    Numbers divisible by 3 and lying between 100 and 200 are : 102, 105, 108, 111,...................... 198
    Let number of terms = n
    As we know the formula
    an = a + ( n – 1 )d
    where an = Nth Term a = First term , n = Number of terms and d = Common Difference
    ∴  198 = 102 + ( n – 1 ) 3

    ⇒ n − 1 =
    198 − 102
    = 32
    3

    ⇒  n = 33
    ∴  Sn =
    Number of terms
    = ( First term + Last term )

    The smallest number of 5 digits = 10000
    Remainder on dividing 10000 by 123 = 37

    Correct Option: B

    The smallest number of 5 digits = 10000
    Remainder on dividing 10000 by 123 = 37
    ∴ Required number
    = 10000 + (123 – 37) = 10086



  1. The sum of the four consecutive even numbers is 284. What would be the smallest number.











  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Let four consecutive even numbers are P, P + 2, P + 4 and P + 6
    According to the question,
    P + P + 2 + P + 4 + P + 6 = 284

    Correct Option: C

    Let four consecutive even numbers are P, P + 2, P + 4 and P + 6
    According to the question,
    P + P + 2 + P + 4 + P + 6 = 284
    ⇒ 4P + 12 = 284
    ⇒ 4P = 284 - 12 = 272
    ∴ P = 272/4 = 68


  1. The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 14 and the difference between the two digits of the number is 2. What is the product of the two digits of the two-digit number ?











  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Let be the ten's digit be P and unit's digit be Q.
    The two-digit number = 10P + Q
    (where, P > Q)
    According to the question,
             P + Q = 14 ......(i)
    and   P - Q = 2 .......(ii)

    Correct Option: B

    Let be the ten's digit be P and unit's digit be Q.
    The two-digit number = 10P + Q
    (where, P > Q)
    According to the question,
             P + Q = 14 ......(i)
    and   P - Q = 2 .......(ii)
    solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
    P = 8 and Q = 6
    ∴ Required product = 8 x 6 = 48



  1. The unit digit in the sum of (124)372 + (124)373 is

    As we know that
    41 = 4;
    42 = 16;
    43 = 64;
    44 = 256;
    45 = 1024;
    As we see that
    Unit place of 41 = 4;
    Unit place of 42 = 16;
    Unit place of 43 = 64;
    Unit place of 44 = 256;
    Unit place of 45 = 1024;
    Unit digit is repeating after every 4th index number.
    Remainder on dividing 372 by 4 = 0
    Remainder on dividing 373 by 4 = 1

    Correct Option: D

    As we know that
    41 = 4;
    42 = 16;
    43 = 64;
    44 = 256;
    45 = 1024;
    As we see that
    Unit place of 41 = 4;
    Unit place of 42 = 16;
    Unit place of 43 = 64;
    Unit place of 44 = 256;
    Unit place of 45 = 1024;
    Unit digit is repeating after every 4th index number.
    Remainder on dividing 372 by 4 = 0
    Remainder on dividing 373 by 4 = 1
    ∴  Required unit digit = Unit digit of (124)372 + (124)373
    ∴  Required unit digit = Unit digit of (4)372 + (4)373
    as we know that Remainder on dividing 372 by 4 = 0 and Remainder on dividing 373 by 4 = 1
    ∴  Required unit digit = Unit digit of (4)4 + (4)1
    ∴  Required unit digit = Unit digit of of sum of ( 6 + 4 )
    ∴  Required unit digit = Unit digit of of sum of ( 10 )
    ∴  Required unit digit = 0
