1/10 Questions

A certain integer when divided by 5 yields a remainder of 4. Which of these can not be an integer?
- N/9
- N/10
- N/14
- N/19
- None of these

About This Quiz

This Math Exam - 1 focuses on Number Theory, including problems on divisibility, consecutive integers, and properties of prime numbers.

2.

If the average of 5 consecutive odd integer is 55. what is the average of the last two integers?
- 56
- 57
- 58
- 60
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. 58

Explanation

55 is the average of 5 (which is an odd number) numbers, so 55 is in the middle of those numbers. Hence, 51,53,55,57,59 will those numbers & (57+59)/2=58

3.

When the integers x id divided by 5, the remainder is 2. Which of the following can be multiple of (x+3)
- 8x+7
- 9x-3
- 11x-4
- 13x+1
- 13x
Correct Answer

A. 9x-3

Explanation

we have to find out a number divisible by (x+3), Given that the remainder is 2 if x is divided by 5, then we may guess the value of x such as 7 (5+2), 12(5*2+2), 17(5*3+2) ..so on. Then (x+3) means 10(7+3), 15(12+3) & so on. Thus (9x-3)=9*7-3=60 which is divisible by 10 means ( x+3).

4.

P is divisible by 4. Q is divisible by 3. Which of the following is definitely odd?
- Q(P+1)
- 2P+3Q
- PQ<sup style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">2
- P²Q³
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. None of these

Explanation

P is divisible by 4, so P is an even number but Q is divisible by 3, so Q may be odd(3,9,15 etc.) or even (6,12,18 etc.). hence if we think from our concept, we find we can not say about any option definitely.

Q is a prime number larger than 10. What is the smallest positive number (except 1) that 3Q can be equally divided by?
- 3Q
- Q
- 3
- Q+3
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. 3

Explanation

Q is a prime number so it can be divided equally by 3Q, by 1 and by the components of 3 & Q. So the smallest number is 3 except 1.

Rate this question:
6.

A can be divided by 11. Which of the following expressions can be divided by 11 leaving a remainder of 1?
- A-20
- A-12
- A-9
- A-10
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. A-10

Explanation

Just take the multiples of 11 such as 22,33,44 etc. & replace a by any of them in the choice options.

Turn the odd man out: 4, 9, 10, 12, 13, 18, 21
- 4
- 12
- 13
- 21
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. 13

Explanation

Only 13 is a prime among them which is odd(strange).

Rate this question:
8.

If a, b, and c are nonzero numbers and a+b=c, which of the following is equal to 1?
- (a-b)/c
- (a-c)/b
- (b-c)/a
- (c-b)/a
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. (c-b)/a

Explanation

Very simple, just a+b=c, or a=c-b & so (c-b)/a=a/a=1.

Rate this question:
9.

When 10 is divided by the positive integer n, the remainder is n-4. Which of the following could be value of n?
- 3
- 4
- 7
- 8
- 12
Correct Answer

A. 7

Explanation

If 10 is being divided by 7, then the remainder is 3 which is 7-4 that means n-4.

Rate this question:
10.

When the integer n is divided by 3, the quotient is p and the remainder is 1. When p is divided by 5, the quotient is q and the remainder is 2. What will be the remainder when n is divided by 5.
- 4
- 3
- 2
- 1
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. 2

Explanation

Here, n=3p+1 = 3(5q+2)+1=15q+6+1=(15q+5)+2; (15q+5) is divisible by 5, so remainder is 2.
