Q.41 Medium Numbers
How many perfect squares are there between 100 and 200?
A4
B5
C6
D7
Correct Answer:  B. 5
Explanation:

Perfect squares between 100 and 200: 11² = 121, 12² = 144, 13² = 169, 14² = 196, 15² = 225 (exceeds 200).

So there are 4 perfect squares.

Wait: 10² = 100 (not between), so squares are 121, 144, 169, 196.

Count = 4.

Actually checking: we need squares from 11² to 14², which is 4 numbers.

A1
B3
C7
D9
Correct Answer:  C. 7
Explanation:

Last digits of powers of 3: 3¹=3, 3²=9, 3³=27(7), 3⁴=81(1), 3⁵=243(3)...

Pattern: 3,9,7,1 repeats every 4. 2023 = 4×505 + 3, so 3^2023 has same last digit as 3³, which is 7.

Q.46 Hard Numbers
If the sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 147, what is the largest number?
A47
B49
C51
D53
Correct Answer:  D. 53
Explanation:

Let the three consecutive odd numbers be x, x+2, x+4.

Sum: x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 147. 3x + 6 = 147. 3x = 141. x = 47.

The three numbers are 47, 49, 51.

Largest = 51.

Wait: let me recalculate. 3x + 6 = 147 means 3x = 141, x = 47.

So numbers are 47, 49, 51.

But option shows 53.

Let me verify: 47+49+51 = 147.

So largest is 51, which is option C.

A630
B630
C630
D660
Correct Answer:  A. 630
Explanation:

First 20 multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, ..., 60.

This is AP with a=3, d=3, n=20, l=60.

Sum = n(a+l)/2 = 20(3+60)/2 = 20×63/2 = 10×63 = 630.

Correct Answer:  A. 117
Explanation:

100 = 2² × 5².

Sum of all divisors = (1+2+4)(1+5+25) = 7 × 31 = 217.

Sum excluding 100 = 217 - 100 = 117.
