In this section those important questions are included, which are frequently asked in
majority of exams. The regular practice of these questions will substantially improve the
confidence of the students, therefore they could get maximum marks in the exam...
1. Howmanyofthefollowingnumbersaredivisibleby132?

Clearly, the expression in (a) in the same as the given expression.

264,396,462,792,968,2178,5184,6336

(a) 4

(b) 5

(c) 6

(d) 7

Answer:(a) 4

132
= 1134
Clearly, 968 is not divisible by 3.
None of 462 and 2178 is divisible by 4.
And 5184 is not divisible by 11.
Each One of the remaining Four numbers is divisible by each of 4, 3
and 11. So there are 4 Such numbers.

2. The Sum of two numbers is 2000 and their LCM is 21879.

The two numbers are:
(a) 1993, 7 (b) 1991, 9 (c) 1989, 11 (d) 1987, 13
Answer:(c) 1989, 11
Let the numbers be x and (2000x). Than,
their L.C.M.
= x (2000x).
so,
x (2000x)
= 21879
x22000x+21879 = 0
x21989x11x+21879 = 0
x (x1989)11 (x1989) = 0
(x1989) (x11) = 0
x = 1989, x = 11
Hence, the numbers are 1989 and 11
3.(7.57.5+37.5+2.52.5)isequalto:
(a) 30 (b) 60
(c) 80
(d) 100
Answer:(d) 100
Given expression
= (7.57.5+37.5+2.52.5)
(a2+2ab+b2)
= (a+b)2
(7.57.5+37.5+2.52.5)
= (7.5+2.5)2
= 102
= 100

5.TheaveragemonthlyIncomeofPandQ5050Rs.Theaverage
monthlyincomeofQandRis6250Rs.andtheaveragemonthly
incomeofPandRis5200Rs.ThemonthlyincomeofPis:
(a) 3,500 Rs.
(b) 4,000 Rs.
(c) 4,050 Rs.
(d) 5,000 Rs.
Answer:(b) 4,000 Rs.
Let P, and R represent their respective monthly incomes. Then, we
have
P+Q
= (50502) = 10100
...(I)
Q+R
= (62502) = 12500
...(II)
P+R
= (52002) = 10400
...(III)
Adding (I), (II) and (III), we get
2(P+Q+R)
= 33000
or
P+Q+R
= 16500
...(IV)
Subtracting (II) from (IV), we get
P
= 4000
\ P's monthly income
= 4000 Rs.
6.If35+125=17.88,thenwhatwillbethevalueof80+65?
(a) 13.41
(b) 20.46
(c) 21.66
(d) 22.35
Answer:(d)22.35
35 + 125
= 17.88

35 + 25 5
= 17.88

35 + 55
= 17.88

85
= 17.88

5
= 2.235
\
80+65
= 16 5 + 65
= 45 + 65
= 105
(102.235)
= 22.35
7.Amanis24yearsolderthanhisson.Intwoyears,hisagewill
betwicetheageofhisson,thepresentageofthesonis:
(a) 14 years
(b) 18 years
(c) 20 years
(d) 22 years
Answer:(d) 22 years
Let the son's present age be x years. Than man's present age
= (x+24) years
(x+24)+2
= 2(x+2)
x+26
= 2x +4
x
= 22
\ The present age of the son is 22 years.
