Answers & Solutions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1) Answer (C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

If a number has 12 factors, it can be of the following forms-
\n$X=a^{11}$, in this case $X^2=a^{22}$, so the number of factors of the square is 23.
\n$X=a^{5}b$ in this case $X^2=a^{10}b^2$, so the number of factors of the square is 33.
\n$X=a^{3}b^{2}$ in this case $X^2=a^{6}b^4$, so the number of factors of the square is 35.
\n$X=abc^{2}$ in this case $X^2=a^{2}b^{2}c^4$, so the number of factors of the square is 45.
\nThus, the answer is C.<\/p>\n

2) Answer (B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the two digit number be \u2018xy\u2019
\nThe difference between the number and the number obtained when its digits are reversed is,
\n(10y-x)-(10x-y) = 9(y-x)
\nThis must be a perfect square.
\nSo it can only take the values of 9, 36 and 81.
\nIt cannot take the value 0 because it is given that the digits of the two digit number are distinct.
\nIf 9(y-x) = 9, then (y-x)=1. There will be 17 numbers such that either y-x = 1 or x-y = 1.
\nIf 9(y-x) = 36, then (y-x)=4. There will be 11 numbers such that either y-x = 4 or x-y = 4.
\nIf 9(y-x) = 81, then (y-x)=9. There will be only 1 number such that x-y = 9, that is 90.
\nSo the total number of numbers possible are 17+11+1 = 29.<\/p>\n

3) Answer ()<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the unit digit of the cube is 4, the unit digit of the number must definitely be 4.
\n=> The number must be of the form \u2018abc4\u2019
\nSince a and b are the thousandth and the hundredth digit number, they won\u2019t contribute to the tens digit number of the cube. Let us find how many values c can assume.
\n$(10c+4)^3$ gives 44 in the end.
\n=> $1000c^3 + 64 + 400c^2 + 480c $ ends in 44.
\nAgain $1000c^3$ and $400c^2$ won\u2019t contribute to the last 2 digits.
\n=> 64+80c ends in 44. This only happens when c=1 or c=6
\n=> a can assume 1-9 i.e 9 values, b can assume 0-9 i.e. 10 values, and c can assume 2 values. Total numbers= 180.<\/p>\n

4) Answer (B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

$36288 = 2^6 * 3^4 * 7$
\nFor any perfect cube, all the powers of its prime numbers have to be multiples of 3.
\nSo, if the factor is of form $2^a * 3^b * 7^c$, a can take values 0, 3, 6
\nAnd b can take values 0, 3
\nAnd c can take value 0.
\n==> There are 3*2*1 = 6 possibilities.<\/p>\n
