Required number = (23 – 21) = 2

2) The largest 4-digit number exactly divisible by 88 is:

A
9944
.
B.9768
C.9988
D
8888
.
E. None of these

Largest 4-digit number = 9999

88) 9999 (113

Required number = (9999 - 55)

= 9944.

3) What is the unit digit in {(6374)1793 x (625)317 x (341491)}?

A. 0
B. 2
C. 3
D. 5
Unit digit in (6374)1793 = Unit digit in (4)1793
= Unit digit in [(42)896 x 4]
 = Unit digit in (6 x 4) = 4
Unit digit in (625)317 = Unit digit in (5)317 = 5
Unit digit in (341)491 = Unit digit in (1)491 = 1
Required digit = Unit digit in (4 x 5 x 1) = 0.

4) The difference of two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger number by the smaller, we get 6 as
quotient and the 15 as remainder. What is the smaller number?

A.240
B.270
C.295
D.360

Let the smaller number be x. Then larger number = (x + 1365).

x + 1365 = 6x + 15
5x = 1350
x = 270
Smaller number = 270.

5) If the number 517A324 is completely divisible by 3, then the smallest whole number in the place of “A”
will be:

A
0
.
B.1
C.2
D
None of these
.
Sum of digits = (5 + 1 + 7 + x + 3 + 2 + 4) = (22 + x), which must be divisible by 3.
x = 2.

6) The difference between the local value and the face value of 7 in the numeral 32675149 is

A
75142
.
B.64851
C.5149
D
69993
.
E. None of these
(Place value of 7) - (Face value of 7) = (70000 - 7) = 69993

7) On dividing a number by 56, we get 29 as remainder. On dividing the same number by 8, what will be the
remainder?

A.4
B.5
C.6
 D.7
Formula: (Divisor*Quotient) + Remainder = Dividend.
Soln:
(56 x Q) + 29 = D -------(1)
D/8 = R -------------(2)
From equation (2),
((56*Q) +2 9) / 8 = R.
=> Assume Q = 1.
=> (56+29) / 8 = R.
=> 85 / 8 = R
=> 5 = R.

8) On dividing a number by 5, we get 3 as remainder. What will the remainder when the square of the this
number is divided by 5?

A.0
B.1
C.2
D.4
Let the number be x and on dividing x by 5, we get k as quotient and 3 as remainder.
x = 5k + 3
x2 = (5k + 3)2
= (25k2 + 30k + 9)
= 5(5k2 + 6k + 1) + 4
On dividing x2 by 5, we get 4 as remainder.

9) A 3-digit number 4a3 is added to another 3-digit number 984 to give a 4-digit number 13b7, which is
divisible by 11. Then, (a + b) =?

A
10
.
B.11
C.12
D
15
.
4 a 3
+9 8 4
13 b 7
=> a + 8 = b ==> b - a = 8

Also, 13 b7 is divisible by 11 (7 + 3) - (b + 1) = (9 - b)
(9 - b) = 0
b=9
(b = 9 and a = 1) (a + b) = 10.

10) A number when divided by 296 leaves 75 as remainder. When the same number is divided by 37, the
remainder will be:

A
1
.
B.2
C.8
D
11
.
Let x = 296q + 75
= (37 x 8q + 37 x 2) + 1
= 37 (8q + 2) + 1
Thus, when the number is divided by 37, the remainder is 1.

11)In a division sum, the divisor is 10 times the quotient and 5 times the remainder. If the remainder is 46,
what is the dividend?

A
4236
.
B.4306
C.4336
D
5336
.
E. None of these
Divisor = (5 x 46) = 230
10 x Quotient = 230 230/10= 23
=
Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient) + Remainder
= (230 x 23) + 46
= 5290 + 46
= 5336.

12) 476AB0 is divisible by both 3 and 11. The non-zero digits in the hundred's and ten's places are
respectively:

A. 7 and 4
B. 7 and 5
C. 8 and 5
D. None of these
