Multiple choice maths fun with numbers some special sequences triangular numbers properties and patterns of perfect squares

$21^{2}-1$ is a product of two consecutive even numbers. Find those numbers.

  1. 21 and 22

  2. 22 and 24

  3. 20 and 22

  4. 22 and 23

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

$21^{2}-1 = 400$
we can express the above number into general form $a^{2}-1 = (a + 1)\times (a - 1)$
Where a = 21
So, $21^{2}-1 = (21 + 1)\times (21 - 1)$
= $22 \times 20 = 400$
Therefore, the two even consecutive numbers are 20 and 22.

$11^{2}-1$ is a product of two consecutive even numbers. Find those two even numbers.

  1. 12 and 22

  2. 12 and 13

  3. 10 and 12

  4. 12 and 14

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

$11^{2}-1 = 120$
we can express the above number into general form $a^{2}-1 = (a + 1)\times (a - 1)$
Where a = 11
So, $11^{2}-1 = (11 + 1)\times (11 - 1)$
= $12 \times 10 = 120$
Therefore, the two even consecutive numbers are 10 and 12.

Fill in the blanks:
$11^2 +8^2 + 3^2 = 19^2$
$12^2 + 2^2 + 10^2 = 14^2$
$14^2 + 7^2 $ + ____ = ____

  1. $7^2, 11^2$
  2. $14^2, 21^2$
  3. $7^2, 19^2$
  4. $7^2, 21^2$

D Correct answer
Explanation

From the pattern, the third number is the difference of the first two numbers.
The fourth number can be obtained by addition of the first two numbers.
Then, the missing numbers will be
$14^2 + 7^2 + 7^2 = 21^2$
So, $7^2, 21^2$ are the missing numbers.

If $Q 3 + Q _1 = 108, Q _3 - Q _1 = 74$; then Q.D is ______.

  1. $33$
  2. $3.7$
  3. $37$
  4. $0.68$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Quartile deviation divides the series into four equal parts and measures the distance average between the third and the first quartile. The first quartile is denoted as Q1 and the third quartile is denoted as Q3 .


Quartile deviation = (Q3-Q1) /2

                             = 74/2

                             = 37

Multiple choice maths concept of directed numbers and number line subtraction of directed numbers subtraction of integers subtraction of integers on number line

Instead of subtracting 32570 from a number . If 23570 is subtracted . Then what can we say about the answer ?

  1. Increased by 900

  2. Increased by 9000

  3. Decreased by 900

  4. Decreased by 9000

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Let the  number be $x$

We know, $32570>23570$

$\therefore$  $(x-32570)<(x-23570)$
$\Rightarrow$  The difference between the numbers $=32570-23570$
                                                                      $=9000$

$\therefore$  We can say that, instead of subtracting $32570$ from number, if $23570$ is subtracted, then the answer can be increase by $9000$
