In dividing a number by 585, a student employed the method of short division. He divided the number successively by 5, 9 and 13 (factors 585) and got the remainders 4, 8, 12 respectively. If he had divided the number by 585, the remainder would have been
24
144
292
584
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
 5 | x                z = 13 x 1 + 12  = 25
 --------------
 9 | y - 4            y = 9 x z + 8  = 9 x 25 + 8  = 233
 --------------
 13| z - 8            x = 5 x y + 4  = 5 x 233 + 4  = 1169
 --------------
   | 1 -12
  
  585) 1169 (1
       585
       ---
       584
       ---
       
  Therefore, on dividing the number by 585, remainder = 584.

The sum all even natural numbers between 1 and 31 is:
16
128
240
512
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Required sum = (2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 30)

This is an A.P. in which a = 2, d = (4 - 2) = 2 and l = 30.

Let the number of terms be n. Then,

tn = 30    a + (n - 1)d = 30

2 + (n - 1) x 2 = 30

n - 1 = 14

n = 15

Sn = n (a + l) = 15 x (2 + 30)   = 240.

Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b.

Then, a + b = 55 and ab = 5 x 120 = 600.

The required sum = 1 + 1 = a + b = 55 = 11
a b ab 600 120

In a flight of 600 km, an aircraft was slowed down due to bad weather. Its average speed for the trip was reduced by 200 km/hr and the time of flight increased by 30 minutes. The duration of the flight is:
1 hour
2 hours
3 hours
4 hours
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the duration of the flight be x hours.

Then, 600 - 600 = 200
x x + (1/2)

600 - 1200 = 200
x 2x + 1

x(2x + 1) = 3

2x2 + x - 3 = 0

(2x + 3)(x - 1) = 0

x = 1 hr.      [neglecting the -ve value of x]

Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Speed of the first train = ( 120 ( m/sec = 12 m/sec.
10

Speed of the second train = ( 120 ( m/sec = 8 m/sec.
15

Relative speed = (12 + 8) = 20 m/sec.

Therefore Required time = [ (120 + 120) ] sec = 12 sec.

A train 110 metres long is running with a speed of 60 kmph. In what time will it pass a man who is running at 6 kmph in the direction opposite to that in which the train is going?
5 sec
6 sec
7 sec
10 sec
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Speed of train relative to man = (60 + 6) km/hr = 66 km/hr.

   = 66 x 5 m/sec
18

   = 55 m/sec.
3

Time taken to pass the man = 110 x 3 sec = 6 sec.

A sum of money at simple interest amounts to Rs. 815 in 3 years and to Rs. 854 in 4 years. The sum is:
Rs. 650
Rs. 690
Rs. 698
Rs. 700
Your Answer: Option

Both I and II are not sufficient to answer
Both I and II are necessary to answer
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

I gives, h = 28 m and r = 14.

Capacity = r2h, which can be obtained.

Thus, I alone gives the answer.

II gives, r2 = 616 m2 and h = 28 m.

Capacity = (r2 x h) = (616 x 28) m3.

Thus, II alone gives the answer.

Correct answer is (C).
