Question 5: To decide whether a number of n digits is divisible by 7, we can define a process by which its magnitude is reduced as follows: $(i_{1}, i_{2}, i_{3}$,….. are the digits of the number, starting from the most significant digit). $i_{1} i_{2} … i_{n} => i_{1}.3^{n-1} + i_{2}.3^{n-2} + … + i_{n}.3^0$.

c) 15
d) 17
e) 19
Question 10: In a Green view apartment, the houses of a row are numbered consecutively from 1 to 49.

Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (C)
The numbers 1421, 1423 and 1425 when divided by 12 give remainder 5, 7 and 9 respectively.
5*7*9 mod 12 = 11 * 9 mod 12 = 99 mod 12 = 3
2) Answer (A)
$2^4 = 16 = -1$ (mod $17$)
So, $2^{256} = (-1)^{64} $(mod $17$)
$= 1$ (mod $17$)
Hence, the answer is 1. Option a).
3) Answer (B)
Consider the options:
24: (Square of sum of digits – the number) = 36 – 24 = 12
54: (Square of sum of digits – the number) = 81 – 54 = 27
34: (Square of sum of digits – the number) = 49 – 34 = 15
45: (Square of sum of digits – the number) = 81 – 45 = 36
So, option b) is the correct answer.
4) Answer (C)
For a number to be even, its unit digit should be 0,2,4,6,8
Case 1: One of the digit is 5
Hence according to question, 5 can’t come in middle and at unit’s place, so numbers will be 570,572,574,576,578.
Case 2: No digit is 5
Hence the hundreds place can be filled in 8 ways (except 0,5) and tens place can be filled in 9 ways (except 5).
Number of ways = 8 * 9 * 5 = 360
Hence total number of ways = 360 + 5 = 365
5) Answer (A)
For 203 :
first step = $2\times 3^2 + 0 \times 3^1 + 3 \times 3^0$ = 21
second step = $2 \times 3^1 + 1 \times 3^0$ = 7
So two steps needed to reduce it to 7
6) Answer (C)
Let’s say m=5k and n=5t
So m-n = 5(k-t) will be divisible by 5.
$m^2 – n^2 = 25(k^2 – t^2)$ will be divisible by 5.
$m+n = 5(k+t)$ will be divisible by 5 but not necessarily with 10.
7) Answer (A)
Let’s say N is our number
N = (899K + 63) or N = ($29 \times 31$K) + 63
So when it is divided by 29, remainder will be $\frac{63}{29}$ = 5
8) Answer (C)
Expression : $\frac{a + b + c + d}{a + b + c – d}$
To maximize the above expression, we have to minimize the denominator
Minimum value of the denominator = 1
So we can make $a + b + c = 26$ and $d = 25$ (as maximizing d will give denominator the least value).
So required maximum value = $\frac{a + b + c + d}{a + b + c – d}$
= $\frac{26 + 25}{26 – 25} = 51$
9) Answer (E)
In Base B, $297_B = 2B^2 + 9B + 7$
and $792_B = 7B^2 + 9B + 2$
It is given that $297_{B}$ is a factor of $792_{B}$
=> $\frac{7B^2 + 9B + 2}{2B^2 + 9B + 7}$ must be an integer
=> $\frac{(2B^2 + 9B + 7) + (5B^2 – 5)}{2B^2 + 9B + 7}$
=> $\frac{5B^2 – 5}{2B^2 + 9B + 7} + 1 = k$
=> $5B^2 – 5 = (2B^2 + 9B + 7) k$ (where $k$ is factor)
Put $k = 1$
=> $5B^2 – 5 = 2B^2 + 9B + 7$
=> $B^2 – 3B – 4 = 0$
=> $(B – 4) (B + 1) = 0$
=> $B = 4 , -1$
Since, B is a base,so B must be greater than 9. Hence, it is not possible
Put $k = 2$
=> $5B^2 – 5 = 4B^2 + 18B + 14$
=> $B^2 – 18B – 19 = 0$
=> $(B – 19) (B + 1) = 0$
=> $B = 19 , -1$
$\therefore B = 19$
10) Answer (C)
It is given that sum of the first $(x – 1)$ numbers is equal to sum of the numbers from $(x + 1)$ to 49
or, sum of $(x – 1)$ numbers = sum of first 49 numbers – sum of first $x$ numbers
$\dfrac{x(x – 1)}{2} = \dfrac{49 * 50}{2} – \dfrac{x(x + 1)}{2}$
On solving, we get $x$ = 35
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
