Q:

If x and y are the two digits of the number 653xy such that this number is divisible by 80, then x+y is equal to  ?

A) 5 B) 4
C) 3 D) 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2

Explanation:

Since 653xy is divisible by 5 as well as 2, so y = 0.
Now, 653x0 must be divisible by 8.
So, 3x0 must be divisible by 8. This happens when x = 2
x + y = (2 + 0) = 2.

Q:

x = y - (50/y), where x and y are both > 0 

If the value of y is doubled in the equation above, the value of x will

A) decrease B) stay the same
C) increase four fold D) increase to more than double
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) increase to more than double

Explanation:

The best approach is to pick a number that satisfies the rules that x and y are greater than 0. So for example you could choose 25 for y.

The value of x before doubling is then 25 - 50/25 = 23

The value after doubling y will be 50 - 50/50 = 49, which is more than double.

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


\inline \fn_jvn \therefore  Required remainder = 9

Q:

What is the simplified result of following the steps below in order?

       1.Add 5y to 2x

       2.Multiply the sum by 3

       3.Substract x+y from the product

A) 5x + 14y B) 5x + 16y
C) 5x + 5y D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5x + 14y

Explanation:

Step 1 :2x + 5y

Step 2 :3(2x + 5y) = 6x + 15y

Step 3 :(6x + 15y) - (x +y) = 6x + 15y - x - y (watch that last minus sign!)

This gives 5x + 14y
