Q.421 Medium Numbers
What is the digital root of 9876?
A 24
B 12
C 6
D 3
Correct Answer:  D. 3
EXPLANATION

Digital root = 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 = 30 → 3 + 0 = 3.

Alternatively, since the sum is divisible by 9, the digital root is 9.

Wait: 9+8+7+6 = 30, 3+0 = 3.

So digital root is 3.

A number when divided by 7 leaves a remainder of 5. Which of these numbers satisfies this?
A 32
B 33
C 34
D 35
Correct Answer:  A. 32

Q.425 Medium Numbers
What is the sum of squares of first 5 natural numbers?
A 55
B 60
C 65
D 75
Correct Answer:  A. 55
EXPLANATION

Sum of squares = 1² + 2² + 3² + 4² + 5² = 1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 = 55.

Formula: n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 = 5×6×11/6 = 55

Q.426 Medium Numbers
If three consecutive integers have a sum of 81, what is the largest of the three?
A 26
B 27
C 28
D 29
Correct Answer:  C. 28
EXPLANATION

Let integers be n-1, n, n+1.

Sum = 3n = 81, so n = 27.

The three integers are 26, 27, 28.

Largest = 28

Q.427 Medium Numbers
The difference between two numbers is 45. If one number is twice the other, what are the numbers?
A 45 and 90
B 60 and 105
C 40 and 85
D 50 and 95
Correct Answer:  A. 45 and 90
EXPLANATION

Let smaller number = x, larger = 2x.

Then 2x - x = 45, so x = 45.

Numbers are 45 and 90.

Q.428 Medium Numbers
A number when increased by 25% becomes 500. What is the original number?
A 375
B 400
C 425
D 450
Correct Answer:  B. 400
EXPLANATION

Let original number = x.

Then x + 25% of x = 500.

So x + 0.25x = 500, 1.25x = 500, x = 400

Q.429 Medium Numbers
What is the sum of all even numbers from 2 to 50?
A 650
B 648
C 625
D 675
Correct Answer:  A. 650
EXPLANATION

Even numbers from 2 to 50: 2, 4, 6, ..., 50.

This is an AP with first term = 2, last term = 50, common difference = 2.

Number of terms = 25.

Sum = 25(2+50)/2 = 25 × 26 = 650

Q.430 Medium Numbers
If a number is multiplied by its successor and the result is 342, what is the number?
A 18
B 19
C 17
D 20
Correct Answer:  C. 17
EXPLANATION

Let number be n.

Then n(n+1) = 342.

Solving: n² + n - 342 = 0.

Using quadratic formula or testing: 17 × 18 = 306 (no), 18 × 19 = 342 (yes).

So n = 18.

Wait, checking: 17 × 18 = 306, 18 × 19 = 342.

Answer is B.
