Q:

How many remainders are possible if $16^{n}$ 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 $16^{n}$ is divided by 9, we have

$\frac{16^{1}}{9}$ , remainder = 7

$\frac{16^{2}}{9}$ , remainder = 4

$\frac{16^{3}}{9}$ , remainder = 1

$\frac{16^{4}}{9}$ , remainder = 7

$\frac{16^{5}}{9}$ , remainder = 4

$\frac{16^{6}}{9}$ , remainder = 1

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

Hence only 3 remainders are possible.

Q:

If log 64 = 1.8061, then the value of log 16 will be (approx)?

A) 1.9048	B) 1.2040
C) 0.9840	D) 1.4521

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1.2040

Explanation:

Given that, log 64 = 1.8061

i.e $\log (4^{3}) = 1.8061$

--> 3 log 4 = 1.8061

--> log 4 = 0.6020

--> 2 log 4 = 1.2040

$\Rightarrow \log (4^{2}) = 1.2040$

Therefore, log 16 = 1.2040

Q:

From a bunch of flowers having 16 red roses and 14 white roses, four flowers have to be selected. In how many different ways can they be selected such that at least one red rose is selected?

A) 27405	B) 26584
C) 26585	D) 27404

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 27404

Explanation:

Given total 16 Red roses and 14 White roses = 30 roses

Four flowers have to be selected from 30 i.e, $C_{4}^{30}$ = 27405 Ways

Now, atleast one Red rose is selected i.e, 27405(total) - 1(all four are white roses) = 27404 ways.

Q:

Two bike riders ride in opposite directions around a circular track, starting at the same time from the same point. Biker A rides at a speed of 16 kmph and biker B rides at a speed of 14 kmph. If the track has a diameter of 40 km, after how much time (in hours) will the two bikers meet?

A) 6.52	B) 8.14
C) 4.18	D) 5.02

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4.18

Explanation:

Distance to be covered = $πD$ = $40 π$ km

Relative speed of bikers = 16 + 14 = 30 kmph.

Now, $t i m e = \frac{d i s \tan c e}{s p e e d}$ = $\frac{40 π}{30}$ = 4.18 hrs.

Q:

The minimum number of half years in which a sum of money kept at 60% compound interest will be quadrupled is ?

A) 2	B) 4
C) 3	D) 6

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 6

Explanation:

Let us assume Amount be 100 Rs and we calculate in CI

First year 60% of 100 = 60 amount (100+60) is 160

Second year 60% of 160 = 96 amount (160+96) is 256

Third year 60% of 256 =153.6 amount (256+153.6) is 409.6

Here the Amount of 100 Rs is quadrapled in 3 years.

One year contains 2 half years

Three year has 6 half years.

Therefore, It takes 6 half years.
