1. What is the product of divisors of 7056 is
(a) (84)48
(b) (84)44
(c) (84)45
(d) None of these
Sol. (c)
Since, factors of 7056 = 24×32×72
Number of factors/divisors of 7056= (4+1) (2 + 1) (2 + 1)= 45
∴ Product of factors of composite number N = Nn/2
where, n = Number of factors of N
∴ Product of factors/divisors = (7056)45/2=(84)45

(d) 6
anand . kulkarni @ iim indore . net
Sol. (b)
The least number which is divisible by 6, 7 and 15 = LCM of 6, 7, 15
=210
So, the first number is 210 and the other numbers are the multiples of
21O i.e., 210. 420, 630, 840.
Hence. 4 numbers are lying between 1 and 1000.

daughter 2 yr hence will be
(a) 24 yr
(b) 26 yr
(c) 25 yr
(d) 36 yr
Sol. (b)
Let the present age of father be 3xand daughter be x
So, 4 yr ago, father's age and daughter's age was (3x - 4) and (x - 4)
respectively.
%&'( (
Therefore, =

3x - 4 = 4x - 16 ⇒ x = 12 yr
∴ Daughter’s present age, x = 12 yr

(a) 35 : 128
(b) 35 : 127
(c) 17 : 37
(d) 7 : 5
Sol. (a)
Given, A : B = 1 : 2 , B : C = 3 : 4 , C : D = 5 : 6
and D : E = 7 :8
A : B : C :D :E = (1 x 3 x 5 x 7) : (2 x 3 x 5 x 7) : (2 x 4 x 5 x 7) : (2 x 4 x 6 x
7) : (2 x 4 x 6 x 8)
∴ A : B : C : D : E = 105 : 210 : 280 : 336 : 384

number of students in all the three classes?
(a) 270
(b) 180
(c) 126

Sol. (b)
Let the initial students in class be 2x, 3x and 4x
Now, when 40 is added in each class.
New, number of students will be 4y, 5y and 6y.
Now, according to the question
2x + 40 = 4y ..........(i)
3x + 40 = 5y .........(ii)
and 4x + 40 = 6y ......(iii)
∴ On solving above equations
2x = 40
∴x = 20
Hence, total number of students= 2x + 3x + 4x = 9x = 9 x 20 = 180

12. P, Q and R invested ₹ 4000, ₹ 5000 and ₹ 6000, respectively in a
business and P gets 25% profit for managing the business, the rest of
the profit is divided by P, Q and R is proportion to their investment. If in
a year, P gets 200 less than Q and R together, then what is the total
profit for that year?
(a) ₹ 1500
(b) ₹ 2500
(c) ₹ 2000
(d) ₹ 1900
Sol. (c)
Since, P gets 25% for managing the business. Therefore, remaining 75%
is distributed in the proportion of their investment.
i.e., P : Q : P = 4 : 5 : 6
∴ 75% of total profit = 4x + 5x + 6x
)$&
Now, total profit = × 100 = 20x
.$
∴ P's share = 25% of 20x + 4x = 9x
Q's share = 5x and R’s share = 6x
According to the question,
(Q's share + R’s share) - (P's share) = 200
(5x + 6x) - 9x = 200
x = 100
∴ Total profit = 20x = 20 x 100 = ₹ 2000
