Evaluate $14 \times 16$ using even-even pattern.

  1. 354

  2. 244

  3. 444

  4. 224


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$14\times 16=(10+4)$$\times$$(10+6)$ 

$=$ $100+60+40+24$ $=$  $224$
Hence, Option D is correct.

Having $5$ at units place, find the square of the number $185$.

  1. $34225$

  2. $48034$

  3. $15620$

  4. $83450$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$185$ $=$ $(200-15)$

$185^{2}$ $=$ $(200-15)^{2}$
$(200-15)^{2}$ $=$ $200^{2}$ $+$ $15^{2}$ $-$ $2\times200\times15$
$185^{2}$ $=$ $40000$ $+$ $225$ $-$$6000$
$185^{2}$ $=$ $34225$
Hence, Option A is correct.

Evaluate $31 \times 33$ using odd-odd pattern.

  1. $423$

  2. $823$

  3. $923$

  4. $1023$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$31\times 33=(30+1)$$\times$$(30+3)$ 

$=$ $900+90+30+3$ $=$  $1023$
Hence, Option D is correct.

Evaluate: $11^2$

  1. $131$

  2. $60+61$

  3. $141$

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$11^{2}$ $=$ $(10+1)^{2}$ $=$ $100+1+20$

$=121$ $=$ $60+61$
Hence, Option B is correct.

Find the value of $15^2$.

  1. 224

  2. 125

  3. 112+113

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$15^{2}$ $=$ $(10+5)^{2}$ $=$ $100+25+100$

$=225$ $=$ $112+113$
Hence, Option C is correct.

Without adding the numbers, find the sum of 1 + 3 + 5 + 7.

  1. 16

  2. 15

  3. 14

  4. 12


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

There are 4 consecutive odd numbers.
We know the formula for consecutive odd numbers of their sum = $n^2$
So, Sum = $4^2$ = 16
So, 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 16.

The sum of first 13 consecutive odd numbers is ___.

  1. 196

  2. 169

  3. 13

  4. 81


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

We know the formula for consecutive odd numbers of their sum $= n^2$
So, Sum of $13$ consecutive odd numbers $= 13^2 = 169$

What is the series and also find the total of first $100$ consecutive odd numbers?

  1. $1 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 +... 100 = 12000$

  2. $2 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 9 + 11 +...100 = 10000$

  3. $1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 10 + 11 +....100 = 1000$

  4. $1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 +...100 = 10000$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sum of first $100$ consecutive odd numbers $= 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + ....+100 = 10000$
Since, we know the formula for sum of consecutive odd numbers $= n^2$
So, $n = 100$, Sum $= 100^2 = 10000$

Find the sum of two consecutive number for $13^2$.

  1. $84$ and $85$

  2. $83$ and $84$

  3. $86$ and $82$

  4. $81$ and $80$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Let the two consecutive numbers be, $\dfrac{n^{2} - 1}{2}$ and $\dfrac{n^{2} + 1}{2}$
$13^2= 169$
n = 13
$\dfrac{n^{2} - 1}{2} = \dfrac{13^{2} - 1}{2} = 84$
$\dfrac{n^{2} + 1}{2} = \dfrac{13^{2} + 1}{2} = 85$
So, the sum of two consecutive numbers = 84 + 85 = 169.

$21^{2}-1$ 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


Correct Option: C
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.
