Q.382 Medium Numbers
If 2^a = 32 and 3^b = 81, what is a + b?
A 7
B 8
C 9
D 10
Correct Answer:  C. 9
EXPLANATION

2^a = 32 = 2^5, so a = 5. And 3^b = 81 = 3^4, so b = 4. Therefore a + b = 5 + 4 = 9

Q.383 Medium Numbers
Two consecutive odd numbers multiply to give 195. What is their sum?
A 20
B 24
C 28
D 32
Correct Answer:  C. 28
EXPLANATION

Let numbers be x and x+2. Then x(x+2) = 195. x² + 2x - 195 = 0. Using formula: x = 13. Numbers are 13 and 15. Sum = 28

Q.384 Medium Numbers
What is the product of the divisors of 16?
A 64
B 256
C 512
D 1024
Correct Answer:  D. 1024
EXPLANATION

Divisors of 16: 1,2,4,8,16. Product = 1×2×4×8×16 = 1024. Or use formula: if n has d divisors, product = n^(d/2). Here d=5, so product = 16^2.5 = 1024

Q.385 Medium Numbers
The difference between a number and its one-third is 30. What is the number?
A 30
B 45
C 50
D 60
Correct Answer:  B. 45
EXPLANATION

Let number = x. Then x - x/3 = 30. So 2x/3 = 30, x = 45

Q.386 Medium Numbers
The sum of a number and its reciprocal is 2.5. What is the number?
A 1.5
B 2
C 0.5
D 3
Correct Answer:  B. 2
EXPLANATION

Let number be x. x + 1/x = 2.5. Multiply by x: x² - 2.5x + 1 = 0. x = (2.5 ± √(6.25-4))/2 = (2.5 ± 1.5)/2. x = 2 or 0.5.

Q.387 Medium Numbers
Which number is divisible by 11?
A 12321
B 12345
C 12346
D 12347
Correct Answer:  A. 12321
EXPLANATION

For divisibility by 11: alternate sum of digits. 12321: (1+3+1) - (2+2) = 5 - 4 = 1. Recheck: (1+3+1) - (2+2) = 5-4=1. Actually 1-2+3-2+1 = 1. Try: 1-2+3-2+1 = 1. Check: 12321/11 = 1120.09... Correct: (2+2) - (1+3+1) = 4-5 = -1, still divisible.

Q.388 Medium Numbers
Two numbers are in the ratio 3:5 and their HCF is 4. Find their sum.
A 28
B 32
C 36
D 40
Correct Answer:  B. 32
EXPLANATION

Let numbers be 3k and 5k where HCF(3k, 5k) = k = 4. Numbers are 12 and 20. Sum = 32.

Q.389 Medium Numbers
If the sum of two numbers is 20 and their product is 96, what is the difference between them?
A 2
B 4
C 6
D 8
Correct Answer:  B. 4
EXPLANATION

Let numbers be a and b. (a+b)² - 4ab = (a-b)². So (a-b)² = 400 - 384 = 16, thus |a-b| = 4.

Q.390 Medium Numbers
How many numbers between 1 and 100 are divisible by both 6 and 9?
A 5
B 6
C 7
D 8
Correct Answer:  A. 5
EXPLANATION

Numbers divisible by both 6 and 9 must be divisible by LCM(6,9) = 18. Between 1-100: 18, 36, 54, 72, 90. Count = 5.
