1) Answer (d)

The least number which when divided by 25, 40 and 60 leaves the remainder 7
= L.C.M. (25,40,60) + 7
= 600 + 7 = 607

2) Answer (b)

Square root of 66049 = 257

Thus, unit's digit = 7

3) Answer (b)
E book GK (download pdf)
let the digits of the no. be X and Y
number = 10x+y
reverse of no. = 10y+ x
now (10x+y) - (10y+x) = 9x-9y = 9(x-y)
as shown above that 9 will always be the factor, irrespective of the difference and the number
so it can be concluded that the resulting number will always be divisible by 9

4) Answer (a)

Greatest 4 digit number = 9999

When 9999 is divisible by 307, remainder obtained = 132
Least number which must be added = 132
To verify, 9999+132 = 10131, which is divisible by 307.

5) Answer (a)

If a = 4011 and b = 3989

ab = 4011 * 3989 = (4000 + 11) (4000 - 11)
= 4000^{2} -11{^2}
= 16000000 - 121
= 15999879
