Question 1
Two cubes of copper weigh 7410 grams and 9945 grams respectively.
The two cubes are melted separately to form coins of equals sizes.
What is the largest possible weight of each coin?
 A180
 B200
 36

 C195
 D255
Solution :

Correct answer
HCF of 7410 and 9945 is:
7410 = 19X13X5X2X3
9945 = 17X13X5X3X3
HCF is 13X3X5 =195
So, weight of largest possible coin is 195 grams.
Question 2
The ratio of two number is 4:5 and their HCF is 7, then find their LCM.
 A145
 B130
 C180
 D140
Solution :

Let the numbers are A and B.

Then, A: B = 4:5

and HCF = 7 (given)

Numbers are:

⇒A = 4*7 = 28

B = 5*7 = 35

LCM (35, 28) = 4*5*7 = 140

Question 3
5 bells start ringing together. If they ring at the differences of 4 sec, 5
sec, 8 sec and 15 sec respectively then after how much time they will
ring together?
 A1 min
 B3 min
 37

 C5 min
 D2 min
Solution :

Important Note: In such cases, we assume that first bell rings at t=0.
Required time = L.C.M of 4, 5, 8 and 15 = 120 sec
= 2 min

Question 4
A rectangular garden with dimensions of 20 ft and 14 ft has to be
divided into small equal squares such that no area is left. Find
minimum no of squares that can be made.
 A280
 B250
 C70
 D100
Solution :

For minimum no of squares, side must be maximum. We have to find

HCF of 20 and 14
20 = 2 X 2 X 5
14 = 2 X 7
HCF =2, so side of each square should be 2ft.
No. of squares = (20 X 14) / (2 X 2) = 70

Question 5
There are three numbers 25, 35 and 55. Find ratio of LCM and HCF of
these three numbers.
 A385:2
 B385:1
 C323:1
 D323:2
Solution :
 38

LCM (25, 35, 55) = 1925

HCF (25, 35, 55) = 5

Ratio of LCM and HCF = = 385:1

Question 6
Find the greatest number such that when 86,261,521 are divided by it,
it leaves the same remainder.
 A10
 B15
 C13
 D5
Solution :

261-86 = 175
521-261 = 260
521 – 86 = 435
HCF of 175,260,435 is:
175 = 5^2 X 7
260 = 2^2 X 13 X 5
435 = 5 X 87
So, HCF is 5
Question 7
Sum of two numbers is 228 and their H.C.F is 19 then how many pairs
are possible?
 A4
 B2
 C5
 D3
Solution :

Let numbers be 19a and 19b

19(a+b) = 228
a+b = 12
hence possible pairs are (1,11) (5,7)
Because in all other pairs numbers are not co-prime.

A boy is asked to find square root of a number but by mistake he finds
the square of number. If wrong answer is 216 times to right answer,
then what is product of digits of number?
 A60
 B36
 C24
 D18
Solution :

Let number be x
x 2 = 216 ×

= 216
∴ x = 36
product of digits of number is 3x6 = 18
Question 3
If P – Q is an integer, then which of these is necessarily true?
 A2P – Q is even
 BP – 2Q – 1 is even
 C2(P – Q) + 1 is odd
 DP – 2Q – 1 is odd
Solution :
 40

P – Q is an integer, P and Q may be even or odd

Now in 2P – Q, 2P is even but 2P – Q is not necessarily even as it will
depend on Q
In P – 2Q – 1, 2Q is even but P – 2Q – 1 is not necessarily even as it
will depend on P
In 2(P – Q) + 1, 2(P – Q) is necessarily even and adding 1 to it will
make it odd.
In P – 2Q – 1, 2Q is even but P – 2Q – 1 is not necessarily odd as it
will depend on P
What is the sum of all positive integers lying between 200 and 400 that
are multiples of 7?
 A8729
 B8700
 C8428
 D8278

First and last number which are multiple of 7 between 200 and 400 are
203 and 399 respectively.
Nth term of a series = a + (n – 1)d
399 = 203 + (n – 1)7
⇒ n = 57 – 29 + 1
= 29
Number of terms between 200 and 400 which are multiples of 7 = 29
Now, sum of these 29 terms = (a + l)

= 301 × 29
= 8729
Find out the wrong number in the series.
190 166 145 128 112
100 91
 A100
 B166
 C145
 D128

The pattern is:

190-24=166
166-21=145
 41

145-18=127 ≠ 128
127-15=112
112-12=100
100-9=91
Question 6
If first term of an arithmetic series is 14 and difference between two
consecutive terms is -3. Find the tenth term
 A37

number of such pairs.
 A4
B5
 C6
 D3
Solution :

Let the number be 67x and 67y

A.T.Q
Product of numbers = HCF x LCM
(67x) X (67y) = 67 X 2010
xy = 2010/67
xy=30
so the pairs be (1,30),(2,15),(3,10),(5,6).
Question 10
How many times the keys of a typewriter have to be pressed in order
to write numbers from 121 to 1346?
 A3675
 B4018
 C4021
 D4025
Solution :

Three digit numbers from 121 to 999(including both) = 879

And four digit numbers from 1000 to 1346 (including both) = 347
Since we need to press 3 times to type a three digit number and 4
times to type a four digits number, therefore, number of times the keys
of a typewriter have to be pressed in order to write numbers from 121
to 1346 = 879 × 3 + 347 × 4
= 4025

Question No : 1

What is the four digit number in which the first digit is 1/3 of the second, the third is
the sum of the first and second, and the last is three times the second?
A. 1349

B. 6286

C. 2686

D. 1341

Explanation
Discuss the solution

 First digit is 1/3 second digit => The numbers can be 1 & 3, 2& 6, 3 & 9.
First + second = third => we can eliminate 3 & 9 since 3 + 9 = 12.
Last is 3 times the second => we can eliminate option 2 & 6 since 3 * 6 = 18.
Hence the number is 1349.

Question No : 2

What least number must be added to 859622, to get a number exactly divisible by
456?
A. 485

B. 394

C. 62

D. 387

Explanation
Discuss the solution

 Dividend = Quotient * Divisor + Reminder

859622 / 456 gives quotient = 1885 and reminder = 62.
So, the next number divisible by 456 is 456 places infront of 456 * 1885
Which means 456 – 62 = 394 should be added to 859622.

A. 10

B. 11

C. 12

D. 13

Explanation
Discuss the solution

 3 consecutive numbers can be a - 1, a, a + 1

So sum of numbers = 3a = 36.
Hence a = 12.

Question No : 4

The difference between a two-digit number and the number obtained by

interchanging the digits is 36. What is the difference between the sum and the
difference of the digits of the number if the ratio between the digits of the number is 1
:2?
A. 6

B. 8

C. 4

D. 5

Explanation
Discuss the solution

 Let the number be xy.

Given xy – yx = 36.
This means the number is greater is than the number got on reversing the digits.
This shows that the ten’s digit x > unit digit y.
Also given ratio between digits is 1 : 2 => x = 2y
(10x + y) – (10y +x) = 36 => x – y = 4 => 2y – y =4.
Hence, (x + y) – (x – y) = 3y – y = 2y = 8
