If the average of two numbers is 13 and the square root of their product is 12 , then the difference between the numbers is:
Let $a$ and $b$ be two numbers
According to question
$
\begin{aligned}
&\frac{a+b}{2}=13 \\
&a+b=26 \ldots . .(1) \\
&\text { Also, } \sqrt{a b}=12 \\
&a b=144
\end{aligned}
$
Now, $(a+b)^2=26^2$
$
\begin{aligned}
&a^2+b^2+2 a b=676 \\
&a^2+b^2+2 a b-4 a b=676-4 a b \\
&a^2+b^2+2 a b-4 a b=676-4 \times 144 \\
&a^2+b^2+2 a b-4 a b=676-576 \\
&(a-b)^2=100 \\
&a-b=10 \ldots .(2)
\end{aligned}
$
Solving (1) and (2)
$
a=18, b=8
$
Required number $=18-8=10$
The greatest number that will divide 398,437 and 5425 leaving 7,12 and 2 as remainders, respectively, is:
Numbers after substracting the remainder
$398-7=391$
$437-12=425$
$5425-2=5423$
We can write it
$391=17 \times 23$
$425=5 \times 5 \times 17$
$5423=11 \times 17 \times 29$
Hcf of 391,425 and $5423=17$
So, greatest number is $=17$
Which is the greatest number of seven digits, which when divided by 10, 15, 20, 24 and 30 , leaves the remainders 6, 11, 16, 20 and 26 , respectively?
Difference $= (10-6)=(15-11)=(20-16)=(24-20)=(30-26)=4$
LCM of $10,15,20,24$ and $30=120$
Number $=120 k-4$, which is closest to the largest 7 digit number 9999999.
$120 k=9999960$
Hence, number $=9999960-4=9999956$
What is the sum of the digits of the least number which when divided by 12,16 and 20 leaves the same remainder 6 in each case and it is divisible by 9 ?
LCM of $12,16$ and $20=240$
Required Number $=240 k+6$, Which is divisible by $9$
$240 k+6=234 k+6 k+6$
$234 k$ is completely divisible by $9$ , so $6 k+6$ too, has to be divisible by $9$.
If $k=2$, then $6 k+6$ is divisible by $9$.
Hence, Required number $=240 \times 2+6=486$
Sum of the digits $=4+8+6=18$
What is the average of eight smallest even natural numbers which are NOT divisible by 3 ?
As per the question,
Eight smallest even natural numbers which are NOT divisible by 3 $=2,4,8,10,14,16,20,22$
So, average of these numbers $=\frac{2+4+8+10+14+16+20+22}{8}$
$
=\frac{96}{8}=12
$
The least number of four digits divisible by 3,5,7 and 9 is:
Lcm of $3,5,7$ and $9$ is $315$.
four digits least number $=1000$
When we divide $1000$ by $315$ we get $55$ as remainder
$\Rightarrow 315-55=260$
Required number $=1000+260=1260$
The greatest number of six digits which is divisible by 42,44,26,39 and 40 is
LCM of $42,44,26,39$ and $40$ is $120120$
Now greatest $6$ digit number is $999999$
Now the greatest $6$ digit number is $=120120 \times 8=960960$
When a number is divided by 3,4,6,15 and 20 , the remainder in each case is 1 . Also, the number is the greatest 3 -digit number. The sum of the digits of the number is:
LCM of $3,4,6,15$ and $20$ is $60$
Greatest $3$ digit number $=999$
when we divide $999$ we get Remainder $39$
$3$ digit greatest number $=999-39=960$
When the number $961$ is divided by $3,4,6,15,20$ the remainder in each case is $1$
So, The number $=960+1=961$
Required sum $=9+6+1=16$
LCM of 28,32 and 56
$
\begin{aligned}
&28=2 \times 2 \times 7 \\
&32=2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \\
&56=2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 7
\end{aligned}
$
LCM of 28,32 and $56=2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 7=224$
To get the least perfect square we need to multiply 224 $\Rightarrow 224 \times 7 \times 2=3136$
Let two digit number be $10 \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}$
When the number are interchanged $=10 \mathrm{~b}+\mathrm{a}$
Required number $=10 \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}+10 \mathrm{~b}+\mathrm{a}$
$
\begin{aligned}
&=11 \mathrm{a}+11 \mathrm{~b} \\
&=11(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b})
\end{aligned}
$
Clearly, 11 is factor of $11(a+b)$.
The least number which when divided by 6,9,15,18 and 21 leaves a remainder 4 in each case, is:
LCM of $6.9,15,18$ and 21 is 630
The required no. is $630+4=634$
Which of the following numbers represents the descending order?
Descending order = 30.5 > 3.50 > 3.055 > 3.05 > 3.005 > 0.355
So, option (3) is correct.
A whole number is added to 50 and then the same number is subtracted from 50. The sum of the two numbers so obtained is
Let the whole number be x.
According to question,
(50 + x) + (50 - x)
=50 + 50 = 100
Let the number of total students be 'x '
According to question
Students playing Badminton=12x
Students playing Volleyball=14x
Students playing Tennis=18x
Students playing Chess=116x
Given
Number of students playing Volleyball=14x
160 ==14x
x=160×4
X=640
So, total no of students is640
The greatest four-digit number that when divided by 18,36 and 48 , leaves the same remainder 8 in each case, is:
LCM of 18,36 and 48 is 144.
Greatest 4 digit number $=9999$
when we divide 9999 by 144 we get Remainder 63
4 digit greatest number $=9999-63=9936$
When number is divided by 18,36 and 48 the remainder in each case is 8
So, The number $=9936+8=9944$
Let the two digit number is $10 x+y$
As per the question,
$
\begin{aligned}
&y=x+4 \\
&(10 x+y) \times(x+y)=370
\end{aligned}
$
Putting the value of $y$
$
\begin{aligned}
&(10 x+x+4) \times(x+x+4)=370 \\
&(11 x+4) \times(2 x+4)=370 \\
&11 x^2+26 x-177=0 \\
&11 x^2+(59-33) x-177=0 \\
&(11 x+59)(x-3)=0
\end{aligned}
$
By solving the equation we get $x=3$
Then $y=7$
So the number is 37 .
$
\begin{aligned}
&=\left(3 \frac{1}{7}+4 \frac{3}{7}\right)+\frac{7}{6} \\
&=\left(\frac{22}{7}+\frac{31}{7}\right)+\frac{7}{6} \\
&=\frac{53}{7}+\frac{7}{6} \\
&=\frac{318+49}{42}=\frac{367}{42} \\
&=\frac{318+49}{42}=\frac{367}{42} \\
\end{aligned}
$
$\frac{367}{42} $ is not a whole number .
So if we subtract $\frac{367}{42}$ from $\frac{31}{42}$ it becomes $=\frac{336}{42}=8$ which is a whole number .
In a division operation, the divisor is 8 times the quotient and 9 times the remainder. If the remainder is 24, what will be the dividend?
We know that
Dividend $=$ Divisor $\times$ Quotient $+$ Remainder
According to question
Divisor $=8 \times$ Quotient $=9 \times$ Remainder
So,
Divisor $=9 \times 24=216$
Quotient $=\frac{216}{8}=27$
Hence,
Dividend $=216 \times 27+24=5832+24=5856$
The sum of two numbers is 14 and the difference between them is 4. What will be the product of those two numbers?
Let the numbers are $x$ and $y$ , then
$x+y=14$ and $x-y=4$
So, $x=\frac{14+4}{2} = 9$
and $y=\frac{14-4}{2} = 5$
So, $x\times y=9\times5 = 45$
The difference between two integers is 1208. When the larger number is divided by the smaller number, the quotient is 4 and the remainder is 182. Which is the larger number?
Let the larger number be $a$ and the smaller number be $b$, then
$a-b=1208$
$a=b+1208$
and $a=4b+182$ , (As Dividend = Divisor$\times$Quotient + Remainder)
We can say that,
$b+1208=4b+182$
$3b=1026$
$b=342$
So larger number $a=342+1208 = 1550$
