Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (D)
let’s say digit is pqpq
or pq00 + pq
or pq*100 + pq
or pq (100 + 1)
or pq (101)
hence digit will always be divisible by 101
2) Answer (C)
We can break the sum according to 500 + 10p +9 + 327 + 200 + 10q + 8 = 1114
or 1027 + 17 + 10(p+q) = 1114
or (p+q) = 7
so for q to be maximum p will be zero then q = 7
3) Answer (A)
let’s say 6 consecutive numbers are (a-d), a, (a+d), (a+2d), (a+3d), (a+4d)
where d is the common difference i.e. 1 (given) and a is second term
summation of first three terms will be 3a = 27
hence second term a = 9
now sequence is 8,9,10,11,12,13,
so sum of last three terms 36
4) Answer (B)
$(n^{3} – n) $ can be written as n(n-1)(n+1)
for n to be any natural number, $n^{3} – n$ is a product 3 consecutive numbers starting from 1.
hence for any value of a min. product of 6 will be there hence it is always be divisible by 6.
5) Answer (A)
let’s say one number is n and another number is p
so acc. to question sum will be 18n+21p
and this number will be divisible by 3 so answer will be (A)
6) Answer (A)
As we know a number with unit digit 2 have repeating cycle of 2,4,8,6 after every fourth power
as power is 173 or (172+1) where till 172 , 43rd cycle will get complete and next unit digit will be 2.
7) Answer (C)
Among all options only option C has unit digit 5, and in given equation unit digit will also be 5.
So only 155 can divide the given equation completely.
8) Answer (D)
n = 5k+2 (where k is quotient )
so $n^2 = 25k^2 + 4 + 20k$
Now when $n^2$ will divided by 5 , remainder will be 4.
9) Answer (B)
Let’s say number is N
So according to student result is $112= \frac{N+12}{6} $
or N = 660
Correct answer will be = $\frac{660}{6} +12 = 110+12 = 122$
10) Answer (A)
$17^{200}=(18-1)^{200}$
Hence, when it is divided by 18, the reminder equals $(-1)^{200}=1$
11) Answer (D)
Both of numbers have unit digit as 4 and it has a repeating cycle of 2 with unit digits as 4 and 6
so in first number power is 372 which is exactly divisible by 2 hence unit digit of first number will be 6.
and in second number power is 373 which exceeds one with the reapeating cycle of 2 hence its unit digit will be 4.
now unit digit of the sum will be 6+4 = 10
12) Answer (C)
1+4=5
5+(4+3)=12
12+(4+3+5)=24
24+(4+3+5+7)=43
43+(4+3+5+7+9)=71
13) Answer (B)
Number will be equal to 420t +3 = 13M
put values of M and t accordingly and find least value of it.
14) Answer (A)
21+x=3x-7
or 2x=28
x = 14
15) Answer (C)
The number is of the form 289n+18.
Which is equal to 17*(17n+1) +1
So, when the number is divided by 17, the reminder is 1

16) Answer (C)
Expression : $\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{4}}+……+\frac{1}{\sqrt{8}+\sqrt{9}}$
After rationalizing, the denominator of each term will be 1, the numerator will be
= $\sqrt{2}$ – 1 + $\sqrt{3}$ – $\sqrt{2}$ + $\sqrt{4}$ – $\sqrt{3}$ +…….+ $\sqrt{8}$ – $\sqrt{7}$ + $\sqrt{9}$ – $\sqrt{8}$
Now, all the terms will cancel out except
= $\sqrt{9}$ – 1 = 3-1
= 2
17) Answer (B)
Square root of 66049 = 257
Thus, unit’s digit = 7
18) Answer (B)
The remainder obtained by dividing 2055 by 27 = 3
So, the least number that should be ‘subtracted’ from 2055 to make it perfectly divisible by 27 = 3
and the least number that should be added = 27-3 = 24
19) Answer (D)
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{6}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{5}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}-2}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{8}-\sqrt{7}}+\frac{1}{3-\sqrt{8}}$
Rationalizing each term, we get, the denominator of each term will be 1, we get :
= $\sqrt{7}$ + $\sqrt{6}$ – ($\sqrt{6}$ + $\sqrt{5}$) + $\sqrt{5}$ + 2 – ($\sqrt{8}$ + $\sqrt{7}$) + 3 + $\sqrt{8}$
= 2+3 = 5
20) Answer (A)
$2+x\sqrt{3}$ = $\frac{1}{2+\sqrt{3}}$
Rationalizing the R.H.S.
=> $2+x\sqrt{3}$ = $\frac{1}{2+\sqrt{3}}$ * $\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{2-\sqrt{3}}$
=> $2+x\sqrt{3}$ = $\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{4-3}$
=> $2+x\sqrt{3}$ = $2-\sqrt{3}$
Comparing both sides, we get $x$ = -1
