Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (B)

We can observe that 14 – 10 = 4
24 – 20 = 4
and
25 – 21 = 4
Hence, the required number of students will be nothing but LCM ( 14, 24, 25) – 4
We have
14 = 2*7
24 = 8*3
25 = 5*5
Hence, the required LCM will be 8*25*3*7 = 600*7 = 4200
Hence, the required number of students will be 4200 – 4 = 4196

2) Answer (A)

We know that the largest number which leaves same remainder on dividing A, B and C is given by HCF ( B-A, C-B)
Thus, here we have A = 4048, B = 3096 and C =2024
So, the required number will be
HCF (952, 1072)
952 = 8*7*17
1072 = 16*67
Thus, we can see that the HCF is 8
Hence, option A is the correct answer.

3) Answer (D)

Let A be 100x. So B will be 60x. C in this case will be 60x*1.6 = 96x
Hence, the difference between A and C is 4x. Thus, D must be 8x. Hence, D as a percentage of C will be 8x*100/96x = 8.33 %
Thus, option D is the correct answer.

4) Answer (C)

Let the number of children be x and number of chocolates be y. So we have
4x + 9 = y
and
5x – 8 = y
Solving both equations, we get
4x + 9 = 5x – 8
=> x = 17
Hence, there are 17 children. Hence, the number of chocolates must be 17*4 + 9 = 77
Thus, the required sum is 77 + 17 = 94

5) Answer (B)

Let the given two digit number be 10x + y
So after interchanging the digits, the new number will be 10y + x
We have been given that
10x + y + 9 = 10y + x
9y – 9x = 9
=> y – x = 1
Since both x and y are single digit natural numbers so y can take values from 2 to 9. Consequently, x will vary from 1 to 8. Hence, there are 8 possible numbers which satisfy the given conditions.

6) Answer (C)

Bell A rings after every 7 minutes, bell B rings after every 9 minutes and bell C rings after every 10 minutes. Hence, the three bells will ring together after an interval of LCM(7, 9, 10) minutes. Hence, the three bells will ring together after every 630 minutes. Thus they will ring together after every 10 hours and 30 minutes. Hence, they will ring together 2 times in the next 30 hours. Thus, option C is correct.

7) Answer (C)

We can observe that in each of the cases the difference between the divisor and quotient is constant.
11 – 3 = 8
13 – 5 = 8
15 – 7 = 8
Hence, the smallest number which satisfies the given conditions will be of the form
LCM(11, 13, 15) – 8
Thus, the required number will be
11*13*15 – 8 = 2145 – 8 = 2137

8) Answer (B)

We have been given that (x + y)*x = 1080 and (x + y)*y = 520. The HCF of 1080 and 520 will be the value of x + y. 1080 = 40*27 and 520 = 40*13
Hence, the HCF will be 40. Thus, x = 27 and y = 13
Hence, x – y = 14

9) Answer (C)

Let the two numbers be x and y.
We have been given that
$\frac{x+y}{x-y} = \frac{17}{4}$
=> $4x + 4y = 17x – 17y$
=> 13x = 21y
=> x/y = 21/13
Hence, the numbers must be in this ratio.
Numbers in option C are not in this ratio. Hence, it is our answer.

10) Answer (D)

The number on division with 9 leaves are remainder of 1. Since we are looking for smallest number so the number must be 1. This must have been the quotient on division by 8. Hence, the number which would have been divided by 8 would have been 8*1 + 2 = 10.
Thus, the number which must have been divided by 7 will be 10*7 + 3 = 73
Hence, option D is the correct answer.

11) Answer (D)

We know that the three bells ring together at intervals of their LCMs.
The LCM of 5, 7 and 15 seconds is 105 seconds.
If the 3 bells rang together at 210 seconds, they will ring together again at 210+105 = 315 seconds.
Hence, option D is the right answer.

12) Answer (C)

2X has an odd number of factors. Therefore, in 2X, the power of 2 must be even. This means that the power of 2 in X must have been an odd number. Therefore, X is definitely an even number. We can eliminate option B.

X must have been an even number. We know that 2X has an odd number of factors. Also, we know that only perfect squares have an odd number of factors. If 2X is a perfect square, X could not have been a perfect square for sure. Therefore, option C is the right answer.

13) Answer (D)

The number of marbles with Sheela is a multiple of 4 and 5, but are not multiples of 8 and 15. Therefore, the number of marbles must be of the form 20k, where k must neither be even nor must be a multiple of 3.

720 is a multiple of 3. Therefore, the number of marbles with Sheela cannot be 720. Hence, option D is the right answer.

14) Answer (B)

The difference between the 2 numbers is 4.
Let the numbers be $x$ and $(x+4)$.
We know that $\frac{x(x+4)}{x+x+4} = \frac{8}{3}$
$\frac{x^2+4x}{2x+4} = \frac{8}{3}$
$3x^2+12x = 16x+32$
$3x^2-4x-32 = 0$
Applying $\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$, we get,
Roots = $\frac{4\pm\sqrt{4^2+4*3*32}}{6}$
= $\frac{4\pm\sqrt{400}}{6}$
Since we know that $x$ is a whole number, $x$ must be $4$.
=> The other number is $x+4$ = $8$.
Difference between the squares = $8^2 – 4^2$ = $64-16$ = $48$.
Therefore, option B is the right answer.

15) Answer (C)

When a number is divided by 17, the remainder can range from 0 to 16 (17 values).
When a number is divided by 289, the remainder can range from 0 to 288 (289 values).
Numbers of the form 289x+k, where k is less than 17 will leave the same remainder when divided by both 17 and 289.
The question asks for 3 digit numbers.
Therefore, x can take the values 1,2 and 3. For every value of ‘x’, 17 values of k will satisfy this condition. Therefore, the number of 3 digit numbers that satisfy the given condition is 3*17 = 51.
Hence, option C is the right answer.
