How many natural numbers divisible by 7 are there between 3 and 200?
(A) 28
(B) 29
(C) 27
(D) 36
Correct Answer : A
Explanation :
Number just greater than 3 which is divisible by 7 = 7
Number just smaller than 200 which is divisible by 7 = 196
Here, a = 7, an = 196,
d = 7, n = 8
an = a + (n –1)d
⇒196 = 7 + (n – 1) × 7
⇒ 
⇒ n = 27 + 1 = 28
Note : We can find the answer after dividing 200 by 7. The quotient is our answer.
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].

(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
