1500

2.

Three numbers which are co-prime to each other are such that the product of the first two is 551 and that of the last two is 1073. The sum of the three numbers is:

   A.) 75
   B.) 81
   C.) 85
   D.) 89

Answer: Option 'C'

ince the numbers are co-prime, they contain only 1 as the common factor.
Also, the given two products have the middle number in common.
So, middle number = H.C.F. of 551 and 1073 = 29; First number = (551/29 ) = 19 ;
Third number = (1073 / 29) = 37
Therefore, Required sum = (19 + 29 + 37) = 85.

3.

A, B and C start at the same time in the same direction to run around a circular stadium. round in 252 seconds, B in 308 seconds and c in 198 seconds, all starting at the same point. After what time will they again at the starting point ?

   A.) 26 minutes and 18 seconds
   B.) 45 minutes
   C.) 46 minutes and 12 seconds
   D.) 42 minutes and 36 seconds

Answer: Option 'C'

L.C.M. of 252, 308 and 198 = 2772. 
So, A, B and C will again meet at the starting point in 2772 sec. i.e., 46 min. 12 sec

   A.) 13
   B.) 3
   C.) 23
   D.) 33

Answer: Option 'C'

L.C.M. of 5, 6, 4 and 3 = 60.
On dividing 2497 by 60, the remainder is 37.
Number to be added = (60 - 37) = 23.

12.

Find the highest common factor of 36 and 84.

   A.) 4
   B.) 6
   C.) 12
   D.) 18

Answer: Option 'C'

36 = 22 x 32
84 = 22 x 3 x 7 H.C.F. = 22 x 3 = 12.

13.

Three numbers which are co-prime to each other are such that the product of the first two is 551 and that of the last two is 1073. The sum of the three numbers is: 

   A.) 85
   B.) 75
   C.) 65
   D.) 60

Answer: Option 'A'

Since the numbers are co-prime, they contain only 1 as the common factor.
Also, the given two products have the middle number in common.
So, middle number = H.C.F. of 551 and 1073 = 29;
First number = 551/29 = 19; Third number = 1073/29 = 37.
Required sum = (19 + 29 + 37) = 85.

14.

Which of the following has the most number of divisors ?

   A.) 99
   B.) 176
   C.) 101
   D.) 182

Answer: Option 'B'

99 = 1 x 3 x 3 x 11
101 = 1 x 101
176 = 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 11
182 = 1 x 2 x 7 x 13
So, divisors of 99 are 1, 3, 9, 11, 33, .
99 Divisors of 101 are 1 and 101
Divisors of 176 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 44, 88 and 176
Divisors of 182 are 1, 2, 7, 13, 14, 26, 91 and 182.
Hence, 176 has the most number of divisors.

15.

The least number, which when divided by 12, 15, 20 and 54 leaves in each case a remainder of 8 is: 

   A.) 544
   B.) 548
   C.) 504
   D.) 536

Answer: Option 'B'

Required number = (L.C.M. of 12, 15, 20, 54) + 8
= 540 + 8
= 548.

18.

Let N be the greatest number that will divide 1305, 4665 and 6905, leaving the same remainder in each case. Then sum of the digits in N is:

   A.) 5
   B.) 6
   C.) 7
   D.) 4

Answer: Option 'D'

N = H.C.F. of (4665 - 1305), (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305) = H.C.F. of 3360, 2240 and 5600 = 1120.
Sum of digits in N = ( 1 + 1 + 2 + 0 ) = 4

19.

The least number which when divided by 5, 6 , 7 and 8 leaves a remainder 3, but when divided by 9 leaves no remainder, is: 

   A.) 1677
