(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) 2
(d) 10
Answer: (a) 0
Product of unit digits are
= 5 X 2 X 6
=60
∴ Required digit =0
Q22. The unit digit in (365 X 659 X 771) is
(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 3
(d) 4
Answer: (d) 4
365 = (34)16 X 3
The unit digit of 34 is 1
∴ The unit digit of (34)16 is 1
∴ The unit digit of 365 is 1 X 3 = 3
The unit digit of 659 is 6
The unit digit of 74 is 1. So unit digit in (74)17 is 1
Now 771 = (74)17 X 73 and unit digit in 73 is 3
∴ unit digit in 771 is 3
∴ Required unit digit = Unit digit in (3 X 6 X 3)
=unit digit in 54
=4
Q23. (45 + 46 + 47 + ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ + 113 + 114 + 115) = ?
(a) 5120
(b) 5570
(c) 5680
(d) 8650
Answer: (c) 5680
45 + 46 + 47 + ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ + 113 + 114 + 115
= (1 + 2 + ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ + 44 + 45 + 46 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ + 115) - (1 + 2 + 3 + ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ + 44)
=115(115 + 1) | − | 44(44 + 1) |
2 | 2 |
115 X 116 | − | 44 X 45 |
2 | 2 |
=115 X 58 - 22 X 45
=6670-990
=5680
Formula 1 + 2 + ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ + n = n(n+1) ÷ 2
Q24. A, B, C and D are four consecutive odd integers and their average is 32. What is the product of B and D ?
(a) 1085
(b) 1508
(c) 1805
(d) 1580
Answer: (a) 1085
Let the four integers are x+1, x+3, x+5, x+7
Nowx+1+x+3+x+5+x+7 | = | 32 |
4 |
=> | 4x + 16 | = | 32 |
4 |
=> 4x = (32 X 4) - 16
=> | x | = | 128 - 16 |
4 |
= | 112 |
4 |
=28
Now A = x+1 = 28+1 = 29
Now B = x+3 = 28+3 = 31
Now C = x+5 = 28+5 = 33
Now D = x+7 = 28+7 = 35
Product of B and D are 31 X 35 = 1085
Q25. A, B, C and D are four consecutive even integers and their average is 62. What is the product of A and C ?
(a) 3717
(b) 3771
(c) 3777
(d) None of the above
Answer: (a) 3717
Let A =x+2, B=x+4, C=x+6, D=x+8
Nowx+2+x+4+x+6+x+8 | = | 62 |
4 |
=> | 4x + 20 | = | 62 |
4 |
=> 4x = (62 X 4) - 20
=> | x | = | 248 - 20 |
4 |
= | 228 |
4 |
=57
A = 57 + 2 = 59
C = 57 + 6 = 63
A X C = 59 X 63 = 3717
Q26. 106 X 106 - 94 X 94 = ?
(a) 2000
(b) 2400
(c) 1904
(d) 1906
Answer: (b) 2400
106 X 106 - 94 X 94
=1062 - 942
=(106 + 94) (106 - 94)
=200 X 12
=2400
Q27.
5 | X | 2 | ÷ | 4 | ÷ | 6 |
6 | 9 | 9 | 7 |
(a) 0.44
(b) 0.32
(c) 0.49
(d) 0.36
Answer: (c) 0.49
5 | X | 2 | ÷ | 4 | ÷ | 6 |
6 | 9 | 9 | 7 |
5 | X | 2 | X | 9 | X | 7 |
6 | 9 | 4 | 6 |
35 |
72 |
=0.49
Q28. 8988 ÷ 8 ÷ 4 = ?
(a) 266.336
(b) 272.156
(c) 280.875
(d) 281.997
Answer: (c) 280.875
8988 ÷ 8 ÷ 4
=8988 X (1/8) X (1/4)
=8988 ÷ 32
=280.875
Q29. The sum and product of two numbers are 15 and 45 respectively. The sum of their reciprocals is
(a) 1/2
(b) 1/3
(c) 1/7
(d) 3/5
Answer: (b) 1/3
Let the numbers are a and b.
Now a+b = 15 and ab = 45
a+b | = | 15 |
ab | 45 |
a | + | b | = | 1 |
ab | ab | 3 |
1 | + | 1 | = | 1 |
b | a | 3 |
1 | + | 1 | = | 1 |
a | b | 3 |
Q30. The first prime number is
