It is being given that (232 + 1) is completely divisible by a whole number. Which of the following
numbers is completely divisible by this number?
A.
(216 + 1)
B.
(216 - 1)
C.
(7 x 223)
D.
(296 + 1)
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let 232 = x. Then, (232 + 1) = (x + 1).

Let (x + 1) be completely divisible by the natural number N. Then,
(296 + 1) = [(232)3 + 1] = (x3 + 1) = (x + 1)(x2 - x + 1), which is completely divisible by N, since
(x + 1) is divisible by N.

respectively:
A.
7 and 4
B.
7 and 5
C.
8 and 5
D.
None of these
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the given number be 476 xy 0.
Then (4 + 7 + 6 + x + y + 0) = (17 + x + y) must be divisible by 3.
And, (0 + x + 7) - (y + 6 + 4) = (x - y -3) must be either 0 or 11.
x-y-3=0
y=x-3
(17 + x + y) = (17 + x + x - 3) = (2x + 14)

x= 2 or x = 8.
x = 8 and y = 5.

97. If x and y are positive integers such that (3x + 7y) is a multiple of 11, then which of the
following will be divisible by 11 ?
A.
4x + 6y
B.
x+y+4
C.
9x + 4y
D.
4x - 9y
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
By hit and trial, we put x = 5 and y = 1 so that (3x + 7y) = (3 x 5 + 7 x 1) = 22, which is
divisible by 11.
(4x + 6y) = ( 4 x 5 + 6 x 1) = 26, which is not divisible by 11;
(x + y + 4 ) = (5 + 1 + 4) = 10, which is not divisible by 11;

(9x + 4y) = (9 x 5 + 4 x 1) = 49, which is not divisible by 11;
(4x - 9y) = (4 x 5 - 9 x 1) = 11, which is divisible by 11.

Cannot be determined
E.
None of these
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Then, x + y = 15 and x - y = 3
or
y - x = 3.
Solving x + y = 15
and
x - y = 3, we get: x = 9, y = 6.
Solving x + y = 15
and
y - x = 3, we get: x = 6, y = 9.
So, the number is either 96 or 69.

Hence, the number cannot be determined.

The sum of the squares of three numbers is 138, while the sum of their products taken two at a
time is 131. Their sum is:
A.
20
B.
30
C.
40
D.
None of these
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let the numbers be a, b and c.
Then, a2 + b2 + c2 = 138 and (ab + bc + ca) = 131.
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca) = 138 + 2 x 131 = 400.
(a + b + c) = 400 = 20.
8.
A number consists of two digits. If the digits interchange places and the new number is added to
the original number, then the resulting number will be divisible by:
A.
B.
C.
D.
11
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Then, number = 10x + y.
Number obtained by interchanging the digits = 10y + x.
(10x + y) + (10y + x) = 11(x + y), which is divisible by 11.
9.
In a two-digit, if it is known that its unit's digit exceeds its ten's digit by 2 and that the product of
the given number and the sum of its digits is equal to 144, then the number is:
A.
24
B.
26
C.
42
D.
46
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let the ten's digit be x.
Then, unit's digit = x + 2.
Number = 10x + (x + 2) = 11x + 2.
Sum of digits = x + (x + 2) = 2x + 2.
(11x + 2)(2x + 2) = 144
22x2 + 26x - 140 = 0

11x2 + 13x - 70 = 0
(x - 2)(11x + 35) = 0
x = 2.
Hence, required number = 11x + 2 = 24.
10. Find a positive number which when increased by 17 is equal to 60 times the reciprocal of the
number.
A.
B.
10
C.
17
D.
20
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let the number be x.
60
Then, x + 17 =
x
x2 + 17x - 60 = 0
(x + 20)(x - 3) = 0
x = 3.
11. The product of two numbers is 9375 and the quotient, when the larger one is divided by the
smaller, is 15. The sum of the numbers is:
A.
380
B.
395
C.
400
D.
425
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the numbers be x and y.
x
Then, xy = 9375 and
= 15.
y
xy
9375
=
(x/y)
15
y2 = 625.
y = 25.
x = 15y = (15 x 25) = 375.
Sum of the numbers = x + y = 375 + 25 = 400.
12. The product of two numbers is 120 and the sum of their squares is 289. The sum of the number
is:
A.
20
B.
23
C.
169
D.
None of these
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Then, xy = 120 and x2 + y2 = 289.
(x + y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy = 289 + (2 x 120) = 529
x + y = 529 = 23.
13. A number consists of 3 digits whose sum is 10. The middle digit is equal to the sum of the other
two and the number will be increased by 99 if its digits are reversed. The number is:
A.
145
B.
253
C.
370
D.
352
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let the middle digit be x.
Then, 2x = 10 or x = 5. So, the number is either 253 or 352.
Since the number increases on reversing the digits, so the hundred's digits is smaller than the
unit's digit.
Hence, required number = 253.
14. The sum of two number is 25 and their difference is 13. Find their product.
A.
104
B.
114
C.
315
D.
325
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Then, x + y = 25 and x - y = 13.
4xy = (x + y)2 - (x- y)2
= (25)2 - (13)2
= (625 - 169)
= 456
xy = 114.
15. What is the sum of two consecutive even numbers, the difference of whose squares is 84?
A.
34
B.
38
C.
42
D.
46
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the numbers be x and x + 2.
Then, (x + 2)2 - x2 = 84
4x + 4 = 84
4x = 80
x = 20.
The required sum = x + (x + 2) = 2x + 2 = 42.
