Q:

How many remainders are possible if 16n is divided by 9 for any positive integral value of n ?

A) 1 B) 2
C) 3 D) 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3

Explanation:

When 16nis divided by 9, we have

 1619, remainder = 7  

1629, remainder = 4 

1639, remainder = 1 

1649, remainder = 7 

1659, remainder = 4 

1669, remainder = 1 

So, we have cyclicity of 3 factors i.e 7,4,1. 

Hence only 3 remainders are possible.

Q:

Mary is 12 years younger to Pinky. After 3 years, the ratio of their ages will be 5:8. If the present age of Sam is the sum of ages of Mary and Pinky, then what was the age of Sam 15 years back ?

A) 31 years B) 37 years
C) 46 years D) 29 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 31 years

Explanation:

Let the present age of Pinky be x years

 

Then the age of Mary is x - 12 years

 

After 3 years,

 

Ratio of  MaryPinky = x - 9x + 3 = 58

 

8x - 72 = 5x +15

 

=> 3x = 87

 

=> x = 29

 

=> Age of Pinky = 29 years

 

=> Age of Mary = 29 - 12 = 17 years

 

Present age of Sam = 29 + 17 = 46

 

Before 15 years Sam age = 46 - 15 = 31 years.

Q:

If A1, A2, A3, A4, ..... A10 are speakers for a meeting and A1 always speaks after, A2 then the number of ways they can speak in the meeting is 

A) 9! B) 9!/2
C) 10! D) 10!/2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 10!/2

Explanation:

As A1 speaks always after A2, they can speak only in  1st  to 9th places and 

 

A2 can speak in 2nd to 10 the places only when A1 speaks in 1st place 

 

A2 can speak in 9 places the remaining 

 

 A3, A4, A5,...A10  has no restriction. So, they can speak in 9.8! ways. i.e

 

when A2 speaks in the first place, the number of ways they can speak is 9.8!.

 

When A2 speaks in second place, the number of ways they can speak is  8.8!.

 

When A2 speaks in third place, the number of ways they can speak is  7.8!. When A2 speaks in the ninth place, the number of ways they can speak is 1.8!

 

 

 

Therefore,Total Number of ways they can  speak = (9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1) 8! = 92(9+1)8! = 10!/2
