Question 1 |
In a mess, there are number of students having fun with their meal. The total number of students in the Mess is a two digit number and that number is a prime number. Keeping this in mind, which of the following could be the ratio of boys vs number of girls
7: 8 | |
14: 15 | |
25: 26 | |
None of these |
Question 1 Explanation:
Given that the total number of students is a prime number,
the given ratio will be the exact number of boys and girl students,
so using the answer options, we can easily
find the ratio by adding and checking:
Option A: 7+8 = 15 not a prime number
Option C: 25+26 = 51, not a prime number
Option B: 14+15= 29 is a prime number, so option b is the right answer.

Question 2 |
How many fractions in the form of the (p/q) (q not equal to zero) are there between 3/4 and 4/5?
1 | |
56 | |
Infinite | |
None of these |
Question 2 Explanation:
The right answer is infinite because between two
rational numbers there exist infinite number of rational numbers
rational numbers there exist infinite number of rational numbers
Question 3 |
If we have two numbers r and r + 1 (both are prime numbers), then what can be said about r - 1?
It is a perfect number | |
It is a composite number | |
Its square is a composite number. | |
It has only 1 factor |
Question 3 Explanation:
It is given that r and r+1 are prime numbers.
This means r has to be 2, otherwise this is not possible.
r-1=1, and it is neither prime nor composite,
and it has only one factor.
This means r has to be 2, otherwise this is not possible.
r-1=1, and it is neither prime nor composite,
and it has only one factor.
Question 4 |
If p is prime number greater than 7 then what can we say about the divisibility of p2 -1?
Number divisible by 5 | |
Number is not divisible by 5 | |
Number must be divisible by 6 | |
None |
Question 4 Explanation:
Since it is given that the prime number which is greater than the 7, let us consider one such number: 11
So if p = 11 then p2 -1=120
which is divisible by 5,6
P=13, 169-1=168 not divisible by 5 but divisible by 6
P=17, 289-1=288 not divisible by 5 but divisible by 6
So the right answer is option 3.
which is divisible by 5,6
P=13, 169-1=168 not divisible by 5 but divisible by 6
P=17, 289-1=288 not divisible by 5 but divisible by 6
So the right answer is option 3.
Question 5 |
If s is the summation of a two digit number and the number formed by reversing its digits, then which of the following is correct about S?(i) S may be divisible by 11
(ii) S must be divisible by 11
(iii) S is an odd number
Only (i) and (ii) | |
Only (ii) | |
Only (ii) & (iii) | |
None of these |
Question 5 Explanation:
Let a two digit number be 'ab' = 10a + b (here a is not equal to 0)
S = (10a + b) + (10b + a) =11(a+b)
From this we can infer that S will always be divisible by 11, making statement (ii) correct.
And S is odd or even depends on (a+b),
because if it is even then S would be even and if it is odd then S would be odd as odd*odd=odd and odd*even=even.
S = (10a + b) + (10b + a) =11(a+b)
From this we can infer that S will always be divisible by 11, making statement (ii) correct.
And S is odd or even depends on (a+b),
because if it is even then S would be even and if it is odd then S would be odd as odd*odd=odd and odd*even=even.
