Q:

For how many integer values of n will the value of the expression 4n + 7 be an integer greater than 1 and less than 200?

A) 48 B) 49
C) 50 D) 51
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 50

Explanation:

1 < 4n + 7 < 200

n can be 0, or -1

n cannot be -2 or any other negative integer or the expression 4n + 7 will be less than1.

The largest value for n will be an integer < (200 - 7) /4

193/4 = 48.25, hence 48

The number of integers between -1 and 48 inclusive is 50

Q:

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 93. What is the middle number?

A) 31 B) 33
C) 29 D) 27
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 31

Explanation:

Let the three consecutive odd numbers be x, x+2, x+4

Then,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 93

=> 3x + 6 = 93

=> 3x = 87

=> x = 29 => 29, 31, 33 are three consecutive odd numbers.

 

Therefore, the middle number is 31.

Q:

Which expression is equivalent to i233?

A) i B) 1
C) -i D) -1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) i

Explanation:

We know that,

i2 = -1i3 = i2 x i = -1 x i = -ii4 = i2 x i2 = -1 x -1 = 1Hence, i233  =i4 x 58 + 1 = i232 x i1 = 1 x i = i

Q:

A straight fence is to be constructed from posts 6 inches wide and separated by lengths of chain 5 feet long. If a certain fence begins and ends with a post, which of the following could be the length of the fence in feet? (12 inches = 1 foot).

A) 17 B) 18
C) `19 D) 20
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 17

Explanation:

The fence will consist of one more post than there are chains. (e.g. P-c-P-c-P).

Therefore, a total length has to be a multiple of the length of the chain plus one post (5.5) plus one post extra.We have length = (5.5n + 0.5), where n can be any positive whole number. If n= 3, length =17

Q:

How many zeros are there from 1 to 10000 ?

A) 2893 B) 4528
C) 6587 D) 4875
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 2893

Explanation:

For solving this problem first we would break the whole range in 5 sections


1) From 1 to 9
Total number of zero in this range = 0


2) From 10 to 99
Total possibilities = 9*1 = 9 ( here 9 is used for the possibilities of a non zero integer)


3) From 100 to 999 - three type of numbers are there in this range
a) x00 b) x0x c) xx0 (here x represents a non zero number)
Total possibilities
for x00 = 9*1*1 = 9, hence total zeros = 9*2 = 18
for x0x = 9*1*9 = 81, hence total zeros = 81
similarly for xx0 = 81
total zeros in three digit numbers = 18 + 81 +81 = 180


4) From 1000 to 9999 - seven type of numbers are there in this range
a)x000 b)xx00 c)x0x0 d)x00x e)xxx0 f)xx0x g)x0xx
Total possibilities
for x000 = 9*1*1*1 = 9, hence total zeros = 9*3 = 27
for xx00 = 9*9*1*1 = 81, hence total zeros = 81*2 = 162
for x0x0 = 9*1*9*1 = 81, hence total zeros = 81*2 = 162
for x00x = 9*1*1*9 = 81, hence total zeros = 81*2 = 162
for xxx0 = 9*9*9*1 = 729, hence total zeros = 729*1 = 729
for xx0x = 9*9*1*9 = 729, hence total zeros = 729*1 = 729
for x0xx = 9*1*9*9 = 729, hence total zeros = 729*1 = 729
total zeros in four digit numbers = 27 + 3*162 + 3*729 = 2700
thus total zeros will be 0+9+180+2700+4 (last 4 is for 4 zeros of 10000)
= 2893

Q:

Find the remainder when 1234 x 1235 x 1237 is divided by 8.

A) 4 B) 2
C) 0 D) 6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 6

Explanation:

When we divide 1234 by 8, remainder is 2

When we divide 1235 by 8, remainder is 3

When we divide 1237 by 8, remainder is 5

---> 2 x 3 x 5 = 30 

As 30 will not be the remainder because it is greater than 8,

when 30 divided by 8, remainder = 6.
