  1. The sum of all natural numbers from 75 to 97 is :









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Series of all natural numbers from 75 to 97 is in A.P. whose first term, a = 75, last term, l = 97
    If number of terms be n, then
    an = a + ( n – 1 )d
    ⇒  97 = 75 + ( n – 1 )
    ⇒  n = 97 – 74 = 23

    Sn =
    n
    (a + 1)
    2

    Correct Option: D

  1. The sum of first 20 odd natural numbers is equal to :









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Series of first 20 odd natural numbers is an arithmetic progression with 1 as the first term and the common difference 2. Sum of n terms in arithmetic progression is given by.

    Sn =
    n
    [2a + (n − 1)d]
    2

    Where a : First term, d : common difference and n = Number of terms

    Correct Option: C

    Series of first 20 odd natural numbers is an arithmetic progression with 1 as the first term and the common difference 2. Sum of n terms in arithmetic progression is given by.

    Sn =
    n
    [2a + (n − 1)d]
    2

    Where a = First term, d = common difference and n = Number of terms
    ∴ S20 =
    20
    × [(2 × 1) + (20 − 1) × 2]
    2

    ∴ S20 = 10 [ 2 + 38 ] = 10 × 40 = 400

    Note : Sum of first n consecutive odd numbers = n2



  1. The sum of three consecutive odd natural numbers is 147. Then, the middle number is :

    Let us assume the 3 consecutive odd natural numbers are P, P + 2, P + 4;
    According to question;
    ∴  P + P + 2 + P + 4 = 147
    ⇒  3P + 6 = 147
    ⇒  3P = 147 – 6 = 141

    Correct Option: C

    Let us assume the 3 consecutive odd natural numbers are P, P + 2, P + 4;
    According to question;
    ∴  P + P + 2 + P + 4 = 147
    ⇒  3P + 6 = 147
    ⇒  3P = 147 – 6 = 141

    ⇒  P =
    141
    = 47
    3

    ∴  Middle Number = P + 2 = 47 + 2 = 49


  1. The unit digit in 3 × 38 × 537 × 1256 is

    Unit’s digit in 3 × 38 × 537 × 1256
    = Unit’s digit in 3 × 8 × 7 × 6

    Correct Option: D

    Unit’s digit in 3 × 38 × 537 × 1256
    = Unit’s digit in 3 × 8 × 7 × 6
    = 4 × 2 = 8



  1. The digit in the unit’s place of the product (2464)1793 × (615)317 × (131)491 is

    (4)2m gives 6 at unit digit.
    (4)2m +1 gives 4 at unit digit.
    (5)n gives 5 at unit place.

    Correct Option: A

    (4)2m gives 6 at unit digit.
    (4)2m +1 gives 4 at unit digit.
    (5)n gives 5 at unit place.
    The same is the case with 1.
    ∴  Required digit = Unit’s digit in the product of 4× 5 × 1 = 0
