Q.811 Medium Numbers
What is the remainder when 2^100 is divided by 7?
A 1
B 2
C 4
D 6
Correct Answer:  B. 2
EXPLANATION

We find the pattern of powers of 2 mod 7: 2^1≡2, 2^2≡4, 2^3≡1 (mod 7). The cycle repeats every 3 terms. Since 100 = 33×3 + 1, we have 2^100 ≡ 2^1 ≡ 2 (mod 7).

Q.812 Hard Numbers
If the sum of divisors of a number n is 48 and the number itself is 20, is this possible? (Note: excluding the number itself from divisors)
A Yes, this is correct
B No, sum of proper divisors of 20 is 22
C No, sum of proper divisors of 20 is 32
D Cannot be determined
Correct Answer:  B. No, sum of proper divisors of 20 is 22
EXPLANATION

Divisors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20. Proper divisors (excluding 20): 1, 2, 4, 5, 10. Sum = 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 = 22, not 48.

Q.813 Hard Numbers
Find the smallest number greater than 100 that is divisible by 6, 8, and 9 simultaneously.
A 108
B 120
C 144
D 216
Correct Answer:  C. 144
EXPLANATION

We need LCM(6, 8, 9). 6 = 2 × 3, 8 = 2³, 9 = 3². LCM = 2³ × 3² = 8 × 9 = 72. Smallest multiple of 72 greater than 100: 72 × 2 = 144.

Q.814 Medium Numbers
A number leaves remainder 3 when divided by 7 and remainder 5 when divided by 11. Which number satisfies both conditions?
A 38
B 58
C 68
D 80
Correct Answer:  B. 58
EXPLANATION

For n ≡ 3 (mod 7): possible numbers are 3, 10, 17, 24, 31, 38, 45, 52, 59... For n ≡ 5 (mod 11): possible numbers are 5, 16, 27, 38, 49, 60... Common number is 58. Check: 58 = 7(8) + 2... Let me recheck: 58/7 = 8 rem 2, not 3. Try 38: 38/7 = 5 rem 3 ✓, 38/11 = 3 rem 5 ✓. Answer is A=38.

Q.815 Medium Numbers
What is the sum of all divisors of 20?
A 36
B 39
C 42
D 45
Correct Answer:  C. 42
EXPLANATION

20 = 2² × 5. Divisors are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20. Sum = 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 + 20 = 42.

Q.816 Medium Numbers
If a number is represented as 2³ × 3² × 5¹, how many divisors does it have?
A 18
B 20
C 24
D 30
Correct Answer:  C. 24
EXPLANATION

Number of divisors = (3+1)(2+1)(1+1) = 4 × 3 × 2 = 24.

Q.817 Medium Numbers
The product of two numbers is 120 and their GCD is 4. What is their LCM?
A 30
B 35
C 40
D 45
Correct Answer:  A. 30
EXPLANATION

We know that GCD × LCM = Product of the two numbers. So 4 × LCM = 120. Therefore, LCM = 120/4 = 30.

Q.818 Medium Numbers
A perfect square has how many odd divisors if the number is 144?
A 3
B 4
C 5
D 6
Correct Answer:  A. 3
EXPLANATION

144 = 2⁴ × 3². Odd divisors come only from 3² = (2+1) = 3 odd divisors: 1, 3, 9.

Q.819 Easy Numbers
If the sum of three consecutive integers is 45, what is the smallest integer?
A 13
B 14
C 15
D 16
Correct Answer:  B. 14
EXPLANATION

Let the integers be x, x+1, x+2. Then x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 45. So 3x + 3 = 45, thus 3x = 42, x = 14.

Q.820 Easy Numbers
A number when divided by 8 leaves remainder 5. Which of the following could be the number?
A 29
B 37
C 45
D 53
Correct Answer:  A. 29
EXPLANATION

We need a number of the form 8k + 5. Check: 29 = 8(3) + 5 = 24 + 5. ✓
