Detailed Solution for MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 2

The only one even prime number is 2 and this is not in the form of 3k + 1.
Thus any prime number of the form 3k + 1 is an odd number.
This means 3k must be even number which implies that must be even number also.
Let k = 2m.
Then a prime of the form 3k + 1 is of the form 3(2m) + 1 = 6m+1.
Every prime number of form 3k + 1 can be represented in the form 6m + 1 only, when k is even.

MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 3

If the numerator of a certain fraction is increased by 2 and the denominator is increased by 1, then the resulting fraction is equal to the 1/2. If how ever the numerator is increased by 1, then denominator is decreased by 2, then the resulting fraction is equal to 3/5. Find the original fraction?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 3

Let the fraction be x / y.
According to the question,
( x+2)/(y+1) = 1/2
⇒ 2x + 4 = y+1
⇒ 2x - y = -3 .........................(i)
Again according to the question,
(x+1)/(y-2) = 3/5
⇒ 5x +5 = 3y - 6
∴ 5x - 3y = -11..........................(ii)
on multiplying Eq. (i) by 3 and then subtracting from Eq. (ii) we get,
multiplying Eq. (i) by 3
6x - 3y = -9
subtracting from Eq. (ii)
5x- 3y - ( 6x - 3y ) = -11 - (-9)
5x- 3y - 6x + 3y = -11 + 9
- x = - 2
x= 2
On putting the value of x in Eq. (i) we get
2x- y = -3
2 x 2 - y = -3
⇒ 2 x 2 -y = -3
⇒ -y = -3 - 4
∴ y = 7
∴ Original fraction = x/y =2/7

MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 4

Out of three given numbers, the first number is twice the second and thrice the third. If the average of these three numbers is 154, then what is the difference between the first and the third numbers?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 4

Let the third numbers = p
Then, the first number = 3p
and second number = 3p/2
According to question,
( p + 3p + 3p/2 )/3 = 154
⇒ ( 2p + 6p + 3p )/6 = 154
∴ p = 154 x 6/11 = 84
∴ Required difference = 3p - p = 2p
= 2 x 84 = 168

MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 5

On children's Day, sweets were to be equally distributed amongst 300 children. But on that particular day 50 children remained absent; hence each child got one extra sweet. How many sweet were distributed?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 5

Let there be N number of total sweets.
Let each student receive x sweets.
Initially each student recieved x sweets i.e (N/300) = x
Afterward, 50 students were absent.
Now, each student recieved (x+1) sweets i.e (N/300) = x+1
Solving the simultaneous equations we get,
x=5
and hence there will be total N=5 x 300 = 1500 sweets.
Option C is the correct option.

MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 6

There are two examination halls P and Q. If 10 students shifted P to Q, then the number of students will be equal in both the examination halls. If 20 students shifted from Q to P, then the students of P would be doubled to the students of Q. The number of students would be in P and Q respectively are ?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 6

Let number of students in examination halls and Q is and y, respectively
Then as per the first condition,
x - 10 = y + 10
⇒ x - y = 20 ..............(i)
As per the second condition,
⇒ x + 20 = 2( y - 20)
⇒ x - 2y = - 60 ...............(ii)
On subtraction Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get
- y + 2y = 20 + 60
 y = 80
Putting the value of Eq. (i) we get,
- 80= 20 ⇒ x = 100
Hence, number of students in examination halls P and is 100 and 80, respectively.

MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 7

There are 200 question in a 3 hour examination. Among 200 question, 50 are Mathematics, 100 are from GK and 50 are from Sciences. Ram spent twice as much time on each Mathematics question for each other question. How many minute did he spend on Mathematics questions?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 7

Let Ram spends p minute on each Mathematics question.
According to the question.
50 x p + 100 x p/2 + 50 x p/2 = 3 x 60
p(50+ 50 + 25) = 180
⇒ p = 180/125
∴ Required time = 50 x 180/125
∴ Required time = 2 x 180/5
∴ Required time = 2 x 36 = 72 min

MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 8

In an examination paper of five questions 5% of the candidates answered all of them and 5% answered none. Of the rest 25% candidates answered only one question and 20% answered 4 question. If 396 candidates answered either 2 question or 3 question. The number of candidates that appeared for the examination was

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 8

Let total number of candidates in Exam = a
Number of candidates answered 5 questions = a x 5% = a x 5/100 = 5a/100 = a/20
Number of candidates answered not any questions = a x 5% = a x 5/100 = 5a/100 = a/20
∴ Remaining students = a - ( a/20 + a/20) = a - ( 2a/20 ) = a - ( a/10 ) = (10a - a)/10 = 9a/10
Number of candidates answered only 1 question = ( 9a/10 ) x 25% = ( 9a/10 ) x 25/100 = 9a/40
Number of candidates answered 4 questions = ( 9a/10 ) x 20% = ( 9a/10 ) x 20/100 = 9a/50
Given number of candidates awarded either 2 questions or 3 questions = 396
⇒ a - ( a/20+ a/20 + 9a/40 + 9a/50 ) = 396
⇒ a - ( a/10 + 9a/40 + 9a/50 ) = 396
⇒ a - ( ( a x 20 + 9a x 5 + 9a x 4 )/200) = 396
⇒ a - ( ( 20a + 45a + 36a )/200) = 396
⇒ a - ( 101a/200) = 396
⇒ ( 200a - 101a)/200 = 396
⇒ ( 99a)/200 = 396
∴ a = 396 x 200/99
∴ a = 4 x 200 = 800
⇒ a = 800
Hence, number of candidates = 800

MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 9

In a two digit positive number the unit digit is equal to the square of ten's place digit. The difference between the original number and the number formed by interchanging the digit is 54. What of 40% of the original number?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 9

Let ten's place digit be a and unit's place digit be a2
Original number = 10 x a + 1 x a2 = 10a + a2
The number formed by interchanging the digits,
New number = 10 x a 2 + 1 x a = 10a 2 + a
According to the question
(10a2 + a) - ( 10a + a2) = 54
⇒ 10a2 + a - 10a - a 2 = 54
⇒ 9a2 - 9a = 54
⇒ 9( a2 - a) = 54
⇒ ( a2 - a) = 54/9
⇒ ( a2 - a) = 6
⇒ a2 - a - 6 = 0
⇒ a2 - 3a + 2a - 6 = 0
⇒ a (a - 3) + 2 (a - 3) = 0
∴ (a - 3) (a + 2) = 0
∴ a = 3, - 2
∴ Ten,s digit = a = 3
Unit's digit = a2 = 32 = 9
Original number = 39
∴ Required number = 39 x 40/100 = 15.6

MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 10

The product of two consecutive odd number is 6723. What is the greater number ?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 11

Let two consecutive odd number be (A + 1) and (A + 3).
According to the question.
(A + 1) (A + 3) = 6723
⇒ A2 + 3A + A + 3 = 6723
⇒ A2 + 4A + 3 - 6723 = 0
⇒ A2 + 4A - 6720 = 0
⇒ A2 + 84A - 80A - 6720 = 0
⇒ A(A + 84) - 80 (A + 84) = 0
⇒ (A - 80) (A + 84) = 0
∴ A = 80, (A = ≠ - 84)
Hence, the greater number = 80 + 3 = 83

MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 12

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 ?

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

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Number System - 3 - Question 15

Let us assume Ten’s digit = P
Unit’s digit = 2P – 1
∴  Original number = 10P + (2P – 1) = 12P – 1
New number = 10 (2P – 1) + P
New number = 20P – 10 + P = 21P – 10
According to given question,
∴  (21P – 10) – (12P – 1) = 12P – 1 – 20
⇒  9P – 9 = 12P – 21
⇒  3P = 12
⇒ P = 4
⇒  Original number = 12P – 1 = 12 × 4 – 1 = 47
