B Correct answer
Explanation

The numbers $1,3,5,7,9$ etc are called odd number which is not divisible by $2$ and any number which ends which these numbers are also called odd number. 

So, the numbers which are not multiples of $2$ are called odd.
Hence, the answer is odd.

Given that a, b are odd and c, d are even. Then,

  1. $\displaystyle a^{2}-b^{2}+c^{2}-d^{2}$ is always divisible by 4
  2. $abc + bcd + cda + dac$ is always divisible by 4
  3. $\displaystyle a^{4}+b^{4}+c^{3}+d^{3}+c^{2}b+a^{2}b$ is always odd
  4. $a + 2b + 3c + 4d$ is odd

D Correct answer
Explanation

Let $a=1, b= 3, c= 2, d = 4$
Option D
$a+2b+3c+4d$
1+6+6+16 =29 which is odd number
In other 3 option always not correct for different values for a, b , c, d

A book has pages numbered 1 to 192 (totally 96 sheets). Some 25 sheets are pulled out of it at random. Then, the sum of these 50 numbers cannot be

  1. $1001$
  2. $1567$
  3. $2008$
  4. $3003$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Each of the pulled out $25$ sheets will have an odd number and an even number, back to back.
Therefore, total of numbers on each sheet is odd.
Hence, total of numbers on $25$ sheets is also odd as
when odd number is multiplied to odd number always gives odd number.
Therefore, the total cannot be $2008$, which is even.

The value of $\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{1+1/2}}}$ on simplification is

  1. 5/8

  2. 6/7

  3. 7/8

  4. 8/6

A Correct answer
Explanation
$\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{2}}}}=\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{2+1}{2}}}}=$
=$\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{1+\frac{2}{3}}}= \frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{3+2}{3}}}$
=$\frac{1}{1+\frac{3}{5}}=\frac{1}{\frac{8}{5}}$
=$\frac{5}{8}$

a, b, c are even numbers and x, y, z are odd numbers. Which of the following relationships can't be justified at any cost?
(a) $\dfrac{a\times b}{c} = x\times y$ (b) $\dfrac{a\times b}{x}=yz$ (c) $\dfrac{xy}{z} = ab$

  1. Only B

  2. Only C

  3. All the three

  4. Only B and C
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

In option B a×b is always even & xyz is always odd therefore equality not holds.

In option C ab is always even therefore abz is also even & xy is always odd hence equality not holds.
In option A xy is always odd but (a×b)/c can be odd or even therefore equality can hold in this case.

If $a$ and $b$ are odd numbers, then which of the following is even?

  1. $a+b$
  2. $a+b+1$
  3. $ab$
  4. $ab+2$

  5. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
We know the following rule :

odd + odd = even,

even + even = even,

odd + even = odd,

even + odd = odd,

odd × odd = odd.

(A) The given expression is

a + b = odd + odd = even.

(B) The given expression is

a + b + 1 = odd + odd + odd = even + odd = odd.

(C) The given expression is

ab = odd × odd = odd.

(D) The given expression is

ab + 2 = odd × odd + 2= odd + even = odd.

Thus, the correct option is (A) a+b.
