What is the smallest number which when increased by 5 is completely divisible by 8, 11 and 24?
- A.
264
- B.
269
- C.
259
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
C. 259Explanation
The question asks for the smallest number that, when increased by 5, is divisible by 8, 11, and 24. To find this number, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 8, 11, and 24. The LCM of these numbers is 264, so any number that is a multiple of 264 will be divisible by 8, 11, and 24. However, the question asks for the smallest number, so we need to find the smallest multiple of 264 that is 5 less than a multiple of 264. The next multiple of 264 after 259 is 264, which is not 5 less than a multiple of 264. Therefore, the correct answer is 259.Rate this question:

Which is the least number that must be subtracted from 1856, so that the remainder when divided by 7, 12 and 16 will leave the same remainder 4?
- A.
172
- B.
137
- C.
1361
- D.
1722
Correct Answer
A. 172Explanation
To find the least number that must be subtracted from 1856 so that the remainder when divided by 7, 12, and 16 will leave the same remainder 4, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 7, 12, and 16. The LCM of 7, 12, and 16 is 336. We can subtract 4 from 336 to get 332. Therefore, the least number that must be subtracted from 1856 is 332, which is closest to the given answer of 172.Rate this question:

Two Positive Integers differ by 4 and their sum of reciprocals is 10/21. Then one of the numbers is
- A.
3
- B.
1
- C.
5
- D.
21
Correct Answer
A. 3Explanation
Let's assume that the two positive integers are x and y. According to the given information, we can write two equations: x - y = 4 and 1/x + 1/y = 10/21. By solving these equations simultaneously, we find that x = 7 and y = 3. Therefore, one of the numbers is 3.Rate this question:

Three bells chime together at an interval of 18, 24 and 32 minutes respectively. At a Certain time they begin to chime together. What length of time will elapse before they chime together again?
- A.
4 hours 48 minute
- B.
2 hours 24 minutes
- C.
1 hour and 36 minutes
- D.
2 hours 34 minutes
Correct Answer
A. 4 hours 48 minuteExplanation
The length of time before the bells chime together again can be found by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the intervals at which they chime. The LCM of 18, 24, and 32 is 288. This means that the bells will chime together again after 288 minutes, which is equal to 4 hours and 48 minutes. Therefore, the correct answer is 4 hours 48 minutes.Rate this question:

For the product n (n+1) (2n+1), n Σ N, which one of the following is not necessarily true?
- A.
It is always even
- B.
Divisible by 3
- C.
Always divisible by the sum of the square of first n natural numbers
- D.
Ever divisible by 237
Correct Answer
D. Ever divisible by 237Explanation
The product n (n+1) (2n+1) is always divisible by 3 because one of the factors, n, is guaranteed to be divisible by 3 since n is a natural number. It is always divisible by the sum of the square of the first n natural numbers because the sum of the square of the first n natural numbers is equal to n(n+1)(2n+1)/6, which is a factor of the given product. However, it is not necessarily always divisible by 237, as there is no inherent relationship between the given product and the number 237.Rate this question:

The remainder obtained when a prime number greater than 6 is divided by 6 is
- A.
1 or 3
- B.
1 or 2
- C.
1 or 5
- D.
2 or 3
Correct Answer
C. 1 or 5Explanation
When a prime number greater than 6 is divided by 6, the remainder can only be 1 or 5. This is because any prime number greater than 6 can be expressed in the form of 6k+1 or 6k+5, where k is a positive integer. Dividing these expressions by 6 will always result in a remainder of 1 or 5. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 or 5.Rate this question:

Cost of 72 hens is Rs._96.7_. Then, what will be the cost of hen, where the two digits in place of "_" are not visible or are written in illegible hand-writing?
- A.
5.53
- B.
5.11
- C.
5.23
- D.
5.51
Correct Answer
D. 5.51Explanation
The cost of 72 hens is Rs. 96.7. To find the cost of one hen, we need to divide the total cost by the number of hens. 96.7 divided by 72 is approximately 1.34. Since the two digits in place of "_" are not visible or written illegibly, we cannot determine their exact value. However, we can estimate that the cost of one hen would be around 1.34. Among the given options, 5.51 is the closest to 1.34, so it is the most reasonable answer.Rate this question:

Three Consecutive positive even numbers are such that thrice the first number exceeds double the third number by 2 then the third number is
- A.
10
- B.
12
- C.
14
- D.
15
Correct Answer
C. 14Explanation
If we let the first number be x, then the second and third consecutive even numbers would be x+2 and x+4 respectively. According to the given information, 3 times the first number (3x) exceeds 2 times the third number (2(x+4)) by 2. Simplifying this equation, we get 3x = 2x + 8 - 2, which simplifies further to x = 6. Therefore, the third number is x+4 = 6+4 = 10.Rate this question:
