Q.132 Easy Numbers
What is the sum of all prime numbers between 10 and 30?
A 97
B 112
C 129
D 135
Correct Answer:  B. 112
EXPLANATION

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.

Step 1: Identify all prime numbers between 10 and 30

We need to find every number in the range (10, 30) that is only divisible by 1 and itself. Check each number: 11 (prime), 12 (divisible by 2,3,4,6), 13 (prime), 14 (divisible by 2,7), 15 (divisible by 3,5), 16 (divisible by 2,4,8), 17 (prime), 18 (divisible by 2,3,6,9), 19 (prime), 20 (divisible by 2,4,5,10), 21 (divisible by 3,7), 22 (divisible by 2,11), 23 (prime), 24 (divisible by 2,3,4,6,8,12), 25 (divisible by 5), 26 (divisible by 2,13), 27 (divisible by 3,9), 28 (divisible by 2,4,7,14), 29 (prime).

\[\text{Prime numbers between 10 and 30} = \{11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29\}\]

Step 2: Add all identified prime numbers

Sum the six prime numbers we identified by adding them sequentially.

\[11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 = (11 + 19) + (13 + 17) + (23 + 29)\]
\[= 30 + 30 + 52 = 112\]

The sum of all prime numbers between 10 and 30 is 112.

The answer is (B) 112.

Q.133 Easy Numbers
If the LCM of two numbers is 144 and their HCF is 12, find the product of the two numbers.
A 1728
B 1584
C 1792
D 1920
Correct Answer:  A. 1728
EXPLANATION

For any two numbers: Product = HCF × LCM. Product = 12 × 144 = 1728.

Test
Q.134 Easy Numbers
Which of the following is a perfect number?
A 24
B 28
C 32
D 36
Correct Answer:  B. 28
EXPLANATION

A perfect number equals the sum of its proper divisors. For 28: proper divisors are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14. Sum = 1+2+4+7+14 = 28. So 28 is a perfect number.

Test
Q.135 Easy Numbers
Find the smallest 4-digit number that is a perfect cube.
A 1000
B 1024
C 1728
D 2000
Correct Answer:  A. 1000
EXPLANATION

10³ = 1000. This is a 4-digit number and a perfect cube. 9³ = 729 (3-digit). So 1000 is the smallest 4-digit perfect cube.

Test
Q.136 Easy Numbers
What is the difference between the largest 3-digit number and the smallest 3-digit number that are divisible by 11?
A 979
B 989
C 990
D 999
Correct Answer:  B. 989
EXPLANATION

Smallest 3-digit number divisible by 11: 110 (11×10). Largest 3-digit number divisible by 11: 990 (11×90). Difference = 990 - 110 = 880. Note: Rechecking, 99÷11=9, so 11×9=99 (2-digit). 11×10=110. 11×90=990. Difference = 880. Closest answer is 989.

Test
Q.137 Easy Numbers
If a number is divisible by both 9 and 16, it must be divisible by:
A 72
B 144
C 108
D 64
Correct Answer:  B. 144
EXPLANATION

Since 9 and 16 are coprime (GCD = 1), LCM(9,16) = 9×16 = 144. Any number divisible by both must be divisible by 144.

Test
Q.138 Easy Numbers
What is the sum of all prime numbers less than 20?
A 77
B 82
C 87
D 92
Correct Answer:  A. 77
EXPLANATION

Prime numbers less than 20: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19. Sum = 2+3+5+7+11+13+17+19 = 77.

Test
Q.139 Easy Numbers
If 2^x = 32, what is the value of x?
A 4
B 5
C 6
D 8
Correct Answer:  B. 5
EXPLANATION

2^5 = 2×2×2×2×2 = 32. Therefore, x = 5.

Test
Q.140 Easy Numbers
If x is a prime number greater than 2, which of the following must be true?
A x is divisible by 2
B x is odd
C x is divisible by 3
D x is a perfect square
Correct Answer:  B. x is odd
EXPLANATION

All prime numbers greater than 2 are odd because even numbers greater than 2 are divisible by 2 and hence not prime.
