Q.111 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.112 Easy Numbers
Find the HCF of 144 and 96.
A 12
B 24
C 48
D 36
Correct Answer:  C. 48
Explanation:

Using Euclidean algorithm: 144 = 96×1 + 48, 96 = 48×2 + 0. Therefore HCF = 48. Alternatively, 144 = 2^4×3^2 and 96 = 2^5×3. HCF = 2^4×3 = 48.

Q.113 Easy Numbers
If a number is divisible by both 6 and 8, what is the smallest such number?
A 24
B 48
C 12
D 36
Correct Answer:  A. 24
Explanation:

We need LCM(6, 8). 6 = 2×3, 8 = 2³. LCM = 2³×3 = 24. Therefore, 24 is the smallest number divisible by both 6 and 8.

Which of the following numbers is divisible by 11?
A 121
B 1234
C 5678
D 9876
Correct Answer:  A. 121
Explanation:

A 353
B 360
C 345
D 338
Correct Answer:  A. 353
Explanation:

Using the division algorithm: Number = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder. Number = (15 × 23) + 8 = 345 + 8 = 353.

A 12
B 18
C 36
D 24
Correct Answer:  C. 36
Explanation:

Using Euclidean algorithm: 180 = 144×1 + 36; 144 = 36×4 + 0. Therefore HCF = 36.
