- Question
The sum all even natural numbers between 1 and 31 is:
Options- A. 16
- B. 128
- C. 240
- D. 512
- Correct Answer
- 240
Explanation
Required sum = (2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 30)This is an A.P. in which a = 2, d = (4 - 2) = 2 and l = 30.
Let the number of terms be n. Then,
tn = 30 ⟹ a + (n - 1)d = 30
⟹ 2 + (n - 1) x 2 = 30
⟹ n - 1 = 14
⟹ n = 15
∴Sn = n (a + l) = 15 x (2 + 30) = 240. 2 2 - 1. The sum of first five prime numbers is:

Correct Answer: 28
Explanation:
Required sum = (2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11) = 28.
Note: 1 is not a prime number.
Definition: A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number that has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: 1 and itself.
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
√551 > 22
All prime numbers less than 24 are : 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23.
119 is divisible by 7; 187 is divisible by 11; 247 is divisible by 13 and 551 is divisible by 19.
So, none of the given numbers is prime.

Correct Answer: 15
Explanation:
Prime numbers less than 50 are:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47
Their number is 15
Correct Answer: 3775
Explanation:
S n = (1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 50 + 51 + 52 + ... + 100) - (1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 50)
| = | 100 | x (1 + 100) - | 50 | x (1 + 50) |
| 2 | 2 |
= (50 x 101) - (25 x 51)
= (5050 - 1275)
= 3775.
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
132 = 4 x 3 x 11
So, if the number divisible by all the three number 4, 3 and 11, then the number is divisible by 132 also.
264 → 11,3,4 (/)
396 → 11,3,4 (/)
462 → 11,3 (X)
792 → 11,3,4 (/)
968 → 11,4 (X)
2178 → 11,3 (X)
5184 → 3,4 (X)
6336 → 11,3,4 (/)
Therefore the following numbers are divisible by 132 : 264, 396, 792 and 6336.
Required number of number = 4.
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
Let the two consecutive even integers be 2 n and (2 n + 2). Then,
(2n + 2)2 = (2n + 2 + 2n)(2n + 2 - 2n)
= 2(4n + 2)
= 4(2n + 1), which is divisible by 4.
Correct Answer: 349
Explanation:
x = 13 p + 11 and x = 17 q + 9
∴ 13p + 11 = 17q + 9
⟹ 17q - 13p = 2
| ⟹ q = | 2 + 13p |
| 17 |
| The least value of p for which q = | 2 + 13p | is a whole number is p = 26 |
| 17 |
∴ x = (13 x 26 + 11)
= (338 + 11)
= 349
