SOLUTION ANALYSIS
Correct Option: D
Let number are a, b
ab = 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
\[\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{{\text{Possible}}\left( {a,\,b} \right){\text{pair of}}}&{{\text{Sum}}\left( {a + b} \right)} \\
{\left( {2,\,12} \right)}&{14} \\
{\left( {4,\,6} \right)}&{10} \\

Question 2 of 20
Hint
The sum of the digits of the least number which when divided by 36, 72, 80 and 88 leaves the remainders 16, 52, 60 and 68, respectively, is:
SOLUTION ANALYSIS
Correct Option: A
36 - 16 = 20
72 - 52 = 20
80 - 60 = 20
88 - 68 = 20
LCM of 36, 72, 80, 88 = 7920
Least number = 7920 - 20 = 7900
Sum of the digits = 7 + 9 + 0 + 0 = 16

Question 4 of 20
Hint
Arrangement of the fractions $$\frac{4}{3},\, - \frac{2}{9},\, - \frac{7}{8},\,\frac{5}{{12}}$$ into ascending order:
If 7-digit number 678p37q is divisible by 75 and p is not a composite, then the values of p and q are:
SOLUTION ANALYSIS
Correct Option: C
678p37q is divisible by 75 means it will be divisible by 25 & 3
If 678p37q is divisible by 25 then q = 5
Now check for 3
6 + 7 + 8 + 3 + 7 + q + p
$$ = \frac{{36 + p}}{3}$$
p = 3, 6, 9
Hence, option C is correct
Question 6 of 20
Hint
If each of the two numbers 516 and 525 are divided by 6, the remainders are R1 and R2 respectively. What is the value of $$\frac{{{{\text{R}}_1} + {{\text{R}}_2}}}{{{{\text{R}}_2}}}?$$
SOLUTION ANALYSIS
Correct Option: D
Given:
Two numbers 516 and 525 are divided by 6, the remainders are R1 and R2 respectively. Concept used:
If a number in the form of (b - 1)n is divided by b
Then,
Remainder = 1 if n is even number
Remainder = (b - 1) if n is an odd number Calculation:
$$\eqalign{
& {5^{16}} = {\left( {6 - 1} \right)^{16}} \cr
& {\text{So, remainder}} = \frac{{{{\left( {6 - 1} \right)}^{16}}}}{6} = 1\,{\text{i}}{\text{.e}}{\text{.,}}\,{{\text{R}}_{\text{1}}} \cr
& {\text{Again, }}{5^{25}} = {\left( {6 - 1} \right)^{25}} \cr
& {\text{So, remainder}} = \frac{{{{\left( {6 - 1} \right)}^{25}}}}{6} = \left( {6 - 1} \right) = 5\,{\text{i}}{\text{.e}}{\text{.,}}\,{{\text{R}}_{\text{2}}} \cr
& {\text{Now,}} \cr
& \frac{{{{\text{R}}_1} + {{\text{R}}_2}}}{{{{\text{R}}_2}}} = \frac{{1 + 5}}{5} = \frac{6}{5} \cr
& \therefore {\text{Required answer is }}\frac{6}{5} \cr} $$

Question 8 of 20
Hint
How many composite numbers ae there from 53 to 97?
Let x = 224 and y = 322. If the highest common factor of 23x and a × y is divisible by x and y, then what can be the possible value of a?
SOLUTION ANALYSIS
Correct Option: D
x = 224, y = 322
⇒ 23x = 23 × 224 = 23 × 16 × 14
⇒ ay = 322a = a × 23 × 14
⇒ If HCF of 23x and ay is divisible by x and y then,
23 × 16 × 14 = a × 23 × 14
a = 16

Question 19 of 20
Hint
If a certain number of two digit is divided by the sum of its digits, the quotient is 6 and the remainder is 3. If the digits are reversed and the resulting number is divided by the sum of the digits, the quotient is 4 and the remainder is 9. The sum of the digits of the number is
SOLUTION ANALYSIS
Correct Option: C
Let the number be 10x + y
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
∴ 10x + y = 6(x + y) + 3
⇒ 10x + y = 6x + 6y + 3
⇒ 10x - 6x + y - 6y = 3
⇒ 4x - 5y = 3 . . . . . . (i)
Again, 10y + x = 4(x + y) + 9
⇒ 10y + x = 4x + 4y + 9
⇒ 6y - 3x = 9
⇒ 2y - x = 3 . . . . . . (ii)
∴ By equation (i) + 4 × (ii),
4x - 5y = 3
8y - 4x = 12
$$\overline {3{\text{y}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 15} $$
⇒ y = 5
From equation (ii)
2 × 5 - x = 3
⇒ x = 10 - 3
⇒ x = 7
∴ Sum of digits = x + y = 7 + 5 = 12
