Q:

There is a 3 digited number. 3rd digit is the square root of the 1st digit. 2nd digit is the sum of 1st and 3rd. And that number is divisible by 2,3,6,7. What is that number?

A) 121 B) 943
C) 462 D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 462

Explanation:

Assume that the number is taken as XYZ.
Condition 1 => Z = sq.root(x) => Possible digits of X is 1,4,9
Condition 2 => Y = X + Z
X Y Z
1 2 1
4 6 2
9 12 3 => (wrong because it is 4 digit.)

and 121 is not divisible by 2

The answer is 462.

A) 60 B) 26
C) 50 D) 64
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 60

Explanation:

Three digit number will have unit’s, ten’s and hundred’s place.

 

Out of 5 given digits any one can take the unit’s place.

 

This can be done in 5 ways. ...              (i)

 

After filling the unit’s place, any of the four remaining digits can take the ten’s place.

 

This can be done in 4 ways. ...              (ii)

 

After filling in ten’s place, hundred’s place can be filled from any of the three remaining digits.

 

This can be done in 3 ways. ... (iii) 

 

So,by counting principle, the number of 3 digit numbers = 5x 4 x 3 = 60

Q:

If 78K928L is divisible by 6, then which of the following can Q and R take ?

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

Explanation:

As per divisibility rule a number is divisible by 6 means it should be divisible by 2 and 3

case 1 : the divisibility rule for 2 is the number should be end with even number
in this case R =2 & R=4


case 2 : The divisibility rule for 3 is the sum of numbers should be divisible by 3
so if we take option (2) Q=1 & R=4 the sum is 39
if we take option (3) Q=1 & R=2 the sum is 37

So Option (2) is correct 39 is divided by 3

Q:

There is sufficient salary to give K for 10 days and L for 15 days. Then how many days will the money last if both has to be given the salary ?

A) 6 days B) 12 days
C) 4 days D) 9 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 6 days

Explanation:

K's 1 day's salary = 1/10
L's 1 day's salary = 1/15
Together their 1 day's salary = 1/10 + 1/15
= 3/30 + 2/30
= 5/30
= 1/6
So the money will be enough for paying them both for 6 days.
