- Question
- The sum of 5 consecutive odd numbers is 190. What is the sum of the largest and the smallest numbers?
Options- A. 75
- B. 77
- C. 76
- D. 73
- Correct Answer
- 76
ExplanationLet 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

Correct Answer: 21
Explanation:
Let 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
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: 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
Correct Answer: 1500
Explanation:
let the total number of sweet = N
According to the question
(N/250) - (N/300) = 1
? (6N - 5N) / 1500=1
? N = 1500
