Q.187 Easy Numbers
Find the remainder when 527 is divided by 15.
A 2
B 7
C 12
D 3
Correct Answer:  A. 2
EXPLANATION

To find the remainder when a number is divided by another, use the division algorithm: \(\text{Dividend} = \text{Divisor} \times \text{Quotient} + \text{Remainder}\)

Step 1: Set up the division

We need to express 527 in the form:

\[527 = 15 \times q + r\]

where \(q\) is the quotient and \(r\) is the remainder with \(0 \leq r < 15\).

Step 2: Divide 527 by 15

Perform the division:

\[527 \div 15 = 35.1\overline{3}\]

The quotient is \(q = 35\).

Step 3: Calculate the product

\[15 \times 35 = 525\]

Step 4: Find the remainder

Subtract the product from the dividend:

\[r = 527 - 525 = 2\]

Since \(0 \leq 2 < 15\), this is a valid remainder.

Verification:

\[527 = 15 \times 35 + 2 \checkmark\]

To find the remainder when 527 is divided by 15:

15×35=525

Now subtract:

527−525=2

Therefore, the remainder is 2.

Answer: The remainder is \(2\) (Option A)

Q.188 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.189 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).
