APTITUDE QUESTIONS (NUMBER SYSTEMS):
21. If x and y are positive integers such that (6x + 3y) is a multiple of 11, then which of the following will be divisible by 11?
A) 4x + 6y
B) 2x + 4y
C) 8x + 3y
D) 3x – 4y
E) None of these
View Answer
Answer: option (D)
Explanation:
By hit and trial, we put x = 5 and y = 1 so that (6x + 3y) = (6 * 5 + 3 * 1) = 33, which is divisible by 11
∴ (4x + 6y) = (4 * 5 + 6 * 1) = 26, which is not divisible by 11
(2x + 4y) = (2 * 5 + 4 * 1) = 14, which is not divisible by 11
(8x + 3y) = (8 * 5 + 3 * 1) = 43, which is not divisible by 11
(3x – 4y) = (3 * 5 – 4 * 1) = 11, which is divisible by 11
22. If 60% of 3/5 of a number is 36, then the number is:
A) 80
B) 100
C) 75
D) 90
E) None of these
View Answer
Answer: option (B)
Explanation:
Let the number be x.
Then, 60% of 3/5 of x = 36
- 60/100 * 3/5 * x = 36
- x = (36 * 25/9) = 100
∴ required number = 100
23. How many of the following numbers are divisible by 132?
264, 396, 462, 792, 968, 2178, 5184, 6336
A) 7
B) 5
C) 4
D) 8
E) None of these
View Answer
Answer: option (C)
Explanation:
132 = 4 * 3 * 11
264 = 4, 3, 11
396 = 4, 3, 11
792 = 11, 3, 4
462 = 11,3
968 = 11, 4
2178 = 11, 3
5184 = 3, 4
6336 = 11, 3, 4
Required Numbers are = 4
24. If n is natural number, then (6n2 + 6n) is always divisible by:
A) 6 only
B) 6 and 12 both
C) 12 only
D) 18 only
E) None of these
View Answer
Answer: option (B)
Explanation:
(6n2 + 6n) = 6n(n + 1), which is always divisible by 6 and 12 both, since n(n + 1) is always even.
