- Question
- A number consists of two digits. The sum of the digit is 10. On reversing the digits of the number, the number decreases by 36. What is the product of the two digits?
Options- A. 21
- B. 24
- C. 36
- D. 42
- Correct Answer
- 21
ExplanationLet the unit digits of the number be N and 10s digit be M
? Number = 10M + N
According to the question
MN = 10 .......(i)
And 10N + M = (10M + N) - 36
? 10N + M - 10M - N = -36
? 9N - 9M = - 36
? N - M = -4 .......(2)
On Adding eq. (i) and (ii) we get
N + M = 10
N - M = - 4
2N = 6
? N = 3 and M = 7
? Required product of two digits = 3 x 7 = 21 - 1. If in a long division sum,the dividend is 380606 and the successive remainders from the first to the last are 434, 125 and 413, then the divisor is?

Correct Answer: 843
Explanation:
Let d = divisor and q = quotient
First remove the last remainder:
d x q + 413 = 380606
d x q = 380193
So d cannot be even (choice d) or a multiple of 5 (choice c).
If we try choice a or b,
a quick division (by calculator) shows that
380193 = 451 x 843, the other two choices.
(In the absence of choices, we could find the prime factors of 380193,
which are 3 x 11 x 41 x 281 and get various candidate divisors from that.)
So one of them is the divisor and the other the quotient.
So we can just check the first remainder:
843 x 4 = 3372
3806 - 3372 = 434 ... a match!
And just to be sure:
451 x 8 = 3608
3806 - 3608 = 198
So the divisor is 843.
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
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: Even values of n
Explanation:
For even values of n, the number (10n - 1 ) consists of even numbers of nines and hence it will be divisible by 11.
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
On dividing 1056 by 23, we get 21 as remainder
? Required number to be added = (23 - 21 ) = 2.
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
If sum of ODD positioned digits minus the sum of the EVEN positioned digits is divisible by 11 then the number is divisible by 11.
Sum of odd positioned digits - sum of even positioned digits = (9 + 2 + 5 + 6) - (7 + 1 + x) =14 - x
It must be divisible by 11. So x = 3.
Correct Answer: 76
Explanation:
Let the five consecutive number are N - 2, N - 1, N, N +1, N+2
Sum of numbers = 190
? N-2 + N -1 + N + N + 2 = 190
? 5N = 190
? N = 38
Sum of largest and smallest numbers = (N + 2) + (N - 2)
= 2N = 2 x 38
= 76
Correct Answer: 1/11
Explanation:
Given Exp. = (a2+ b2+ ab) / (a3-b3)
= 1 / (a - b)
= 1 / (16 - 5)
= 1/11.
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
Let the number be N
According to the question 5N = 2N2 - 3
? 2N2 - 5N -3 = 0
? (N - 3) (2N + 1) = 0
N = 3 & -1/2
Thus the required number is 3
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
Let the number be N
According to the question,
[N x (3/2)] - [N / (3/2)] =10
? 3N/2 - 2N/3 = 10
? (9N - 4N)/6 = 10
? 5N / 6 = 10
? N = (10 x 6)/5 =12
Correct Answer: none of the above
Explanation:
Sum of the five consecutive odd number = N + (N + 2) + (N + 4) + (N + 6) + (N + 8) =175
? 5N + 20 =175
? N = (175 - 20) / 5 = 31
Sum of the second largest and square of smallest one = (31 + 6) + (31)2
= 37 + 961=998
