Q.12 Easy Numbers
Which of the following is a perfect square?
A 145
B 169
C 200
D 198
Correct Answer:  B. 169
Explanation:

This question asks us to identify which number is a perfect square (a number that equals an integer multiplied by itself).

Step 1: Understand Perfect Squares

A perfect square is a number that can be expressed as n × n where n is an integer.

\[\text{Perfect Square} = n^2\]
Step 2: Check Each Option

Test each option by finding if its square root is a whole number.

\[\sqrt{145} \approx 12.04, \quad \sqrt{169} = 13, \quad \sqrt{200} \approx 14.14, \quad \sqrt{198} \approx 14.07\]
Step 3: Verify the Correct Answer

Only 169 has a whole number square root.

\[13 \times 13 = 169\]

169 is a perfect square because 13 × 13 = 169, making the correct answer (B).

Q.14 Easy Numbers
If a number is multiplied by 8 and then 15 is subtracted, the result is 49. What is the number?
A 6
B 8
C 9
D 7
Correct Answer:  B. 8
Explanation:

This question asks us to find an unknown number based on a sequence of arithmetic operations performed on it.

Step 1: Set up the equation

Let the unknown number be x. According to the problem, when x is multiplied by 8 and then 15 is subtracted, the result is 49.

\[8x - 15 = 49\]
Step 2: Isolate the variable term

Add 15 to both sides of the equation to move the constant to the right side.

\[8x - 15 + 15 = 49 + 15\]
\[8x = 64\]
Step 3: Solve for the number

Divide both sides by 8 to find the value of x.

\[x = \frac{64}{8} = 8\]

The number is 8, which corresponds to answer choice (B).

Q.15 Easy Numbers
What is the average of the first 15 natural numbers?
A 7
B 8
C 8.5
D 9
Correct Answer:  B. 8
Explanation:

This question asks us to find the average value of the numbers 1 through 15.

Step 1: Identify the first 15 natural numbers

The first 15 natural numbers are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.

\[\text{Natural numbers} = 1, 2, 3, ..., 15\]
Step 2: Calculate the sum of first 15 natural numbers

Use the formula for sum of first n natural numbers: \[\text{Sum} = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}\]

\[\text{Sum} = \frac{15 \times 16}{2} = \frac{240}{2} = 120\]
Step 3: Calculate the average

Average is the sum divided by the count of numbers.

\[\text{Average} = \frac{\text{Sum}}{\text{Count}} = \frac{120}{15} = 8\]

The average of the first 15 natural numbers is 8.

Q.16 Easy Numbers
Find the remainder when 527 is divided by 15.
A 2
B 7
C 12
D 3
Correct Answer:  A. 2
Explanation:

This question asks us to find the remainder when 527 is divided by 15 using the division algorithm.

Step 1: Set up the division problem

We need to divide 527 by 15 and find what's left over.

\[527 \div 15\]
Step 2: Perform the division

Determine how many times 15 goes into 527 completely.

\[15 \times 35 = 525\]
Step 3: Calculate the remainder

Subtract the product from the original number to find the remainder.

\[527 - 525 = 2\]

The remainder when 527 is divided by 15 is 2, so the answer is (A).
