50380.How many of the following numbers are divisible by 3 but not by 9. 4320, 2343, 3474, 4131, 5286, 5340, 6336, 7347, 8115, 9276
5
6
7
None of these
Explanation:

Taking the sum of the digits, we have :
S1 = 9, S2 = 12, S3 = 18, S4 = 9, S5 = 21, S6 = 12, S7 = 18, S8 = 21, S9 = 15, S10 = 24.
Clearly, S2, S5, S6, S8, S9, S10 are all divisible by 3 but not by 9.
So, the number of required numbers = 6.

50381.The difference between the squares of two consecutive odd integers is always divisible by:
3
6
7
8
Explanation:

Let the two consecutive odd integers be (2x + 1) and (2x + 3)
Then, (2x + 3)2 - (2x + 1)2 = (2x + 3 + 2x + 1) (2x + 3 - 2x - 1) = (4x + 4)(2)
= 8 (x + 1), which is always divisible by 8

50382.If p and q are the two digits of the number 653pq such that this number is divisible by 80, then p+q is equal to :
2
3
4
6
Explanation:

Since 653xy is divisible by 5 as well as 2, so y = 0.
Now, 653x0 must be divisible by 8.
So, 3x0 must be divisible by 8. This happens when x = 2
x + y = (2 + 0) = 2

50383.A six-digit number is formed by repeating a three-digit number; for example, 256256 or 678678 etc. Any number of this form is always exactly divisible by :
7 only
13 only
11 only
1001
Explanation:

256256 = 256 x 1001; 678678 = 678 x 1001, etc.
So, any number of this form is divisible by 1001

50384.If -1 ≤ a ≤ 2 and 1 ≤ b ≤ 3, then least possible value of (2a – 3b) is:
-11
-3
-4
-5
Explanation:

-1 ≤ a; so a = -1
b ≤ 3; so b = 3
Now, 2a – 3b = -2 - 9 = -11
Therefore, the least value is -11

50385.A girl multiplies 987 by a certain number and obtains 559981 as her answer. If in the answer, both 9’s are wrong but the other digits are correct, then the correct answer will be
553681
555181
555681
556581
Explanation:

987 = 3 x 7 x 47.
So, required number must be divisible by each one of 3, 7, 47. None of the numbers in 553681 and 555181 are divisible by 3. While 556581 is not divisible by 7.
Correct answer is 555681

50386.One-quarter of one-seventh of a land is sold for Rs. 30,000. What is the value of an eight thirty-fifth of load?
Rs. 1,92,2300.
Rs. 1,92,2450.
Rs. 1,92,2400.
Rs. 1,92,2000.
Explanation:

One-quarter of one-seventh = 1/4 x 1/7
= 1/28
Now, 1/28 of a land costs = Rs. 30,000
Thus, 8/35 of the land will cost = 30,000 x 28 x 8/35
= Rs. 1,92,2000.

50387.If the number 653ab is divisible by 90, then (a + b) = ?
2
3
4
6
Explanation:

90 = 10 x 9
Clearly, 653ab is divisible by 10, so b = 0
Now, 653a0 is divisible by 9.
So, (6 + 5 + 3 + a + 0) = (14 + a) is divisible by 9. So, a = 4.
Hence, (a + b) = (4 + 0) = 4.

50388.If (64)2 - (36)2 = 20 x a, then a = ?
70
120
180
140
Explanation:

20 x a = (64 + 36)(64 - 36) = 100 x 28
a = $\dfrac{100 x 28}{20}$ = 140

50389.$(y^{n} - b^{n}) $is completely divisible by (y - b), when
n is any natural number
n is an even natural number
n is and odd natural number
n is prime
Explanation:

For every natural number n,$ (y^{n} - b^{n})$
is completely divisible by (y - b).
