A Correct answer
Explanation

There are $470988$ books and are to be arranged in shelves.

Each shelf has $378$ books, So we need $\dfrac{470988}{378}$ shelves 
$\therefore$  We need $ 1246$ shelves.

  2. Subtraction

  3. Multiplication

  4. Division
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Repeated addition is also known as multiplication. If the same number is repeated then in short we can write that in the form of multiplication.
For example : $3+3+3+3+3$

Here $3$ is repeated $5$ times so in short we can write this addition as $3\times 5$

In the correctly worked out multiplication problem at the below, each letter represent a different digit. What is the value of B ?

A A
A B

   B B
A A C

A 3 B

  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 4

  4. 5
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

$B + C = B$

$C = 0$

AA.B $=$ BB $\Rightarrow $ (10 A + A) B $ = $BB= 10 B $+$ B

$AB = B,A = 1$

$ B+A = 3 $

$\Rightarrow B + 1 =3, \Rightarrow B = 2$

If $ \spadesuit \spadesuit \spadesuit = 18$, then $\spadesuit \spadesuit \spadesuit \spadesuit \spadesuit =$ ________.

  1. $18$
  2. $24$
  3. $30$
  4. $48$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

$\Rightarrow$  $\spadesuit\spadesuit\spadesuit=18$         [Given]

$\therefore$  $3\spadesuit=18$
$\therefore$  $\spadesuit=\dfrac{18}{3}=6$    ----( 1 )
$\Rightarrow$  $\spadesuit\spadesuit\spadesuit\spadesuit\spadesuit=5\spadesuit=5\times 6=30$   [ By using ( 1 ) ]
$\therefore$  $\spadesuit\spadesuit\spadesuit\spadesuit\spadesuit=30$

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 $\Rightarrow 998=a+(n-1)d$
$998=101+(n-1)3$
$(n-1)\not{3}={\not{897}} _{299}$
$n=300$.
$S _n=\dfrac{300}{2}(2(101)+(300-1)3)=\dfrac{300}{2}(202+897)$
$=164850$.

  1. n is an odd numbers

  2. n is prime

  3. sometimes a perfect square

$ Let\quad x=a(a+1)(a+2)(a+3)\ Now\quad whether\quad a\quad is\quad even\quad or\quad odd,\quad the\quad four\quad consecutive\quad number's\quad product\quad \ contain\quad 2,\quad 3,\quad 4\quad as\quad factors.\ \therefore \quad x\quad is\quad divisible\quad by\quad 2\times 3\times 4=24----(1)\ Option\quad A\longrightarrow Four\quad consecutive\quad numbers\quad contain\quad two\quad even\quad numbers.\ Therefore\quad product\quad is\quad even.\therefore \quad x+1\quad should\quad be\quad odd.\ Option\quad A\quad is\quad correct.\ Option\quad B\longrightarrow x\quad is\quad divisible\quad by\quad 24\quad (from\quad 1)\ Now\quad there\quad exists\quad no\quad prime\quad of\quad the\quad form\quad 24p+1\quad where\quad p\quad is\quad a\quad natural\quad number.\ e.g.\quad \quad 29=24\times 1+5\ \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad 31=24\times 1+7\ \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad 37=24\times 1+13\ With\quad increasing\quad count\quad the\quad second\quad term\quad increases\quad because\quad difference\quad between\ primes\quad increase\quad with\quad higher\quad count.\quad Therefore\quad x+1=n\quad is\quad not\quad a\quad prime\quad under\quad the\quad \ given\quad condition.\quad For\quad a\quad expanded\quad number\quad to\quad be\quad square,\quad the\quad first\quad and\quad last\quad term\ should\quad be\quad square\quad number.   Option\quad C\longrightarrow x=a(a+1)(a+2)(a+3)\ when\quad a\quad is\quad even\quad a=2p\ \therefore \quad x=2p(2a+1)(2a+2)(2a+3)\ \quad \quad \quad =4p(2p+1)(p+1)(2p+3)\ The\quad product\quad is\quad 4\times 1\times 1\times 3=12\ If\quad we\quad add\quad 1\quad then\quad last\quad term\quad of\quad the\quad product\quad is\quad 13\ which\quad is\quad not\quad a\quad square\quad number.\ So\quad x+1=n\quad is\quad not\quad a\quad square\quad number\quad when\quad a\quad is\quad even.\ (2)\quad When\quad a\quad is\quad odd-\ x=(2p+1)(2p+2)(2p+3)(2p+4)\ The\quad last\quad term\quad of\quad the\quad product\quad is\quad 1\times 2\times 3\times 4=24.\ 24+1=25\quad is\quad a\quad square\quad term.\ \therefore \quad n=x+1\quad is\quad a\quad square\quad number\quad when\quad a\quad is\quad odd.\ \therefore \quad Option\quad C\quad is\quad correct\quad when\quad a\quad is\quad odd.\ Option\quad D\longrightarrow \quad Obviously\quad option\quad D\quad is\quad not\quad correct. $
