APTITUDE QUESTIONS (NUMBER SYSTEMS):
16. How many natural numbers are there between 22 and 100 which are exactly divisible by 5?
A) 6
B) 12
C) 15
D) 13
E) None of these
View Answer
Answer: option (C)
Explanation:
The required numbers are 25, 30, 35, 40,…., 95.
This is an A.P. in which a = 25, d = 5 and l = 95
Let the number of terms in it be n
Then, tn = 95
- a + (n – 1)d = 95
- 25 + (n – 1) * 5 = 95
- (n – 1) * 5 = 70
- (n – 1) = 14
- n = 15
17. If the number 5 * 2 is divisible by 6, then * = ?
A) 9
B) 8
C) 2
D) 7
E) None of these
View Answer
Answer: option (C)
Explanation:
6 = 3 * 2.
So, 5 * 2 is divisible by 2.
Replace * by x
Then, (5 + x + 2) must be divisible by 3.
So, x = 2.
18. The sum of even numbers between 1 and 31 is:
A) 6
B) 128
C) 240
D) 512
E) None of these

Answer: option (C)
Explanation:
Let Sn = (2 + 4 + 6 + ….. + 30). This is an A.P. in which a = 2, d = 2, and l = 30
Let the number of terms be n. Then,
- a + (n – 1)d = 30
- 2 + (n – 1) * 2 = 30
- n = 15
∴ Sn = n/2 (a + l) = 15/2 * (2 + 30) = 15 * 16 = 240
19. Which one of the following cannot be the square of a natural number?
A) 32761
B) 81225
C) 32437
D) 20164
E) None of these
View Answer
Answer: option (C)
Explanation:
The square of a natural number never ends in 2, 3, 7 or 8
∴ 32437 is not the square of a natural number.
