Q.61 Hard Numbers
Find the largest power of 5 that divides 100!
A 22
B 23
C 24
D 25
Correct Answer:  C. 24
Explanation:

Using Legendre's formula: floor(100/5) + floor(100/25) + floor(100/125) = 20 + 4 + 0 = 24.

Q.62 Hard Numbers
What is the remainder when 5^100 is divided by 13?
A 1
B 5
C 12
D 8
Correct Answer:  A. 1
Explanation:

By Fermat's Little Theorem, since 13 is prime and gcd(5,13)=1, we have 5^12 ≡ 1 (mod 13). 100 = 12×8 + 4. So 5^100 ≡ 5^4 (mod 13). 5^4 = 625 = 48×13 + 1 ≡ 1 (mod 13).

Q.64 Hard Numbers
A number when divided by 7 gives remainder 4. When the same number is divided by 11, it gives remainder 6. What is the number if it lies between 1 and 100?
A 32
B 39
C 46
D 53
Correct Answer:  B. 39
Explanation:

We need to find a number that satisfies two remainder conditions simultaneously. This is a Chinese Remainder Theorem problem.

Step 1: Express the first condition

When the number is divided by 7, remainder is 4:

\[n = 7k + 4\]

where \(k\) is a non-negative integer.

This means \(n \in \{4, 11, 18, 25, 32, 39, 46, 53, 60, 67, 74, 81, 88, 95, ...\}\)

Step 2: Apply the second condition

The same number divided by 11 gives remainder 6:

\[n = 11m + 6\]

where \(m\) is a non-negative integer.

This means \(n \in \{6, 17, 28, 39, 50, 61, 72, 83, 94, ...\}\)

Step 3: Find the common value

We need a number that appears in both lists and lies between 1 and 100.

From Step 1: \(\{4, 11, 18, 25, 32, 39, 46, 53, 60, 67, 74, 81, 88, 95\}\)

From Step 2: \(\{6, 17, 28, 39, 50, 61, 72, 83, 94\}\)

The common element is \(n = 39\).

Step 4: Verify the answer

\[39 \div 7 = 5\text{ remainder }4\] ✓

\[39 \div 11 = 3\text{ remainder }6\] ✓

Answer: The number is 39 (Option B)

Q.65 Hard Numbers
The sum of digits of a 3-digit number is 12. If the number is divisible by 9, what can be said about the number?
A It must be even
B It must be divisible by 3
C It must be odd
D It must be divisible by 6
Correct Answer:  B. It must be divisible by 3
Explanation:

A number is divisible by 9 if sum of its digits is divisible by 9. Here sum is 12, which is not divisible by 9. However, any number divisible by 9 is also divisible by 3. But the given condition states sum of digits is 12, and divisible by 9, which is contradictory. Re-reading: if divisible by 9, then sum must be divisible by 9. Since sum is 12 and divisible by 3, the number is divisible by 3.

Q.66 Hard Numbers
How many perfect squares lie between 1 and 1000?
A 30
B 31
C 32
D 33
Correct Answer:  B. 31
Explanation:

Perfect squares from 1 to 1000 are 1², 2², 3², ..., n² where n² ≤ 1000. So n ≤ √1000 ≈ 31.62. Therefore n can be 1, 2, 3, ..., 31. Total = 31 perfect squares.

Q.67 Hard Numbers
The product of two consecutive even numbers is 528. What is the larger number?
A 22
B 24
C 26
D 28
Correct Answer:  B. 24
Explanation:

Let the two consecutive even numbers be n and n+2. Then n(n+2) = 528. So n² + 2n - 528 = 0. Using quadratic formula or factoring: (n+24)(n-22) = 0. So n = 22 (taking positive value). The two numbers are 22 and 24. Larger = 24.

Q.68 Hard Numbers
If the digits of a number are reversed, the new number is 45 more than the original. If the difference of digits is 5, what is the original number?
A 27
B 38
C 49
D 61
Correct Answer:  A. 27
Explanation:

Let number = 10a + b. Reversed = 10b + a. Given: (10b + a) - (10a + b) = 45, so 9b - 9a = 45, thus b - a = 5. Also |a - b| = 5 or a - b = 5. From b - a = 5 and a - b could be -5 or 5. Testing: if b - a = 5 and digits sum conditions... Let a = 2, b = 7: number = 27. Reversed = 72. 72 - 27 = 45. ✓

Q.69 Hard Numbers
If a number leaves remainder 3 when divided by 5, what is the remainder when it is divided by 15?
A Cannot be determined
B 3
C 8
D Cannot be determined
Correct Answer:  D. Cannot be determined
Explanation:

When a number leaves remainder 3 when divided by 5, we can express it as \(n = 5k + 3\) for some integer \(k\). To find the remainder when divided by 15, we need to examine what values this number can take.

Step 1: Express the general form

Any number satisfying the given condition can be written as:

\[n = 5k + 3\]

where \(k\) is a non-negative integer.

Step 2: Test specific values

Let's substitute different values of \(k\) and find remainders when divided by 15:

- If \(k = 0\): \(n = 3\), remainder when divided by 15 is 3

- If \(k = 1\): \(n = 8\), remainder when divided by 15 is 8

- If \(k = 2\): \(n = 13\), remainder when divided by 15 is 13

- If \(k = 3\): \(n = 18\), remainder when divided by 15 is 3

Step 3: Analyze the pattern

The possible remainders are \(\{3, 8, 13, 3, 8, 13, \ldots\}\)

We get three different remainders: 3, 8, and 13 (cycling as \(k\) varies).

Step 4: Conclusion

Since the same condition (remainder 3 when divided by 5) can produce different remainders when divided by 15 depending on which specific number we choose, the remainder cannot be uniquely determined from the given information alone.

Answer: The remainder cannot be determined uniquely. (Option D)

Q.70 Hard Numbers
Find the smallest number that must be added to 5800 to make it a perfect square.
A 36
B 64
C 81
D 129
Correct Answer:  D. 129
Explanation:

To find the smallest number to add to 5800 to make it a perfect square, we need to find the smallest perfect square greater than 5800.

Step 1: Find the approximate square root of 5800

Calculate \(\sqrt{5800}\) to determine which perfect square is nearest:

\[\sqrt{5800} \approx 76.16\]

Since \(\sqrt{5800}\) lies between 76 and 77, the next perfect square will be \(77^2\).

Step 2: Calculate the next perfect square

\[77^2 = 5929\]

Step 3: Find the difference

The number we must add is:

\[5929 - 5800 = 129\]

Step 4: Verify the answer

Check that \(5800 + 129 = 5929 = 77^2\) ✓

Answer: The smallest number to be added is 129 (Option D)
