$520=2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5 \times 13$
$936=2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 13$
Lcm of 520 and $936=2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 5 \times 13=4680$
Required number $=4680-17=4663$
$\mathrm{Lcm}$ of 10,15 and 18 is 90
We know the largest 4 digit no. is 9999
If we divide 9999 by 90 we get 9 as a remiander.
so, the required number $=9999-9=9990$
Lcm of 3,4,5 and 6 is 60
When we divide 2438 by 60 we get remainder as 23 .
Required number $=60-23=37$
While calculating the value of $95 \times 103$, a student writes $95 \times 103=$ $10000+10 a-15$. Then, what is the value of a ?
$95 \times 103=10000+10 a-15$
$(100-5)(100+3)=10000+10 a-15$
$10000-500+300-15=10000+10 a-15$
$10000-200-15=10000+10 a-15$
$10 a=-200$
$a=\frac{-200}{10}=-20$
Which least number should be added to 1510 to make it a perfect square?
Hence, If we add 11 in 1510 , It will be a perfect square.
Alternative method,
$
\begin{aligned}
&35^2<1510<40^2 \\
&40^2=1600 \\
&39^2=1521
\end{aligned}
$
Hence, If we add 11 in 1510 , It will be a perfect square.
If the 5-digit number 9x34y is divisible by 24 , then what is the maximum value of $(\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y})$ ?
$
24=3 \times 8
$
Divisibility of 8: If the last 3 digits of any number is divisible by 8 , the number will also be divisible by 8 .
So, $34 y$ is divisible by 8 , if $y=4$
Divisibility of 3: If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 3 , the number will also be divisible by 3 .
So, $9+x+3+4+4=20+x$
$20+x=21,24$ or 27
Since we need the largest value, So
$
20+x=27
$
$
x=7
$
Hence
$(x+y)=4+7=11$
$\mathrm{Lcm}$ of $10,15,24$ and 32 is 480
The number between 1420 and $1780=480 \times 3=1440$
Number when remainder in each case is $7=1440+7=1447$
Required sum $=1+4+4+7=16$
The sum of two numbers m and n is 84(m>n) and their difference is 6 . What is the ratio of the two numbers?
According to Question
$\begin{aligned}
&m+n=84 \\
&m-n=6
\end{aligned}
$
By substitution method we get
$
2 \mathrm{~m}=90
$
$
\mathrm{m}=45
$
Putting the value of $\mathrm{m}$ in equation 1
$
\begin{aligned}
&45+\mathrm{n}=84 \\
&\mathrm{n}=84-45=39
\end{aligned}
$
Ratio of the required number $=\frac{45}{39}=15: 13$
If a 10-digit number 643x1145y2 is divisible by 88 , then the value of (2 x−3 y) for the largest value of y is
$
88=8 \times 11
$
Any number is divisible by 8 when the last 3 digits of that number are divisible by 8.
$5 \mathrm{y} 2$ is divisible by 8, so $\mathrm{y}=9$ (for the largest value as 592 is divisible by 8 )
Now, the number is $643x114592$.
Any number is divisible by 11, when the difference between the sum of the digits at even places and that of those at odd places is either 0 or multiple of 11.
$
(6+3+1+4+9)-(4+x+1+5+2)=23-(12+x)
$
So, $\mathrm{x}=0$
$
∴(2 x-3 y)=(0-3 \times 9)=-27
$
If the number $6523678 \mathrm{pq}$ is divisible by 99 , the missing digits $p$ and $q$ are:
A number is divisible by 99 when it is divisible by 9 and 11 .
Any number is divisible by 9 when the sum of digits of that number are divisible by 9
$\Rightarrow(6+5+2+3+6+7+8+p+q)$ should be divisible by 9
$\Rightarrow(37+p+q)$ should be divisible by 9
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{p}+\mathrm{q}=8 \ldots(1)$
Any number is divisible by 11 when the difference between the sum of the digits at even places and that of those at odd places is either 0 or multiple of 11.
$
\Rightarrow(6+2+6+8+q)-(5+3+7+p)=11
$
$
\begin{aligned}
&\Rightarrow 22+q-15-p=11 \\
&\Rightarrow q-p=4 \ldots .(2)
\end{aligned}
$
Solving 1 and 2 we get
$
p=2, q=6
$
If $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}$ and $\mathrm{C}$ are digits and $A B \times 3=C A B$, then values of $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{C}$ are:
$A B \times 3=C A B$
${50}\times{3} =150$
$\mathrm{B}$ can only be 0 , So
$A \times 3=C A$
$5\times3=15$
By elimination method, only option (4) satisfies the equation.
Hence, option (4) is the correct answer.
Which of the following numbers is not divisible by 11 ?
Divisibility of 11 : If the difference between the sum of digits at odd places that of those at even places is either 0 or multiple of 11, then the number is divisible by 11.
Option (1), $(2+2+2)-(2+2+2)=6-6=0$
Option (2), $(3+3+3)-(3+3+3)=9-9=0$
Option (3), $(0+1+0+3)-(1+1+1+1)=4-4=0$
Option (4), $(0+1+0+3)-(1+0+1+1)=4-3=1$
Hence, 10011013 is not divisible by 11.
Which smallest number should be subtracted from 9222 to make it a perfect square?
Hence, If 6 is subtracted from 9222 , the will be a perfect square.
Alternative method,
$
\begin{aligned}
&95^2<9222<100^2 \\
&95^2=9025 \\
&96^2=9216
\end{aligned}
$
Hence, If 6 is subtracted from 9222 , the result will be a perfect square.
Which least number should be subtracted from 5935 to make it a perfect square?
Hence, If 6 is subtracted from 5935 , it will be a perfect square.
Alternative method :
$\begin{aligned}
&75^2<5935<80^2 \\
&76^2=5776 \\
&77^2=5929 \\
&5935-5929=6
\end{aligned}
$
Hence, If 6 is subtracted from 5935 , it will be a perfect square.
The unit digit of $\left(23^3+37^3\right)$ is:
To find unit digit, we need only the digit at ones place, So
$\left(3^3+7^3\right)=(27+343)=370$
Hence, Unit digit is 0 .
Which of the following is not a perfect square?
Trick : 2, 3, 7 and 8 can never be the unit digit of a perfect square. Hence, 3158 is not a perfect square.
Basic Method :
$
\begin{aligned}
\sqrt{2116} &=46 \\
\sqrt{2916} &=54 \\
\sqrt{3136} &=56 \\
\sqrt{3158} & \approx 56.2
\end{aligned}
$
Hence, 3158 is not a perfect square.
What is the difference between the greatest and smallest three digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 0, 2 , 5 and 6 without repetitions?
Greatest three digit number = 652
Smallest three digit number = 205
We cannot place 0 at the beginning of any number as it will not be counted as a digit of that number.
Hence, Difference = 652−205=447
Find the value of k in the number 3426k , if the number is divisible by 6 but not divisible by 5 .
$3426 k$ is divisible by $6$ , So the sum of its digits must be divisible by $3$ and the
unit digit can be $0,2,4,6,8$.
Since it is not divisible by $5$, the unit digit cannot be $0$ and $5$ .
Sum of digits = $3+4+2+6+k=15+k$
⇒$15+k=18,21 \\\ \& \\\ 24$
⇒$k=3, 6 \\\ \& \\\ 9$
Since the unit's digit should be $2,4,6,8$.
So, $k=6$
A college hostel mess has provisions for 25 days for 350 boys. At the end of 10 days, when some boys were shifted to another hostel, it was found that now the provisions will last for 21 more days. How many boys were shifted to another hostel?
After 10 days, the mess has provisions for 15 days for 350 boys.
Let $x$ boys were shifted to another hostel, then
$
\begin{aligned}
&15 \times 350=21 \times(350-x) \\
&350-x=250 \\
&x=100
\end{aligned}
$
Hence, 100 boys were shifted to another hostel.
A nine-digit number $89563x87y$ is divisible by 72 . What is the value of $\sqrt{7 x-3 y}$ ?
$
72=8 \times 9
$
Any number is divisible by 8 when the last 3 digits of that number are divisible by 8.
$87 \mathrm{y}$ is divisible by 8 so $\mathrm{y}=2$ (As 872 is divisible by 8 )
Now the number is $89563x872$
Any number is divisible by 9 when the sum of the digits is divisible by 9.
$
8+9+5+6+3+x+8+7+2=48+x
$
So, $x=6$
Now, $\sqrt{7 x-3 y}=\sqrt{7 \times 6-3 \times 2}$
$
