.     65, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72
  4.     46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96
:
B

All the numbers in the option: 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96 have more than 2 factors, hence they are all composite numbers.


Question 76.


Choose the option which contains set of prime numbers.


  1.     1, 2, 3, 5, 7
  2.     2, 5, 9, 11, 17
  3.     19, 13, 11, 7, 3
  4.     23, 29, 39, 37, 43
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 19, 13, 11, 7, 3
:
C

Prime numbers have only two factors, 1 and the number itself.


1 is neither prime nor composite. 
2 is the only even prime number. 
9 and 39 have more than 2 factors, hence they are not prime numbers.
Considering all these, the correct option is 
19, 13, 11, 7 and 3.


Question 77.


Which of the following numbers are divisible by 11 and 9 respectively?


  1.     10000001, 459756
  2.     9000001, 45975
  3.     4569874, 547952
  4.     4568947, 97455
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 10000001, 459756
:
A

To check the divisibility of a number by 11, we find the difference between the sum of the digits at odd places (from the right) and the sum of the digits at even places (from the right) of the number. If the difference is 0 or a number divisible by 11, then the number is divisible by 11.
For 10000001,


Sum of digits at odd places = 1


Sum of digits at even places = 1


difference = 1 - 1 = 0


Hence, 10000001 is divisible by 11


For divisibility by 9 - if the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 9, then the number is divisible by 9.
The sum of digits of 459756 is 36 which is divisible by 9.
Hence, 459756 is divisible by 9.


Question 78.


Composite numbers have more than _______ factors.


 


  1.     6
  2.     10
  3.     15
  4.     2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 2
:
D

Composite numbers have more than 2 factors.
For example, factors of 4 are 1, 2 and 4.


Question 79.


Which of the following is the largest two-digit multiple of 19?


  1.     85
  2.     76
  3.     96
  4.     95
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 95
:
D
19 × 1 = 19
19 
× 2 = 38
19 
× 3 = 57
19 
× 4 = 76
19 
× 5 = 95
19 
× 6 = 114
Hence, the largest two-digit multiple of 19 is 95.

Question 80.


The largest 3 digit composite number is:-


  1.     1000
  2.     999
  3.     989
  4.     949
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 999
:
B

Composite numbers are those numbers which are not prime numbers except 1. 1 is regarded as a unique number.
The largest 3 digit number is 999 and it is a composite number. (divisible by 3, 9 etc)
