If it is possible to form a number which is the perfect square of an even number, using the second and the fourth digits of the number 54867, which of the following is that even number ?
- A.
8
- B.
6
- C.

Therefore, the correct answer is "There is no such number".Rate this question:

- A.
34th
- B.
36th
- C.
33rd
- D.

- E.
None of these
Correct Answer

Suresh is five ranks below Samir, who is the top student. This means that Samir is at rank 1 and Suresh is at rank 6. Since there are 40 students in total, Suresh's rank from the bottom can be calculated by subtracting his rank from the total number of students. Therefore, Suresh's rank from the bottom is 40 - 6 = 34. However, this contradicts the given answer of 35th, so the correct answer cannot be determined based on the given information.Rate this question:

How many numbers from 1-40 will be left out if all those numbers each of which is exactly divisible by 4 and /or has 4 as one of the digits are dropped
- A.
27
- B.
30
- C.
31
- D.
28
- E.
None of these
Correct Answer
D. 28Explanation
If we consider the numbers from 1-40, we can see that the numbers divisible by 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, and 36. There are 9 numbers divisible by 4.
Now, let's consider the numbers that have 4 as one of the digits. These numbers are 4, 14, 24, 34, and 40. There are 5 numbers with 4 as one of the digits.
However, we have counted the number 4 twice, so we need to subtract 1 from the total count.
Therefore, the total number of numbers to be dropped is 9 + 5 - 1 = 13.
So, the number of numbers left out is 40 - 13 = 27.
Hence, the correct answer is 27.Rate this question:
