The sum of how many terms of the series 6 + 12 + 18 + 24 + ... is 1800 ?
16
24
20
18
22
Answer: Option
Explanation:

This is an A.P. in which a = 6, d = 6 and Sn = 1800

Then, n [2a + (n - 1)d] = 1800
2

  n [2 x 6 + (n - 1) x 6] = 1800
2

3n (n + 1) = 1800

n(n + 1) = 600

n2 + n - 600 = 0

n2 + 25n - 24n - 600 = 0

n(n + 25) - 24(n + 25) = 0

(n + 25)(n - 24) = 0

n = 24

Number of terms = 24.

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

This is an A.P. in which a = 51, l = 100 and n = 50.

Sum = n (a + l) = 50 x (51 + 100)   = (25 x 151)   = 3775.

1904 x 1904 = ?
3654316
3632646
3625216
3623436
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:
1904 x 1904 = (1904)2
= (1900 + 4)2
= (1900)2 + (4)2 + (2 x 1900 x 4)
= 3610000 + 16 + 15200.
= 3625216.

What is the unit digit in(795 - 358)?
0
4
6
7
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Unit digit in 795 = Unit digit in [(74)23 x 73]
= Unit digit in [(Unit digit in(2401))23 x (343)]
= Unit digit in (123 x 343)
= Unit digit in (343)
= 3

Unit digit in 358 = Unit digit in [(34)14 x 32]
= Unit digit in [Unit digit in (81)14 x 32]
= Unit digit in [(1)14 x 32]
= Unit digit in (1 x 9)
= Unit digit in (9)
= 9

Unit digit in (795 - 358) = Unit digit in (343 - 9) = Unit digit in (334) = 4.

So, Option B is the answer.
