Kendrika answered
Let the three odd numbers be x, (x + 2), (x + 4) and
The three even numbers be (x + 11), (x + 13) and (x + 15)
Then,
⇔ x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 11) + (x + 13) + (x + 15) = 231
⇔ 6x + 45 = 231
⇔ 6x = 186
⇔ x = 31
∴ Required sum :
= (x + 4) + (x + 15)
= 2x + 19
= 2 × 31 + 19
= 62 + 19
= 81

Kavya Saxena answered
If 12 is smaller number then larger number is 18
Sum = (12+18) = 30
Twice of the smaller number = 24.
The sum of two even numbers is six more than twice of the smaller number.
Therefore Number 12 satisfy both the conditions.

Preeti Khanna answered
odd numbers — x-8, x-6, x-4, x-2, x, x+2, x+4, x+6
x-8 + x-6 + x-4 + x-2 + x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 = 656
8x – 8 =656
x = 83
Even numbers — y-2, y, y+2, y+4
4y + 4 = 87 * 4
y = 86
sum of the largest even number and odd number = 89 + 90 = 179

A number is divided by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, reminder in each case is one. But the number is exactly divisible by 7. The number lies between 250 and 350, the sum of digits of the number will be

Preeti Khanna answered
To solve this problem, we need to find a number that satisfies the following conditions:
  1. When divided by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, the remainder is 1.
  2. The number is divisible by 7.
  3. The number lies between 250 and 350.
Let's start by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, which is the smallest number divisible by all of these numbers.
LCM(2, 3, 4, 5, 6) = 60
We need to find a number of the form 7k, where k is an integer, that leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 60. The numbers in this sequence can be expressed as 60n + 1, where n is an integer.
Now, let's find the first few numbers of the form 60n + 1 that are divisible by 7 and lie between 250 and 350:
  • For n = 4: 60(4) + 1 = 241 (not divisible by 7)
  • For n = 5: 60(5) + 1 = 301 (divisible by 7)
So, the number we're looking for is 301.
Now, let's find the sum of its digits: 3 + 0 + 1 = 4
Therefore, the sum of the digits of the number is 4.

The difference between the digits of a two digit number is 5. Also the original number is 18 more than two times the number obtained by reversing its digits. Find the original number.

Ravi Singh answered
Let number is 10x+y
Then x-y = 5 or y-x = 5
Now given that, 10x+y = 2(10y+x) + 18 Solve, 8x – 19y = 18
Now solve: 8x – 19y = 18 and x-y = 5. In this y = 2, x = 7
And also solve; 8x – 19y = 18 and y-x = 5. In this y come to be negative which is not possible so discard this
So number is 10*7 + 2

If the divisor is five times the quotient and six times the remainder, if the remainder is 5 then the dividend is
  • a)
    225
  • b)
    300
  • c)
    185
  • d)
    412
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Aarav Sharma answered
Let's use the formula for division: dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder
Given: divisor = 5 × quotient and divisor = 6 × remainder
Substituting the first equation into the second equation, we get:
5 × quotient = 6 × remainder
quotient = (6/5) × remainder
Substituting this value of quotient into the formula for division, we get:
dividend = 5 × (6/5) × remainder + remainder
dividend = 6 × remainder + remainder
dividend = 7 × remainder
Since the remainder is 5, we can substitute that value into the formula to get:
dividend = 7 × 5 = 35
Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 185, as it is the only option that has a remainder of 5 when divided by a divisor that is five times the quotient and six times the remainder.

Preeti Khanna answered
Let the numerator be x and denominator be y 
Fraction will be x/y 
According to the question 
(x + 4)/y = 1/3 
⇒ 3x + 12 = y    ......(1)
Now, 
x/(y + 3) = 1/6 
⇒ 6x = y + 3    ......(2)
Solving both the equations we get 
x = 5 and y = 27 
So , fraction x/y =  5/27

    85
  • b)
    136
  • c)
    129
  • d)
    97
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Aarav Sharma answered
Given:
Number of students in each row = 68
Number of rows = 40

To find:
Number of rows when the students are made to stand in the row of 20

Solution:
Let the total number of students be N

Number of students in each row = 68
Number of rows = 40

So, N = 68 x 40 = 2720

Number of rows when the students are made to stand in the row of 20

Let the number of rows be n

Number of students in each row = 20

So, N = 20 x n

n = N/20 = 2720/20 = 136

Therefore, the number of rows that can be formed when the students are made to stand in the row of 20 is 136.

Hence, the correct option is (b) 136.

    6 and 0
  • c)
    5 and 0
  • d)
    2 and 5
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Check the options in the number 10x47y
all numbers will be divisible by 5 because in end it is 5 and 0
for number to be divisible by 11, (y+4+0) – (7+x+1) should be divisible by 11
from option A, y = 5, x = 1 gives (y+4+0) – (7+x+1) as 0 which is divisible by 11

When a number is divided by 527 gives the remainder as 21. When the same number is divided by 17, the remainder will be?
  • a)
    2
  • b)
    3
  • c)
    4
  • d)
    7
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Aarav Sharma answered
Solution:

Let the number be x.

When x is divided by 527, the remainder is 21.

So, x = 527k + 21, where k is a positive integer.

We need to find the remainder when x is divided by 17.

Let's try to express x in terms of 17.

527 can be written as 17 x 31.

So, x = (17 x 31 x k) + 21

We can write (17 x 31 x k) as 527k - 10k.

So, x = 527k - 10k + 21

Now, we can see that x leaves a remainder of 21 when divided by 17 if and only if 10k leaves a remainder of 4 when divided by 17.

Let's try to find such a value of k.

10k leaves a remainder of 4 when divided by 17 means: 10k = 17n + 4, where n is a positive integer.

Solving for k, we get:

k = (17n + 4)/10

We can see that k is an integer only when n leaves a remainder of 8 when divided by 10.

Let n = 10m + 8, where m is a positive integer.

Substituting in the above equation, we get:

k = (17 x (10m + 8) + 4)/10

Simplifying, we get:

k = 17m + 14

So, for any positive integer m, k leaves a remainder of 14 when divided by 17.

Substituting in the equation for x, we get:

x = 527k - 10k + 21

x = (527 - 10)k + 21

x = 517k + 21

x leaves a remainder of 4 when divided by 17.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C (4).

The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 6. If the digits are reversed, the number is decreased by 36. Find the number?
  • a)
    15
  • b)
    51
  • c)
    24
  • d)
    42
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Aarav Sharma answered
Solution:
Let the tens digit be x and the units digit be y.
Given, x+y=6
Also, on reversing the digits, the new number becomes 10y + x, which is 36 less than the original number.
Therefore, the equation becomes 10x + y = 10y + x - 36
Simplifying this equation, we get 9x - 9y = 36
Dividing both sides by 9, we get x - y = 4
Now we have two equations with two variables, which can be solved simultaneously to obtain the values of x and y.
x + y = 6
x - y = 4
Adding both the equations, we get:
2x = 10
x = 5
Substituting the value of x in any one of the equations, we get:
y = 1
Therefore, the required number is 51, which is option B.

  • a)
    17
  • b)
    27
  • c)
    36
  • d)
    34
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Kavya Saxena answered
Let the two-digit number be 10a + b
(10a + b)/(a+b) = 3/1, 7a = 2b
And also given b = 5 + a
7a = 2(5+a)
7a =10 + 2a
5a = 10  
a = 2
b = 5 + a
b = 5 + 2
b = 7
so number 10a + b = 10x2 + 7 = 27
Solve both equations to get the number

    42
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Aarav Sharma answered
Approach:
The numbers which are divisible by 4, 6 and 8 should be the multiple of LCM(4,6,8) = 24.
So, we need to find out how many multiples of 24 are there up to 1000.

Calculation:
The last multiple of 24 which is less than or equal to 1000 is 24 × 41 = 984. Therefore, there are 41 multiples of 24 up to 1000.

Hence, option (c) 41 is the correct answer.

Mita Mehta answered
Given:
The ratio of the two numbers is 11 : 4.
The H.C.F is 16
Concept used:
(1) For the two numbers in the ratio y : z.
The value of first number = H.C.F × y
The value of first number = H.C.F × z
Calculation:
The value of first number = 16 × 11 = 176
The value of second number = 16 × 4 = 64
The required sum = 176 + 64 = 240
∴ The required answer is 240.
