Number System - Aptitude MCQ Questions and Solutions with Explanations

Answer: Option A

Divisor = 555 + 445 = 1000
Quotient = 2(555 - 445) = 220
Remainder = 30
As we know,
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
Dividend = 1000 × 220 + 30
Dividend = 220000 + 30
∴ Dividend = 220030

Answer: Option D

Given,
35, 48, 55
24, 35, 49
42, 55, 69
21, 32, 43
Concept used:
Co-prime numbers = Co-prime numbers are ones with just one common element, which is 1.
Calculations:
According to the question,
Factors of (35, 48, 55) = 5, 1
⇒ 35 = 5 × 7 × 1
⇒ 48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 1
⇒ 55 = 5 × 11 × 1
Factors of (24, 35, 49) = 7, 1
⇒ 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 1
⇒ 35 = 5 × 7 × 1
⇒ 43 = 7 × 7 × 1
Factors of (42, 55, 69) = 3, 1
⇒ 42 = 2 × 3 × 7 × 1
⇒ 55 = 5 × 11 × 1
⇒ 69 = 3 × 23 × 1
Factors of (21, 32, 43) = 1
⇒ 21 = 3 × 7 × 1
⇒ 32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 1
⇒ 43 = 43 × 1
∴ The set of number which are co-prime number are (21, 32, 43)

Answer: Option B

Let the three fractions be p, q and r, where p < q < r.
According to the question,
$$\eqalign{ & \frac{r}{p} = \frac{7}{6} \cr & \Rightarrow r = \frac{7}{6}p \cr & {\text{Again, middle fraction}} \cr & = q = \frac{7}{6} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{{7 - 2}}{6} = \frac{5}{6} \cr & \therefore p + q + r = 2\frac{{11}}{{24}} \cr & \Rightarrow p + \frac{5}{6} + \frac{7}{6}p = \frac{{59}}{{24}} \cr & \Rightarrow p + \frac{{7p}}{6} = \frac{{59}}{{24}} - \frac{5}{6} \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{6p + 7p}}{6} = \frac{{59 - 20}}{{24}} = \frac{{39}}{{24}} \cr & \Rightarrow 13p = \frac{{39}}{{24}} \times 6 = \frac{{39}}{4} \cr & \Rightarrow p = \frac{{39}}{{4 \times 13}} = \frac{3}{4} \cr} $$

Answer: Option C

Total number from 500 to 650 = 650 - 500 + 1 = 151
Total number from 500 to 650 which are divisible by 3
$$ = \frac{{650}}{3} - \frac{{500}}{3} = 216 - 166 = 50$$
Total number for 500 to 650 which are divisible by 7
$$ = \frac{{650}}{7} - \frac{{500}}{7} = 92 - 71 = 21$$
Total number from 500 to 650 which are divisible by 21
$$ = \frac{{650}}{{21}} - \frac{{500}}{{21}} = 30 - 23 = 7$$
Number neither divisible by 3 nor 7
= 151 - 50 - 21 + 7
= 151 - 71 + 7
= 80 + 7
= 87

Answer: Option A

3⁵⁰ + 9²⁶ + 27¹⁸ + 9²⁸ + 9²⁹
= 3⁵⁰ + 3⁵² + 3⁵⁴ + 3⁵⁶ + 3⁵⁸
= 3⁵⁰[1 + 3² + 3⁴ + 3⁶ + 3⁸]
= 3⁵⁰[1 + 9 + 81 + 729 + 6561]
= 3⁵⁰ × 7381
This no will be divided by 5, 7, 2, 50 it will be divisible by 11.
