Answers
(1) b. Yes

Step 1
Let us divide 178 by 2.

Dividend↴
Divisor→ 2 ) 1 7 8 ( 89 ←Quotient
16
18
18
Remainder← 0

Step 2
Clearly, on dividing 178 by 2, we get 0 as the remainder.
This means 178 is completely divisible by 2.

Step 3
Thus, 2 is a factor of 178.

(2) b. 11

Step 1
Here (x-1)! will not be divisible by x, only if x is a prime number.

Step 2
Between 18 and 62, let us count the prime numbers: 19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61.

Step 3
There are 11 prime numbers, so the answer to the above question will be 11.

(3) d. 48

Step 1
We know that when a number divides another number completely, the divisor is called the factor of the
dividend and the dividend is called the multiple of the divisor.

Step 2
So, the factors of 48 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24 and 48 and the multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40,
48,..... and so on.

Step 3
Hence, the numbers that are both the factors of 48 and the multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24 and 48.

Step 4
Out of the factors and multiples calculated above, only number 48 is given in the options.

Step 5
Hence, option d is the correct answer.

(4) c. finite

Step 1
As we know that the numbers that are multiplied to get the product are called the factors of the given
number. As we require finite numbers to get the product, we can say that every non-zero number has
finite number of factors.

Step 2
Hence, option c is the correct answer.

(5) 9999

Step 1
The largest 4 digit number is 9999.

Step 2
Since, 9999 is odd.
The largest 4 digit odd number is 9999.

(6) even

Step 1
Remember the following rules of addition:

1. Sum of two even numbers is an even number.

2. Sum of two odd numbers is an even number.
3. Sum of an odd and an even number is an odd number.

Step 2
Thus, if we add an even number and an even number, we get an even number.

(7) True

Step 1
X is a factor of Y means X divides Y completely.

Y is a factor of X means Y divides X completely.

As X divides Y completely and Y divides X completely, we have:

X=Y

Step 2
Hence, the above statement is true.

(8) 62

Step 1

If we look at the question carefully, we will notice that the sum of the first n odd numbers is n 2.

Step 2
11 +1
Now, the number of odd numbers from 1 to 11 = = 6.
2

Step 3

Therefore, the value of 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + .... + 11 = 62.

(9) 9996

Step 1
We know that the largest 4-digit number is 9999.

Step 2
From the division formula, we know that dividend = quotient × divisor + remainer. Thus, if we
subtract the remainder from the dividend, the resulting number will be perfectly divisible by the divisor.

Step 3
When 9999 is divided by 12, the remainder is 3. Hence, the required number is 9999 - 3 = 9996.

(10) An even number

Step 1
We know that if we add 1 to an even number, we get an odd number.
Eg: 1 + 2 = 3 (Odd)

Step 2
Similarly, if we add 1 to an odd number, we get an even number.
Eg: 1 + 3 = 4 (Even)

Step 3
Hence, odd number + odd number
= (Even number + 1) + (Even number + 1)
= Even number + Even number + 2
Since, 2 is an even number, we can replace it with 'Even number' in the above sentence.
So,
Even number + Even number + Even number = Even number

Step 4
We can understand it better by taking a few examples :
7 (Odd) + 5 (Odd) = 12 (Even)
1 (Odd) + 3 (Odd) = 4 (Even)

Step 5
Hence, the sum of 2 odd numbers is an even number.
