Solution: For 567xy to be divisible by 30, y should be 0. A number will be divisible by 30 ,

if it is divisible by 3 and 10 (co prime). So total of this number should be divisible by 3,
possible value of x for which total will be divisible by 3 is 0. So ans- 0,0

2. Ans: [c]
Solution: Sudha has 3 kg tomatoes. Sudha used 1/3rd in cooking.
So, she is left with: 3 – 3 x 1/3 = 2kg
½ if this is used in mixed vegetables: i.e 1 kg
So, she is left with 1 kg tomatoes

3. Ans: [a]
Solution: 1= (3/4) (1+ (y/x)
So, 4/3 = x + y/ x
Solving this, we get, x = 3y

4 Ans: [a]
Solution: Solutioin: To start with ‘abcabc’ = ‘abc’ * 1001 or abc * 7 * 11 * 13 (This is a
critical idea to remember).
‘abc’ has only two factors. so, ‘abc’ has to be prime. Only a prime number can have exactly
two factors. (This is in fact the definition of a prime number)

So, ‘abcabc’ is a number like 101101 or 103103.

’abcabc’ can be broken as ‘abc’ * 7 * 11 * 13. Or, a p * 7 * 11 * 13 where p is a prime.

As we have already seen, any number of the form paqbrc will have (a + 1) (b + 1)(c + 1)
factors, where p, q, r are prime.

So, p * 7 * 11 * 13 will have = (1 + 1) * (1 + 1) * (1 + 1) * (1 + 1) = 16 factors

5 Ans: [a]
Solution: We have to take approximate values in equation:59.987/2.102+1.187*18.02
So, it will become : 60/2 + 1.2 x 18 = 52 approximately

6 Ans: [b]
Solution: First, divide the group of 6561 into 3 groups of 2187. Take two arbitrary groups
and weigh them. Either they will be imbalanced (in which case you've identified the group
with the heaviest ball), or they are equal, in which case you know the 3rd group has the
heaviest ball. Split the heaviest group of 2187 into 3 groups of 729, and continue on - so first
test 6561, then 2187, then 729, then 243, then 81, then 9, then 3 balls remain. You can
deduce which one is heaviest at this (7th) step in which 3 balls remain.

 Solution: From question, it is clear that value of x must be in decimals, and square of
decimal is always a smaller number itself. The smaller the number in the numerator, the
larger will be the value of the fraction

9 Ans: [c]
Solution: : as the number of plants in a row should be equal to number of rows, this
means, the trees should be planted in square format,
Let number of trees in a row be x, so the number of rows should also be x
Therefore, x2 = 7225
x = 85

701-800-> 20 times
801-900-> 20 times
901-1000-> 20 times
Total times: 300 times (any no. from 1 to 9 except 0 will occur 300 times)
7 based planet.. then
3*7^2 + 0*7^1 + 0*7^0 = 147

14 Ans: [C]
 Solution: let the digits be x and y. then the number is 10x+y
given: (10x+y)^2/[(10x+y)/2]=2(10x+y).
[2(10x+y)+36]/2=10y+x
or, 10x+y+18=10y+x
or, 9y=9x+18
or, y=x+2
now from 2nd part of question
x=2(y-x)
so by solving these two we get x = 4, and y = 6
so number is 46.

15 Ans: [A]
Solution: Let the number be xy

So number is 72
16 Ans: [B]
Solution: let x = the numerator of given fraction 
x+2 = the denominator 
given fraction: x/(x+2) 
reciprocal fraction: (x+2)/x 
new fraction: 
[(x+2)-3)]/x - x/(x+2) = 1/15 
solve for x: 
(x - 1)/x - x/(x+2) = 1/15 
15(x+2)(x-1) - 15x(x) = x(x+2) 
15x² + 15x - 30 - 15x² = x² + 2x 
x² - 13x + 30 = 0 
(x - 10)(x - 3) = 0 
x = 10 or x = 3 

if x=10, the fraction can be reduced 

if x=3, the given fraction is 3/5
So answer is 3/5.

 so, HCF = 12 , LCM = 311 
 LCM * HCF = product of two numbers = a*b => b = LCM * HCF / a 
 so, other = 12*311 / 24 = 155.5

Smaller number = 270.

19 Ans: [A]
Solution: Product of numbers = 11 x 385 = 4235
Let the numbers be 11a and 11b. Then, 11a x 11b = 4235
=> ab = 35
Now, co-primes with product 35 are (1,35) and (5,7)
So, the numbers are (11 x 1, 11 x 35) and (11 x 5, 11 x 7)
Since one number lies 75 and 125, the suitable pair is (55, 77)
Hence, required number = 77
20 Ans: [B]
Solution: Let the numbers be 3x and 5x.
then, (3x-9)/(5x-9) = 12/23
=> 23(3x - 9) = 12(5x - 9)
=> 9x = 99
=> x = 11.
 The smaller number = (3 x 11) = 33

21 Ans: [B]
Solution: Firstly we convert the fraction form to the natural number format
so, lcm of 2, 3, 7 and 11 is 462.
Therefore the numbers are now,
154, 231, 198, 168.
Now take the HCF of the number
so HCF of 154, 231, 198, 168 is 11.
Answer is 11.

13' 9" = 165"
17' 6" = 210"
21' 3" = 255"
HCF of all above = 15" = 1' 3"
So, Scale length must be 1 feet 3 inch

28 Ans: [C]
Solution: 12!=1*2*3*....12
So, clearly every prime less than 16 is a prime factor of it, so we first find primes less than
16.
They are: 2,3,5,7,11,
now find the highest power of 2, 3, 5, 7 & 11 in 12
highest power of 2 that divides 12! 10
highest power of 3 that divides 12! =5
highest power of 5 that divides 12! =2
highest power of 7 that divides 12! =1
highest power of 11 that divides 12! =1
So number of factors of 12!=(10+1)(5+1)(2+1)(1+1)(1+1)= 11*6*3*2*2 = 792

29 Ans: [C]
Solution: factors of 7056 is 24*32*72
number of factors = (4+1)*(2+1)*(2+1) = 45
Product of factors = 7056^(45/2)
Now it can be written as (2^90)(3^45)(7^45)
i.e = 84^45
30 Ans: [C]
Solution: 576 = 26 * 32 so, total number of factors are (a+1)(b+1)= 7*3 =21 factors. For,
each two factors we can get one way to write the number as a product of two different
factors. But as the two factors are to be distinct it should be (21-1)/2 = 10 ways

32. Ans: [B]
Solution: Any number of the form paqbrc will have (a + 1) (b + 1)(c + 1) factors, where p, q,
r are prime. (This is a very important idea)
N2 has 15 factors.
Now, 15 can be written as 1 * 15 or 3 * 5.

If we take the underlying prime factorization of N2 to be paqb, then it should have (a + 1) (b
+ 1) factors. So, N can be of the form

p14 or p2q4
p14 will have (14 + 1) = 15 factors
p2q4 will have (2 + 1) * (4 + 1) = 15 factors.

Importantly, these are the only two possible prime factorizations that can result in a number
having 15 factors.

Correct Answer: 6 or 8 factors.

33. Ans: [A]
Solution: Any number of the form paqbrc will have (a + 1) (b + 1) (c + 1) factors, where p,
q, r are prime. (This is a very important idea)
Now, the number we are looking for has 18 factors. It can comprise one prime, two primes
or three primes.

Now, 18 can be written as 1 * 18 or 3 * 6 or 9 * 2 or 2 * 3 * 3.

If we take the underlying prime factorization of N to be paqb, then it can be of the form
p1q8 or p2q5

If we take the underlying prime factorization of N to be pa, then it can be of the form
p17

If we take the underlying prime factorization of N to be paqbrc, then it can be of the form
p1q1r2
So, N can be of the form p17, p2q5, p1q8 or p1q2r2

Importantly, these are the only possible prime factorizations that can result in a number
having 18 factors.

Now, let us think of the smallest possible number in each scenario

p17 - Smallest number = 217
p2q5 – 32 * 25
p1q8 – 31 * 28
p1q1r2 – 51 * 31 * 22

The smallest of these numbers is 51 * 31 * 22 = 180

Solution: the last digit of the expression will be same as the last digit of 2^888+8^222.now
the last digit of 2^888 is 6 and the last digit of the 8^222 is 4.Thus the last digit of
2^888+8^22 is zero,since 6+4=10.
Correct Answer: 0

Solution: 1421, 1423 and 1425 gives 5, 7 and 9 as remainders respectively when divided
by 12.
Remainder [ (1421 * 1423 * 1425 ) / 12 ] = Remainder [ (5 * 7 * 9) ] / 12, gives a remainder
of 3.

38. Ans: [B]

Solution: 36 is divisible by 12, so anything that is divisible by 36 is also divisible by 12. So
here you are with this fictitious number, and when you divide it by 36 it leaves a remainder
of 19. So, when you divide it by 12 it will also have the remainder of 19. The only problem is,
you can't have a remainder of 19 when the number is 12, because that makes no sense.
However, when you divide 19 by 12, the remainder is 7, so when you divide your number by
12 it will leave the remainder of 7
39. Ans: []
Solution: 6^2=36 = 1mod7
6^2=36= 1mod7
6^16= (6^2)^8 =1^8= 1 mod7
6^17= (6^16)*6 = 16= 6 mod 7
6^17 = 6 mod 7

17= 3 mod 7
17^2 = 3∗3 = 2 mod 7
⟹17^4= (17^2)∗(17^2) = 2∗2 = 4 mod 7
⟹17^6 = (17^4)∗(17^2) = 4∗2 = 1 mod 7
17^6 = 1 mod 7
Now,  (6^17+17^6) = (6+1) = 0 mod
Thus the remainder when (6^17+17^6) is divided by 7 is 0.
