Q.81 Medium Numbers
How many perfect squares are there between 100 and 200?
A 4
B 5
C 6
D 7
Correct Answer:  B. 5
Explanation:

Perfect squares between 100 and 200: 11² = 121, 12² = 144, 13² = 169, 14² = 196, 15² = 225 (exceeds 200).

So there are 4 perfect squares.

Wait: 10² = 100 (not between), so squares are 121, 144, 169, 196.

Count = 4.

Actually checking: we need squares from 11² to 14², which is 4 numbers.

Q.82 Medium Numbers
What is the remainder when 2^50 is divided by 5?
A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4
Correct Answer:  D. 4
Explanation:

To find the remainder when \(2^{50}\) is divided by 5, we use the Fermat's Little Theorem approach by finding the pattern of powers of 2 modulo 5.

Step 1: Find the pattern of powers of 2 (mod 5)

Calculate successive powers of 2 and their remainders when divided by 5:

\[2^1 \equiv 2 \pmod{5}\]
\[2^2 \equiv 4 \pmod{5}\]
\[2^3 \equiv 8 \equiv 3 \pmod{5}\]
\[2^4 \equiv 6 \equiv 1 \pmod{5}\]

The pattern repeats every 4 powers.

Step 2: Apply the cycle to find \(2^{50} \pmod{5}\)

Since the remainder repeats with period 4, divide the exponent by 4:

\[50 = 4 \times 12 + 2\]

This means \(2^{50}\) has the same remainder as \(2^2\).

Step 3: Calculate the remainder

\[2^{50} \equiv 2^2 \equiv 4 \pmod{5}\]

Answer: The remainder is \(4\) (Option D)

Q.83 Medium Numbers
Find the smallest number that when divided by 12, 15, and 20 leaves no remainder.
A 60
B 120
C 180
D 240
Correct Answer:  A. 60
Explanation:

We need LCM(12, 15, 20). 12 = 2² × 3, 15 = 3 × 5, 20 = 2² × 5. LCM = 2² × 3 × 5 = 4 × 3 × 5 = 60.

Q.84 Medium HCF and LCM
The HCF of two numbers is 15. If their LCM is 180, and one number is 45, find the other number.
A 45
B 60
C 75
D 90
Correct Answer:  B. 60
Explanation:

Using HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers: 15 × 180 = 45 × other number.

Therefore, other number = 2700 ÷ 45 = 60.

Q.85 Medium HCF and LCM
What is the HCF of 144 and 196?
A 4
B 8
C 12
D 16
Correct Answer:  A. 4
Explanation:

144 = 2⁴ × 3². 196 = 2² × 7².

Common prime factors: 2².

Therefore, HCF = 4.

Q.86 Medium HCF and LCM
Two numbers are in the ratio 4:5, and their HCF is 6. Find the larger number.
A 24
B 30
C 36
D 48
Correct Answer:  B. 30
Explanation:

Let numbers be 4k and 5k. HCF = k = 6.

Therefore, numbers are 24 and 30.

The larger number is 30.

Q.87 Medium HCF and LCM
The HCF of 56, 84, and 140 is:
A 14
B 28
C 7
D 4
Correct Answer:  A. 14
Explanation:

56 = 2³ × 7, 84 = 2² × 3 × 7, 140 = 2² × 5 × 7.

Common prime factors: 2 × 7 = 14.

Q.88 Medium HCF and LCM
What is the LCM of 16, 24, and 36?
A 72
B 108
C 144
D 216
Correct Answer:  C. 144
Explanation:

16 = 2⁴, 24 = 2³ × 3, 36 = 2² × 3². LCM = 2⁴ × 3² = 16 × 9 = 144.

Q.89 Medium HCF and LCM
If the HCF of two numbers is 18 and their LCM is 324, one number is 36. The other number is:
A 162
B 180
C 196
D 216
Correct Answer:  A. 162
Explanation:

HCF × LCM = Product of numbers. 18 × 324 = 36 × other.

Therefore, other = 5832 ÷ 36 = 162.

Q.90 Medium HCF and LCM
What is the greatest number that divides 110, 165, and 220 exactly?
A 11
B 22
C 33
D 55
Correct Answer:  D. 55
Explanation:

110 = 2 × 5 × 11, 165 = 3 × 5 × 11, 220 = 2² × 5 × 11.

Common factors: 5 × 11 = 55.
