  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0.25

    What will be the remainder when (265)4081 + 9 is divided by 266?
    Solutions
    [(265)4081 + 9]/266

    = [(266 - 1)4081 + 9]/266

    = [( - 1)4081 + 9]/266

    = [- 1 + 9]/266

    = 8/266

    Remainder = 8

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0.25

    A number is divisible by 3 only when:
    Solutions
    We know that a number is divisible by 3 only when the sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 3.

    For Ex: Consider the number 162

    1 + 6 + 2 = 9, which is divisible by 3.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.25

    If 572X41 is divisible by 9, then what is the value of X?
    Solutions

    Divisibility of 9: A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 9.

    5 + 7 + 2 + X + 4 + 1 = 19 + X

    The next number to 19 which is divisible by 9 is 27.

    x = 27 – 19 = 8

    Hence, option D is the correct answer.

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0.25

    What is the sum of all three-digit numbers which are divisible by 15?
    Solutions
     Ist three-digit number divisible by 15

    = 105

    Last three-digit number divisible by 15 = 990

    Since, 990/15 = 66

    Total 2-digit numbers divisible by 15 = 6 [15 × 6 = 90]

    Total three-digit numbers divisible by 15 = 66 – 6 = 60

    Now, n = 60, First term, a = 105 and last term, l = 990

    Sn = [n/2][a + l]

    = [60/2][105 + 990]

    = 32850

    Hence, option C is the correct answer.

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0.25

    If the number 476 ** 0 is divisible by both 3 and 11, then in the hundredth and tenth places, the non-zero digits are, respectively:
    Solutions

    Let the digits at hundredth and tenth places be x and y respectively.

    Divisibility of 11: A number if divisible by 11 if the difference of sum of digits at odd places and sum of digits at even places is either divisible by 11 or 0.

    (4 + 6 + y) – (7 + x) = 10 + y – 7 – x

    = 3 – x + y (i)

    Divisibility of 3: A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of digits of a number is divisible by 3.

    4 + 7 + 6 + x + y + 0

    = 17 + x + y (ii)

    By hit and trial

    x = 8 and y = 5 satisfies both the equations.

    Hence, option D is the correct answer.

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.25

    If 86y5 is exactly divisible by 3, then the least value of y is:
    Solutions

    Divisibility of 3: A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 3.

    Now, 8 + 6 + y + 5 = 19 + y

    The next number to 19 which is divisible by 3 is 21.

    y = 21 – 19 = 2

    Hence, option D is the correct answer.

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.25

    What is the greatest number of six digits, which when divided by each of 16, 24, 72 and 84, leaves the remainder 15?
    Solutions

    LCM of 16, 24, 72 and 84 = 1008

    Greatest six-digit number = 999999

    When we divide 999999 by 1008 it gives remainder 63.

    Required number = 999999 – 63 + 15

    = 999951

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0.25

    Find the least value of (A + B) if the number 27B58A4 is completely divisible by 88.
    Solutions

    Divisibility of 88 :- If a number is divisible by 8 and 11 both then the number is divisible by 88.

    Divisibility of 8 :- If the last three digits of a number are divisible by 8, then the number is completely divisible by 8.

    So, 8A4 is divisible by 8

    For the least value A should be 2.

    Divisibility of 11 :- A number is divisible by 11 if the difference between the sum of digits at its odd places and that of digits at the even places is either 0 or divisible by 11.

    (2 + B + 8 + 4) – (7 + 5 + 2) = 0

    14 + B – 14 = 0

    Or, B = 14 – 14 = 0

    A + B = 2 + 0 = 2

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0.25

    A four-digit pin, say abcd, of a lock has different non-zero digits. The digits satisfy b = 2a, c = 2b, d = 2c. The pin is divisible by __________.
    Solutions

    b = 2a

    c = 2b = 2 × 2a = 4a

    d = 2c = 2 × 4a = 8a

    Number = a × 1000 + 2a × 100 + 4a × 10 + 8a = 1248a

    = 13 × 3 × 25 × a

    Hence, pin is divisible by 2, 3, 13.

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0.25

    In a 7-digit number 89476*2, what is the smallest possible value of * such that the number is divisible by 8?
    Solutions

    Divisibility of 8 :- If the last three digits of a number are divisible by 8, then the number is completely divisible by 8.

    89476*2 is divisible by 8

    So, 6*2 is divisible by 8

    632 is divisible by 8

    *  = 3

    "Hence, option A is the correct answer."
