When a number is divided by 13, the remainder is 11. When the same number is divided by 17, then remainder is 9. What is the number ?
339
349
369
Data inadequate
Answer: Option
Explanation:

x = 13p + 11 and x = 17q + 9

13p + 11 = 17q + 9

17q - 13p = 2

q = 2 + 13p
17

The least value of p for which q = 2 + 13p is a whole number is p = 26
17

x = (13 x 26 + 11)

   = (338 + 11)

   = 349

(51 + 52 + 53 + ... + 100) = ?
2525
2975
3225
3775
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Sn = (1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 50 + 51 + 52 + ... + 100) - (1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 50)

    = 100 x (1 + 100) - 50 x (1 + 50)
2 2

    = (50 x 101) - (25 x 51)

    = (5050 - 1275)

    = 3775.
