Q:

The sum of all two digit numbers divisible by 5 is

A) 945 B) 678
C) 439 D) 568
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 945

Explanation:

Required numbers are 10,15,20,25,...,95
This is an A.P. in which a=10,d=5 and l=95.
Let the number of terms in it be n.Then t=95
So a+(n-1)d=95.
10+(n-1)*5=95,then n=18.
Required sum=n/2(a+l)=18/2(10+95)=945.

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

Q:

A boy multiplied 987 by a certain number and obtained 559981 as his answer. If in the answer both 98 are wrong and the other digits are correct , then the correct answer would be :

A) 553681 B) 555181
C) 555681 D) 556581
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 555681

Explanation:

987 = 3 * 7 * 47.
So, the required number must be divisible by each one of 3, 7, 47
553681 => (Sum of digits = 28, not divisible by 3)
555181 => (Sum of digits = 25, not divisible by 3)
555681 is divisible by each one of 3, 7, 47.

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.
