Answers and Solutions for Number System Questions for CAT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Solutions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maximum five digit number which can be formed by using numbers is 43210
\nAnd minimum five digit number = 10234
\nDifference = 43210 – 10234 = 32976<\/p>\n

Answer 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the number ‘n’ belong to the set A.
\nHence, the remainder when n is divided by 2 is 1
\nThe remainder when n is divided by 3 is 2
\nThe remainder when n is divided by 4 is 3
\nThe remainder when n is divided by 5 is 4 and
\nThe remainder when n is divided by 6 is 5
\nSo, when (n+1) is divisible by 2,3,4,5 and 6.
\nHence, (n+1) is of the form 60k for some natural number k.
\nAnd n is of the form 60k-1
\nBetween numbers 0 and 100, only 59 is of the form above and hence the correct answer is 1<\/p>\n

Answer 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the options a, c and d all can possibly occur. Hence option b. Besides, if all people have different number of acquaintances, then first person will have 26 acquaintance, second person will have 25 acquaintance, third person will have 24 and so on till 27 th person will have 0 acquaintance. 0 acquaintance is practically not possible.<\/p>\n

Answer 4:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s say three numbers are (a-2),a,(a+2)
\nSo 3(a-2) = 2(a+2) – 3
\na=7 and a+2 = R = 9<\/p>\n

Answer 5:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since in all three cases the last digit is 1, the number should give remainder 1 when divided individually by 2,3,5 . So the no. may be 31 or 91 . Now 31 in base 2,3 and 5 give first digit as 1 in all the 3 cases while 91 gives exactly two out of the three cases the leading digit as 1. Hence option D.<\/p>\n
