17) If the number A381 is divisible by 11, then what is the value of A?
0. 7
a. 3
b. 1
c. 8
Answer: (a) 7
Explanation: A number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of digits on odd places
and the sum of digits on even places is zero or divisible by 11. So, we have the number A381.
Hence, (A + 8) - (3 + 1) = either 0 or multiple of 11
If we put A = 7, then we get
(7 + 8) - (3 + 1) = 15 - 4 = 11 (Which is divisible by 11).
3 + 8 + 1 + 6 = 18 (which is a multiple of 9)

Answer: (a) 45
Explanation: Given ration 7 : 9
So, let the numbers be 7a and 9a. According to the question -
7a * 9a = 1575
63a2 = 1575
a2 = 1575/63
Or a2 = 25
And a =5
So, the two numbers will be -
7a = 7 * 5 = 35
And 9a = 9 * 5 = 45
Hence, the greater number is 45 between the given numbers.

Explanation: Pick up the unit digit of each number and multiply them;
02 in (1570)2 = 0
12 in (1571)2 = 1
22 in (1572)2 = 4
32 in (1573)2 = 9
On adding the unit digits, we will get,
0 + 1 + 4 + 9 = 14 (unit digit = 4)
So, on adding (1570)2 + (1571)2 + (1572)2 + (1573)2, the unit digit will be 4.

of numbers?
0. 36
a. 33
b. 45
c. None of the above
Answer: (b) 33
Explanation: Suppose the three consecutive positive numbers be x, x + 1, and x + 2
According to the question,
(x)2 + (x + 1)2 + (x + 2)2 = 365
On expanding, we will get,
x2 + x2 + 1 + 2x + x2 + 4 + 4x = 365
3x2 + 6x = 360
Or, x2 + 2x - 120 = 0
=> (x - 10) (x + 12) = 0
So, x = 10
First number x = 10
Second number x + 1 = 11
Third number x + 2 = 12
So, sum of the numbers is = 10 + 11 + 12 = 33

0. 36 or 63
a. 22 or 22
b. 39 or 93
c. 25 or 52
Answer: (c) 39 or 93
Explanation: We can solve it via two ways. Let's see the ways.
Shortcut method:
We can also get the answer using the specified options. We can check the digits of the
numbers mentioned in the options. As in the option 'C', there are 39 or 93, and on adding their
digits, we will get 12, and on subtracting the digits, we will get 6.
Detailed method:
Suppose the digits of the two-digit number be 'a' and 'b'.
So, according to the question
a + b = 12 ….(i)
a - b = 6 ……(ii)
Add equation (i) and (ii), we get
2a = 18
Or, a = 9
Put a = 9 in eqn (i), we will get
b=3
So, the two-digit number is 93 (when a > b)
Or 39 (when b > a)
36) If the three-fifth of a number is equal to 70% of another number, what is the ratio
between the first number and second number?
0. 6:7
a. 7 : 6
b. 3 : 4
c. 4 : 3
Answer: (b) 7 : 6
Explanation: Let the numbers be a and b.
So, according to the question,
a * 3/5 = 70% of b
3a/5 = 70b/100
a/b = (70 * 5)/(100 * 3) = 7/6
So, the ration between a and b is 7 : 6.
37) If the sum of the cubes of three numbers is 4500, and their ratio is 1 : 2 : 3, what is the
value of the smallest number between them?
0. 6
a. 5
b. 3
c. 4
Answer: (b) 5
Explanation: Given ratio is 1 : 2 : 3
So, the numbers will be 1a : 2a : 3a
Then, a3 + 8a3 + 27a3 = 4500
36a3 = 4500
Or, a3 = 4500/36 =125
So, a = 5
The smallest number is 5.
38) The denominator of a fraction is 3 more than its numerator. If the denominator is
decreased by 2, and the numerator is increased by 7, we will get 2. What will be the sum of
the numerator and denominator of that fraction?
0. 6
a. 13
b. 31
c. 14
Answer: (b) 13
Explanation: Let the numerator be 'a' so, denominator will be 'a + 3'.
According to the question,
(a + 7)/ ((a + 3) - 2) = 2/1
(a + 7)/(a + 1) = 2/1
2a + 2 = a + 7
=> a = 5
So, the fraction is a/a + 3 = 5/ 5 + 3
= 5/8
And the sum of the numerator and denominator of the fraction is 13.
39) A boy has mistakenly multiplied a number by 45 instead of multiplying it with 25. Due to

41) The sum of the numerator and denominator of a fraction is 11. If we add 2 to both
numerator and denominator, the fraction will be increased by 1/24. What is the difference
between the numerator and denominator of that fraction?
0. 1
a. 2
b. 6
c. 8
Answer: (a) 1
Explanation: Let the numerator of the fraction be x, so the denominator will be 11 - x
So, the fraction = x/11 - x
On adding 2 in both numerator and denominator, according to the question, the fraction will
be -
(x + 2)/(11 - x + 2) = (x)/(11 - x) + 1/24
(x + 2)/(13 - x) - (x)/(11 - x) = 1/24
[11x + 22 - x2 -2x - 13x + x2]/(13 - x) (11 - x) = 1/24
After solving the above equation, we will get
=> 528 - 96x = 143 - 24x + x2
x2 + 72x - 385 = 0
(x + 77) (x - 5) = 0
So, x =5
So, numerator = 5
and, denominator = 11 - 5 = 6
Difference between both is = 6 - 5 = 1
42) If a and b are two odd numbers, then which of the following is even?
0. a + b + 2ab
