So, chocolates remaining with him after the distribution = N – (N/5 + N/4 + N/3) = N – 47N/60 = 13N/60 = 65 So, N = 65 * 60/13 = 300 4) Answer (C) For any given number, that can be represented as$ A^{x} \times B ^ {y} $, etc The number of factors is denoted by (x+1) x ( y+1), etc 360 =$ 2 ^ {3} \times 3 ^ {2} \times 5^ {1}$So the number of factors = (3 +1) x (2+ 1) (1+ 1) = 4x3x2 = 24 For 240, it is$ 2 ^ {4} \times 3 ^ {1} \times 5^ {1}$Number of factors = 5 x 2 x 2 = 20 only 5) Answer (D) Only in option D the product of numbers is 182.∴option D is the right choice. 6) Answer (D) Given, a = 6, b = 2, c = -8 Here, a+b+c = 0. We know that if a+b+c = 0, then$a^3+b^3+c^3 = 3abc$Therefore,$a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = 3 \times 6 \times 2 \times (-8) = -288$7) Answer (B) Given,$x + \dfrac{1}{x} = 3$Cubing on both sides,$(x + \dfrac{1}{x})^3 = 27x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} + 3 \times x \times \dfrac{1}{x} (x + \dfrac{1}{x}) = 27x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} + 3 \times 3 = 27$Therefore,$x^3 + \dfrac{1}{x^3} = 27-9 = 18$8) Answer (C) Let the three numbers be 2n-2, 2n,2n+2 sum=6n We have 6n=48 n=8 Substituting n=8 we have 14,16,18 Square of 18 is 324. 9) Answer (C) By expressing the given value in terms of square we have$(x+6)^{2}+6$Minimum value of the term in square is zero And so minimum value of the expression is 6. 10) Answer (D) From the remainder theorem we have if f(x) is divided by (x-a) then f(a) is the remainder and so by substituting -1 in f(x) we have =$2*(-1)^{4}-(-1)^{3}+5*(-1)^{2}-2*(-1)+6$=2+1+5+2+6 =16 11) Answer (B) let the number be x Given$x^{2}-(x/2)$=33$2x^{2}-x$=66$2x^{2}-x-66$=0$2x^{2}-12x+11x-66$=0 2x(x-6)+11(x-6)=0 (2x+11)(x-6)=0 x=6 Cube of 6=216 12) Answer (A) From the remainder theorem when f(x) is divided by (x-a) then f(a) will be the remainder and so substituting x=-1 in the equation we have =7-5 =2 13) Answer (A) We know that AM$\geq$GM 15$\geq$GM Let the numbers be a and b$\sqrt{ab}\leq15$ab$\geq$225 14) Answer (B) Let the numbers be n and n+1 Then we have (1/(n+1))+(1/(n))=11/30 (2n+1)/(n)(n+1) =11/30 60n+30=$11n^{2}$+11n$11n^{2}-49n-30$=0$11n^{2}-55n+6n-30$=0 11n(n-5)+6(n-5)=0 n=5 and so n+1=6 Sum of squares=25+36 =61 15) Answer (B) From the remainder theorem we know that if f(x) is divisible by (x-a) then f(a)=0 an so by substituting x=3 in the expression we have$3^{3}-4*3^{2}+12*3-k\$=0
27-36+36-k=0
27-k=0
k=27
