1What is the unit digit of 3^47?
A.3
B.9
C.7
D.1
Explanation: To find the unit digit of 3^47, we examine the cyclicity of the unit digits of powers of 3. The powers of 3 follow a repeating pattern of four: 3, 9, 7, and 1. Dividing the exponent 47 by 4 gives a remainder of 3, which corresponds to the third number in the cycle, which is 7.
2Which of the following numbers is divisible by 9?
A.457813
B.563218
C.981243
D.234568
Explanation: A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9. Summing the digits of 981243 gives 9 + 8 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 3 = 27, which is divisible by 9. Therefore, 981243 is divisible by 9.
3What is the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 48 and 72?
A.12
B.24
C.16
D.36
Explanation: The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 48 and 72 is the largest positive integer that divides both numbers. The prime factorization of 48 is 2^4 * 3, and for 72 it is 2^3 * 3^2. The common factors are 2^3 * 3 = 24.
4Find the sum of the first 25 natural numbers.
A.300
B.325
C.350
D.275
Explanation: The sum of the first n natural numbers is given by the formula S = n(n + 1)/2. For n = 25, the sum is S = 25 * 26 / 2 = 325.
5What is the remainder when 7^103 is divided by 6?
A.1
B.2
C.5
D.3
Explanation: Since 7 is congruent to 1 modulo 6, we can write 7^103 is congruent to 1^103 modulo 6. Since 1^103 = 1, the remainder when 7^103 is divided by 6 is 1.
6Express 0.373737... as a fraction in its simplest form.
A.37/100
B.37/99
C.37/90
D.37/10
Explanation: Let x = 0.373737... Multiplying both sides by 100 gives 100x = 37.373737... Subtracting the first equation from the second yields 99x = 37, which simplifies to x = 37/99.
7What is the least number that must be added to 1056 to make it completely divisible by 23?
A.2
B.3
C.18
D.21
Explanation: First, divide 1056 by 23 to find the remainder. 1056 = 23 * 45 + 21, leaving a remainder of 21. To find the least number to add, subtract the remainder from the divisor: 23 - 21 = 2.
8Which of the following is a prime number?
A.119
B.161
C.127
D.133
Explanation: A prime number is a number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. Testing divisors up to the square root of 127 (approx 11.27), we find that 127 is not divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7, or 11, so it is prime.
9If A's salary is 25% more than B's salary, by how much percentage is B's salary less than A's salary?
A.25%
B.20%
C.15%
D.30%
Explanation: Let B's salary be Rs. 100. Then A's salary is Rs. 125. The difference is Rs. 25. The percentage by which B's salary is less than A's is (25 / 125) * 100 = 20%.
10An agent gets a commission of 5% on sales up to Rs. 10,000 and 4% on sales exceeding this amount. What is his commission on a total sale of Rs. 15,000?
A.Rs. 700
B.Rs. 650
C.Rs. 750
D.Rs. 600
Explanation: The commission on the first Rs. 10,000 is 5%, which is 10,000 * 0.05 = Rs. 500. The remaining sales amount is 15,000 - 10,000 = Rs. 5,000. The commission on this remainder is 4%, which is 5,000 * 0.04 = Rs. 200. Total commission = 500 + 200 = Rs. 700.
