What is the sum of all even numbers from 2 to 50?
A650
B648
C625
D675
Correct Answer:  A. 650
Explanation:

Even numbers from 2 to 50: 2, 4, 6, ..., 50.

This is an AP with first term = 2, last term = 50, common difference = 2.

Number of terms = 25.

Sum = 25(2+50)/2 = 25 × 26 = 650

Q.72 Medium Numbers
A number when increased by 25% becomes 500. What is the original number?
A375
B400
C425
D450
Correct Answer:  B. 400
Explanation:

Let original number = x.

Then x + 25% of x = 500.

So x + 0.25x = 500, 1.25x = 500, x = 400

Q.73 Medium Numbers
The difference between two numbers is 45. If one number is twice the other, what are the numbers?
A45 and 90
B60 and 105
C40 and 85
D50 and 95
Correct Answer:  A. 45 and 90
Explanation:

Let smaller number = x, larger = 2x.

Then 2x - x = 45, so x = 45.

Numbers are 45 and 90.

Q.74 Medium Numbers
If three consecutive integers have a sum of 81, what is the largest of the three?
A26
B27
C28
D29
Correct Answer:  C. 28
Explanation:

Let integers be n-1, n, n+1.

Sum = 3n = 81, so n = 27.

The three integers are 26, 27, 28.

Largest = 28

Q.75 Medium Numbers
What is the sum of squares of first 5 natural numbers?
A55
B60
C65
D75
Correct Answer:  A. 55
Explanation:

Sum of squares = 1² + 2² + 3² + 4² + 5² = 1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 = 55.

Formula: n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 = 5×6×11/6 = 55

Q.76 Medium Numbers
If a number is divisible by both 9 and 11, what is the smallest such three-digit number?
A198
B297
C396
D495
Correct Answer:  A. 198
Explanation:

LCM(9, 11) = 99 (since 9 and 11 are coprime).

Smallest three-digit multiple of 99 is 99 × 2 = 198.

Q.77 Medium Numbers
What is the sum of divisors of 20?
A36
B40
C42
D48
Correct Answer:  C. 42
Explanation:

20 = 2² × 5.

Sum of divisors = (1 + 2 + 4)(1 + 5) = 7 × 6 = 42.

Divisors are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20.

Q.78 Medium Numbers
A number when divided by 7 leaves a remainder of 5. Which of these numbers satisfies this?
A32
B33
C34
D35
Correct Answer:  A. 32
Explanation:

32 ÷ 7 = 4 remainder 4 (No). 33 ÷ 7 = 4 remainder 5 (No). 34 ÷ 7 = 4 remainder 6 (No). 32 = 7×4 + 5 = 28 + 5 (Yes). 32 ÷ 7 gives remainder 5.

Q.79 Medium Numbers
What is the digital root of 9876?
A24
B12
C6
D3
Correct Answer:  D. 3
Explanation:

Digital root = 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 = 30 → 3 + 0 = 3.

Alternatively, since the sum is divisible by 9, the digital root is 9.

Wait: 9+8+7+6 = 30, 3+0 = 3.

So digital root is 3.

Q.80 Medium Numbers
If two numbers have HCF = 15 and LCM = 180, and one number is 45, what is the other?
A60
B75
C90
D120
Correct Answer:  A. 60
Explanation:

Using HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers: 15 × 180 = 45 × x.

Therefore, 2700 = 45x, so x = 60.
