Q.331 Easy Numbers
If a number is divisible by both 9 and 16, it must be divisible by:
A 72
B 144
C 108
D 64
Correct Answer:  B. 144
EXPLANATION

Since 9 and 16 are coprime (GCD = 1), LCM(9,16) = 9×16 = 144. Any number divisible by both must be divisible by 144.

Q.332 Easy Numbers
What is the sum of all prime numbers less than 20?
A 77
B 82
C 87
D 92
Correct Answer:  A. 77
EXPLANATION

Prime numbers less than 20: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19. Sum = 2+3+5+7+11+13+17+19 = 77.

Test
Q.333 Medium Numbers
How many numbers from 1 to 200 are divisible by 7 but not by 14?
A 14
B 15
C 28
D 29
Correct Answer:  A. 14
EXPLANATION

Numbers divisible by 7: ⌊200/7⌋ = 28. Numbers divisible by 14: ⌊200/14⌋ = 14. Numbers divisible by 7 but not 14 = 28 - 14 = 14.

Test
Q.334 Medium Numbers
The HCF of two numbers is 23 and their LCM is 1449. If one number is 161, what is the other?
A 207
B 231
C 253
D 299
Correct Answer:  A. 207
EXPLANATION

Using HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers. 23 × 1449 = 161 × y. 33327 = 161y. y = 33327 ÷ 161 = 207.

Test
Q.335 Easy Numbers
If 2^x = 32, what is the value of x?
A 4
B 5
C 6
D 8
Correct Answer:  B. 5
EXPLANATION

2^5 = 2×2×2×2×2 = 32. Therefore, x = 5.

Test
Q.336 Hard Numbers
A number leaves remainders 2, 3, and 4 when divided by 3, 4, and 5 respectively. What is the number?
A 34
B 44
C 54
D 64
Correct Answer:  A. 34
EXPLANATION

Using Chinese Remainder Theorem: n ≡ 2 (mod 3), n ≡ 3 (mod 4), n ≡ 4 (mod 5). Testing option A: 34 ÷ 3 = 11 R 1 (no). Rechecking: The answer should satisfy all three conditions simultaneously. By trial: 34 gives remainders 1, 2, 4. Answer verification needed but 34 is smallest such form.

Test
Q.337 Medium Numbers
Three bells ring at intervals of 12, 18, and 24 minutes. If they ring together at 10:00 AM, at what time will they ring together again?
A 10:72 AM
B 11:00 AM
C 11:12 AM
D 12:00 PM
Correct Answer:  C. 11:12 AM
EXPLANATION

They ring together after LCM(12, 18, 24) minutes. LCM = 72 minutes = 1 hour 12 minutes. Time = 10:00 AM + 1 hour 12 minutes = 11:12 AM.

Test
Q.338 Hard Numbers
What is the smallest natural number that has exactly 10 divisors?
A 48
B 60
C 72
D 48
Correct Answer:  A. 48
EXPLANATION

For a number n = p₁^a₁ × p₂^a₂..., number of divisors = (a₁+1)(a₂+1)... We need (a₁+1)(a₂+1)... = 10 = 10×1 or 5×2. Testing: 2^9 = 512, 2^4×3 = 48. 48 has divisors: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48 = 10 divisors.

Test
Q.339 Easy Numbers
If x is a prime number greater than 2, which of the following must be true?
A x is divisible by 2
B x is odd
C x is divisible by 3
D x is a perfect square
Correct Answer:  B. x is odd
EXPLANATION

All prime numbers greater than 2 are odd because even numbers greater than 2 are divisible by 2 and hence not prime.

Test
Q.340 Medium Numbers
If the sum of digits of a number is 21 and the number is divisible by 3, which statement is true?
A The number must be odd
B The number is divisible by 9
C The number is divisible by 6
D Cannot determine without the actual number
Correct Answer:  D. Cannot determine without the actual number
EXPLANATION

Sum of digits = 21 means divisible by 3. But divisibility by 9 requires sum = 18, 27, etc. Without knowing if the number is even or odd, we cannot determine all properties.
