- Question
What will be remainder when 17200 is divided by 18?
Options- A. 17
- B. 16
- C. 1
- D. 2
- Correct Answer
- 1
Explanation
When n is even. ( x n - a n ) is completely divisibly by ( x + a )(17200 - 1200) is completely divisible by (17 + 1), i.e., 18.
⟹ (17200 - 1) is completely divisible by 18.
⟹ On dividing 17200 by 18, we get 1 as remainder.

Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
6 x 12 men = 8 x 18 women = 18 x 10 children
? 12 men = 24 women = 30 children
? 2 men = 4 women = 5 children
Now, 4 men + 12 women + 20 children = 4 men + 6 men + 8 men = 18 men
Time to do remaining work in 1 man = (6 x 12 - 18 x 2) = 36 days
? Required number of men to finish the work in 1 days = 36
Correct Answer: 20
Explanation:
Solution 1.
Let the question solved correctly by Mohan = X ;
and number of question solved wrongly by Mohan = 30 - X ;
According to the question,
3X - (30 - X) x 2 = 40
? 3x - 60 + 2x = 40
? 5x - 60 = 40
? 5x = 40 + 60 ? x = 100/5 = 20
? Mohan attempted 20 questions correctly .
Solution 2.
Let the question solved correctly by Mohan = X ;
and number of question solved wrongly by Mohan = Y ;
According to given question;
X + Y = 30 ; -----------i
3X - 2Y = 40 ;-------ii
Now multiply the first equation by 2;
we will get
2X + 2Y = 60 ;--------iii
After Add the equation ii and iii , we will get
3X - 2Y + 2X + 2Y = 40 + 60 ;
? 5X = 100 ;
? X = 20;
? Mohan attempted 20 questions correctly .
Correct Answer: 3:2
Explanation:
Concentration of glucose are in the ratio =
Quantity of glucose taken from A = 1 liter out of 2
Quantity of glucose taken from B = 3/5 x 3 = 1.5 lit
Quantity of glucose taken from C = 0.8 lit
So, total quantity of glucose taken from A,B and C = 3.6 lit
So, quantity of alcohol = (2 + 3 + 1) - 3.6 = 2.4 lit
Ratio of glucose to alcohol = 3.6/2.4 = 3:2
Correct Answer: 15
Explanation:
Let quantity of mixture be x liters.
Suppose a container contains x units of liquid from which y units are taken out and replaced by Water. After operations , the quantity of pure liquid = units, Where n = no of operations .
So, Quantity of Milk =
Given that, Milk : Water = 9 : 16
=> Milk : (Milk + Water) = 9 : (9+16)
=> Milk : Mixture = 9 : 25
Therefore,
=> x = 15 liters
Correct Answer: 50 l
Explanation:
Let the tin contain 5x litres of liquids
=> 5(4x - 36) = 2(x + 36)
=> 20x - 180 = 2x + 72
=> x = 14 litres
Hence, the initial quantity of mixture = 70l
Quantity of liquid B
=
= 50 litres.
Correct Answer: 49 : 221
Explanation:
Copper in 4 kg = 4/5 kg and Zinc in 4 kg = 4 x (4/5) kg
Copper in 5 kg = 5/6 kg and Zinc in 5 kg = 5 x (5/6) kg
Therefore, Copper in mixture = kg
and Zinc in the mixture = kg
Therefore the required ratio = 49 : 221
Correct Answer: 25%
Explanation:
As water costs free, water sold at cost price of milk gives the profit.
Required profit % = 5/20 x 100 = 5 x 5 = 25%.
Correct Answer: 118.08L

Correct Answer: 1.25 kg
Explanation:
Let the initial amount of honey in the jar was K, then
or
Therefore, K = 1250
Hence initially the honey in the jar= 1.25 kg
