Q.369 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).

Q.370 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.
