Q.162 Easy Numbers
Which of the following numbers is divisible by 11?
A 121
B 1234
C 5678
D 9876
Correct Answer:  A. 121
EXPLANATION

Using divisibility rule for 11: alternating sum of digits must be divisible by 11. For 121: (1-2+1) = 0, which is divisible by 11. Verification: 121 ÷ 11 = 11.

Q.163 Easy Numbers
If a number is divisible by both 6 and 8, what is the smallest such number?
A 24
B 48
C 12
D 36
Correct Answer:  A. 24
EXPLANATION

We need LCM(6, 8). 6 = 2×3, 8 = 2³. LCM = 2³×3 = 24. Therefore, 24 is the smallest number divisible by both 6 and 8.

Q.164 Easy Numbers
Find the HCF of 144 and 96.
A 12
B 24
C 48
D 36
Correct Answer:  C. 48
EXPLANATION

Using Euclidean algorithm: 144 = 96×1 + 48, 96 = 48×2 + 0. Therefore HCF = 48. Alternatively, 144 = 2^4×3^2 and 96 = 2^5×3. HCF = 2^4×3 = 48.

Q.165 Easy Numbers
If the sum of three consecutive integers is 45, what is the smallest integer?
A 13
B 14
C 15
D 16
Correct Answer:  B. 14
EXPLANATION

We need to find three consecutive integers that sum to 45, then identify the smallest one.

Step 1: Define the three consecutive integers

Let the smallest integer be \(x\). Then the three consecutive integers are:

\[x, \quad x+1, \quad x+2\]

Step 2: Set up the equation

The sum of these three integers equals 45:

\[x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 45\]

Step 3: Simplify and solve

Combine like terms:

\[3x + 3 = 45\]

Subtract 3 from both sides:

\[3x = 42\]

Divide by 3:

\[x = 14\]

Step 4: Verify

The three consecutive integers are 14, 15, and 16.

\[14 + 15 + 16 = 45 \,\checkmark\]

Answer: The smallest integer is \(x = 14\) (Option B)

Q.166 Easy Numbers
A number when divided by 8 leaves remainder 5. Which of the following could be the number?
A 29
B 37
C 45
D 53
Correct Answer:  A. 29
EXPLANATION

We need a number of the form 8k + 5. Check: 29 = 8(3) + 5 = 24 + 5. ✓

Test
Q.167 Easy Numbers
If x is a natural number such that x² = 169, what is the value of x?
A 11
B 12
C 13
D 14
Correct Answer:  C. 13
EXPLANATION

We need to find x where x² = 169. Taking square root: x = √169 = 13.

Test
Q.168 Easy Numbers
What is the least common multiple (LCM) of 12, 18, and 24?
A 36
B 48
C 60
D 72
Correct Answer:  D. 72
EXPLANATION

12 = 2² × 3, 18 = 2 × 3², 24 = 2³ × 3. LCM = 2³ × 3² = 8 × 9 = 72.

Test
Q.169 Easy Numbers
A number is multiplied by 5 and then 3 is subtracted from the result. The final answer is 47. What is the original number?
A 8
B 10
C 12
D 15
Correct Answer:  B. 10
EXPLANATION

Let the number be x. According to the problem: 5x - 3 = 47. Therefore, 5x = 50, so x = 10.

Test
Q.170 Easy Numbers
Which number is NOT divisible by 6?
A 72
B 84
C 90
D 104
Correct Answer:  D. 104
EXPLANATION

For divisibility by 6, number must be divisible by both 2 and 3. 104÷6 = 17.33... (not divisible). Others: 72, 84, 90 are all divisible by 6
