Q:

A number when divided by 779 gives a remainder 47. By dividing the same number by 19, what would be the remainder?

Answer

Number = ( 779 x a) + 47, where "a" is the quotient


           = (19 x 41 x a) + (19 x 2) + 9


           = 19 x (41a + 2) + 9


           = 19 x (New quotient) + 9

A) 5 B) 4
C) 3 D) 2

x + y = (2 + 0) = 2.

Q:

At a dinner party every two guests used a bowl of rice between them, every three guests used a bowl of dal between them and every four used a bowl of meat between them. There were altogether 65 dishes. How many guests were present at the party ?

A) 60 B) 74
C) 82 D) 58
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 60

Explanation:

Let,

no. of rice bowl = x
no. of dal bowl = y
no. of meat bowl = z

Then, x + y + z = 65 ....(1)

Also given that, 2x = 3y = 4z

substituting value of y & z in terms of x i.e. y = 2x/3 and z = x/2 in eq (1),
We get x = 30.

As 1 rice bowl is shared between 2 guests,
Therefore, there are 60 guests.
