- Question
What is the greatest of 3 consecutive integers whose sum is 24 ?
Options- A. 6
- B. 7
- C. 8
- D. 9
- Correct Answer
- 9
ExplanationThe sum of three consecutive integers can be written as n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 3n + 3
If the sum is 24, we need to solve the equation 3n + 3 = 24;
=> 3n = 21;
=> n = 7
The greatest of the three numbers is therefore 7 + 2 = 9

Correct Answer: 4/5
Explanation:
Let the required fraction be x. Then, (1 / x )- x = 9/20
1 - x^(2) / x = 9 / 20 => 20 - 20 * x^(2) = 9 * x.
20 * x^(2) + 9 *x - 20 = 0.
=> (4 * x + 5) (5 * x - 4) = 0.
=> x = 4 / 5.
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
The pattern is -45, -35, -25, -15
The next number = 20-15= 5
Correct Answer: 75
Explanation:
Let Divisor be x. We know that Dividend = Remainder+Divisor×Quotient So Divisor = (Dividend - Remainder)/Quotient ⇒ x = (4150 - 25)/55 ⇒ x = 4125/55 ⇒ x = 75 Hence Divisor is 75.
Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
Let the two consecutive odd integers be (2x + 1) and (2x + 3)
Then,
(2x + 3)2 - (2x + 1)2
= (2x + 3 + 2x + 1) (2x + 3 - 2x - 1)
= (4x + 4)(2)
= 8 (x + 1), which is always divisible by 8
Correct Answer: 555681
Explanation:
987 = 3 * 7 * 47.
So, the required number must be divisible by each one of 3, 7, 47
553681 => (Sum of digits = 28, not divisible by 3)
555181 => (Sum of digits = 25, not divisible by 3)
555681 is divisible by each one of 3, 7, 47.
Correct Answer: 100
Explanation:
Let the number be x.Then
60% of of x=36.
=>
=> => x=
Required number is 100.
Correct Answer: 8 and 5
Explanation:
Let the number be 476ab0
476ab0 is divisible by 3
=> 4 + 7 + 6 + a + b + 0 is divisible by 3
=> 17 + a + b is divisible by 3 ------------------------(i)
476ab0 is divisible by 11
[(4 + 6 + b) -(7 + a + 0)] is 0 or divisible by 11
=> [3 + (b - a)] is 0 or divisible by 11 --------------(ii)
Substitute the values of a and b with the values given in the choices and select the values which satisfies both Equation 1 and Equation 2.
if a=6 and b=2,
17 + a + b = 17 + 6 + 2 = 25 which is not divisible by 3 --- Does not meet equation(i).Hence this is not the answer
if a=8 and b=2,
17 + a + b = 17 + 8 + 2 = 27 which is divisible by 3 --- Meet equation(i)
[3 + (b - a)] = [3 + (2 - 8)] = -3 which is neither 0 nor divisible by 11---Does not meet equation(ii).Hence this is not the answer
if a=6 and b=5,
17 + a + b = 17 + 6 + 5 = 28 which is not divisible by 3 --- Does not meet equation (i) .Hence this is not the answer
if a=8 and b=5,
17 + a + b = 17 + 8 + 5 = 30 which is divisible by 3 --- Meet equation 1
[3 + (b - a)] = [3 + (5 - 8)] = 0 ---Meet equation 2
Since these values satisfies both equation 1 and equation 2, this is the answer
