Q.321 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.322 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.323 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.324 Easy Numbers
Find the HCF of 144 and 180.
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.

Q.325 Medium Numbers
If a number is divisible by both 9 and 11, then it must be divisible by:
A 33
B 99
C 18
D 22
Correct Answer:  B. 99
Explanation:

Since 9 and 11 are coprime (HCF=1), a number divisible by both must be divisible by their product: 9×11 = 99.

Q.327 Medium Numbers
Find the number of divisors of 360.
A 20
B 24
C 26
D 28
Correct Answer:  B. 24
Explanation:

360 = 2³×3²×5¹. Number of divisors = (3+1)(2+1)(1+1) = 4×3×2 = 24.

Q.328 Easy Numbers
If the sum of two numbers is 50 and their difference is 10, find the larger number.
A 25
B 30
C 35
D 40
Correct Answer:  B. 30
Explanation:

Let numbers be x and y. x + y = 50 and x - y = 10. Adding: 2x = 60, so x = 30.

Q.329 Medium Numbers
Which number is divisible by 8?
A 1234
B 2456
C 3678
D 4890
Correct Answer:  B. 2456
Explanation:

A number is divisible by 8 if its last 3 digits form a number divisible by 8. 456 ÷ 8 = 57. So 2456 is divisible by 8.

Q.330 Medium Numbers
Find HCF(1071, 462) using Euclidean algorithm.
A 21
B 77
C 147
D 231
Correct Answer:  A. 21
Explanation:

1071 = 462×2 + 147; 462 = 147×3 + 21; 147 = 21×7 + 0. Therefore HCF = 21.
