Find the least number in which multiplied by $1800$ given a perfect cube, then find the sum of the digits of that number.

  1. $2$
  2. $3$
  3. $6$
  4. $8$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
factor of $ 1800 - 10 \times 10\times 18 = 3\times 3\times 2\times 2\times 5\times 2\times 5 $

$ = 2^{3}\times 3^{2}\times 5^{2}$

for perfect cube we need $  3\times 5 = 15 $

So, sum of digits $(15) = 1+5=6$

so option (c) is right

The sum of all three-digit natural numbers which leave a remainder $2$ when divided by $3$

  1. $168450$
  2. $168850$
  3. $165840$

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
First three digit number leaves remainder $2$ is $101$
The next being $104, 107, 110$,...…
Last $3$ digit number $=998$
$\therefore 101, 104, …… 998$
$a=101, d=3$
$n^{th}$ term $\Rightarrow 998=a+(n-1)d$
$998=101+(n-1)3$
$(n-1)\not{3}={\not{897}} _{299}$
$n=300$.
$S _n=\dfrac{300}{2}(2(101)+(300-1)3)=\dfrac{300}{2}(202+897)$
$=164850$.
