Q1. (A)
Value of can be or , i.e., must be in the range .
Q2. (A)
Let be any positive integer.
Taking as dividend and 3 as divisor, we can write as
, where is the quotient and is the remainder such that
If ,
If ,
If ,
When , then
[As is divisible by 3]
Similarly, when , then
[As is divisible by 3]
And when , then
[As is divisible
by 3]
square of any positive integer is either of the form or for some integer .
Q3. (D )
Required time minutes
Q4. (D )
will be an odd number because is sum of one even number and odd numbers.
Hence, will not be divisible by even number.

Q6. (C)

[ being an odd number will not be divisible by and is not divisible by ]
Q7. (D )
is an irrational number and is a rational number.
Subtracting a rational from an irrational number will result in an irrational number.
Q8. (C)
[Rational]
[Irrational]
Q9. (D )
Prime factors of must be of the form .
Q10. (B)
[As is even]
[As is odd]
i.e., when is odd natural number: .
Q11. (D )
Let
then, (i)
and (ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get,
.
Q12. (C)
Out of and , one is divisible by and the other by , hence, is divisible by . Also,
are three consecutive numbers, hence, one of them is divisible by .
must be divisible by . T his will be true for any even number .
Q13. (B)
Approach 1:
Assume values of and check if any one term out of is a multiple of any of the
given options. Eg:

1
3
4
8
We can observe that exactly one of them is always a multiple of .
Approach 2:
If is a natural number, then or , where is some positive integer.
Case I. When [ is even]
T hen,
and
We can see that are consecutive integers and hence, exactly one of them will be
a multiple of 3.
Similarly, we can prove for odd numbers by taking .
Q14. (A)
When is divided by , we can write this as:

By remainder theorem, when is divided by , the remainder

Here and and
Remainder .
Q15. (D )

Hence, is divisible by and .
