Q :  

Two positive numbers differ by 1280. When the greater number is divided by the smaller number, the quotient is 7 and the remainder is 50. The greater number is:

(A) 1558

(B) 1458

(C) 1585

(D) 1485

Correct Answer : D
Explanation :

Given :- Two positive numbers differ by 1280 

When the greater number is divided by the smaller number The quotient is 7 and the remainder is 50 

Concept :- Dividend = Quotient × divisor + remainder 

Calculation :- Let greater number = a and Smaller number = b From question, ⇒ a - b = 1280 ....(1) Again from question, ⇒ a = 7b + 50 ....(2) 

Put the value of a from equation (2) into equation (1) ⇒ 7b + 50 - b = 1280 ⇒ 6b = 1280 - 50 ⇒ 6b = 1230 ⇒ b = (1230/6) ⇒ b = 205 

Put the value of b in equation (1) ⇒ a - 205 = 1280 ⇒ a = 1280 + 205 ⇒ a = 1485 ⇒ Greater number = 1485 ∴ Greater number is 1485


Q :

Q :  

A number when divided by 296 gives a remainder 75. When the same number is divided by 37 the remainder will be: 

(A) 8

(B) 1

(C) 2

(D) 11

Correct Answer : B
Explanation :

Let number (dividend) be X.

∴ X = 296 × Q + 75 where Q is the quotient and can have the values 1, 2, 3 etc.

= 37 × 8 × Q + 37 × 2 + 1

= 37 (8Q + 2) + 1

Thus we see that the remainder is 1.

[Remark : When the second divisor is a factor of the first divisor, the second remainder is obtained by dividing the first remainder by the second divisor.

Hence, divide 75 by 37, the remainder is 1].


Q :  

A number when divided successively by 4 and 5 leaves remainder 1 and 4 respectively. When it is successively divided by 5 and 4 the respective remainders will be

(A) 2, 3

(B) 1, 2

(C) 4, 1

(D) 3, 2

Correct Answer : A
Explanation :

The least number X in this case will be determined as follows:

Y = 5 × 1 + 4 = 9

X = 4 × Y + 1 = 4 × 9 + 1 = 37 Now,

Hence, the respective remainders are 2, 3.
