How many $3$-digit numbers are completely divisible by $6$?
A
$149$
B
$150$
C
$151$
D
$166$

Solution

(B) The smallest $3$-digit number completely divisible by $6$ is $102$ (since $102 / 6 = 17$).
The largest $3$-digit number completely divisible by $6$ is $996$ (since $996 / 6 = 166$).
These numbers form an arithmetic progression where the first term $a = 102$,the common difference $d = 6$,and the last term $a_n = 996$.
Using the formula for the $n^{th}$ term of an arithmetic progression: $a_n = a + (n - 1)d$.
Substituting the values: $996 = 102 + (n - 1)6$.
Subtract $102$ from both sides: $894 = (n - 1)6$.
Divide by $6$: $n - 1 = 149$.
Therefore,$n = 150$.

On dividing a number by $5$,we get $3$ as the remainder. What will be the remainder when the square of this number is divided by $5$?
A
$0$
B
$1$
C
$2$
D
$4$

Solution

(D) Let the number be $n$. According to the problem,when $n$ is divided by $5$,the remainder is $3$. This can be expressed as $n = 5k + 3$,where $k$ is an integer.
We need to find the remainder when $n^2$ is divided by $5$.
$n^2 = (5k + 3)^2$
$n^2 = 25k^2 + 30k + 9$
$n^2 = 25k^2 + 30k + 5 + 4$
$n^2 = 5(5k^2 + 6k + 1) + 4$
Since $5(5k^2 + 6k + 1)$ is divisible by $5$,the remainder when $n^2$ is divided by $5$ is $4$.

The given expression is of the form $\frac{a^3 - b^3}{a^2 + ab + b^2}$.
Using the algebraic identity $a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)$,we can rewrite the expression as:
$\frac{(a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)}{a^2 + ab + b^2} = a - b$.
Substituting the values of $a$ and $b$:
$0.9743 - 0.0257 = 0.9486$.

$\sqrt[3]{6 \frac{35}{216}}$ is equal to........
A
$\frac{13}{6}$
B
$\frac{7}{3}$
C
$\frac{11}{6}$
D
$\frac{11}{3}$

Solution

(C) First,convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction:
$6 \frac{35}{216} = \frac{6 \times 216 + 35}{216} = \frac{1296 + 35}{216} = \frac{1331}{216}$.
Now,find the cube root of the resulting fraction:
$\sqrt[3]{\frac{1331}{216}} = \frac{\sqrt[3]{1331}}{\sqrt[3]{216}}$.
Since $11^3 = 1331$ and $6^3 = 216$,we get:
$\frac{11}{6}$.

A
$9$
B

C
$13$
D
$10$

Solution

(B) Given expression: $(8.5 \times 8.5 + 93.5 + 5.5 \times 5.5)^{1/2}$
We can rewrite $93.5$ as $2 \times 8.5 \times 5.5$ because $2 \times 8.5 = 17$ and $17 \times 5.5 = 93.5$.
So,the expression becomes: $[(8.5)^2 + 2 \times 8.5 \times 5.5 + (5.5)^2]^{1/2}$
Using the algebraic identity $(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2$,where $a = 8.5$ and $b = 5.5$:
$[(8.5 + 5.5)^2]^{1/2} = (14^2)^{1/2} = 14$.

The expression $\frac{8.25 \times 8.25 + 6.75 \times 6.75 - 2 \times 8.25 \times 6.75}{8.25 \times 8.25 - 6.75 \times 6.75}$ when simplified equals:
A
$0.1$
B
$0.2$
C
$0.05$
D
$0.25$

Solution

(A) Let $a = 8.25$ and $b = 6.75$.
The given expression is of the form $\frac{a^2 + b^2 - 2ab}{a^2 - b^2}$.
Using algebraic identities,we know that $a^2 + b^2 - 2ab = (a - b)^2$ and $a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)$.
Substituting these into the expression,we get: $\frac{(a - b)^2}{(a + b)(a - b)} = \frac{a - b}{a + b}$.
Now,substitute the values of $a$ and $b$: $\frac{8.25 - 6.75}{8.25 + 6.75} = \frac{1.5}{15.0} = 0.1$.

C
$19.9997$
D
$19.7$

Solution

(D) To solve the expression $(\sqrt[3]{8000} + \sqrt[3]{0.027} - \sqrt[3]{0.216})$:
$1$. Calculate the cube root of $8000$: $\sqrt[3]{8000} = \sqrt[3]{20^3} = 20$.
$2$. Calculate the cube root of $0.027$: $\sqrt[3]{0.027} = \sqrt[3]{(0.3)^3} = 0.3$.
$3$. Calculate the cube root of $0.216$: $\sqrt[3]{0.216} = \sqrt[3]{(0.6)^3} = 0.6$.

$\frac{(0.146+0.092)^{2}+(0.092-0.146)^{2}}{0.073 \times 0.073+0.046 \times 0.046}$ is equal to
A
$8$
B
$0.8$
C
$0.94$
D
$0.156$

Solution

(A) Let $a = 0.146$ and $b = 0.092$.
Then $0.073 = \frac{a}{2}$ and $0.046 = \frac{b}{2}$.
The expression becomes:
$\frac{(a+b)^{2} + (b-a)^{2}}{(\frac{a}{2})^{2} + (\frac{b}{2})^{2}}$
Since $(b-a)^{2} = (a-b)^{2}$,the numerator is $(a+b)^{2} + (a-b)^{2} = 2(a^{2} + b^{2})$.
The denominator is $\frac{a^{2}}{4} + \frac{b^{2}}{4} = \frac{a^{2} + b^{2}}{4}$.
Thus,the expression is $\frac{2(a^{2} + b^{2})}{\frac{a^{2} + b^{2}}{4}} = 2 \times 4 = 8$.

A
$7 \frac{3}{20}$
B
$8 \frac{7}{20}$
C
$9 \frac{11}{20}$
D
$10 \frac{7}{20}$

Solution

(A) To solve the expression $6 \frac{1}{15}-4 \frac{1}{12}+7 \frac{1}{3}-2 \frac{1}{6}$,we separate the whole numbers and the fractions.
First,group the whole numbers: $(6 - 4 + 7 - 2) = 7$.
Next,group the fractions: $\left(\frac{1}{15} - \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{6}\right)$.
The least common multiple $(LCM)$ of the denominators $15, 12, 3, 6$ is $60$.
Converting the fractions to have a common denominator of $60$:
$\frac{1 \times 4}{60} - \frac{1 \times 5}{60} + \frac{1 \times 20}{60} - \frac{1 \times 10}{60} = \frac{4 - 5 + 20 - 10}{60} = \frac{9}{60}$.
Simplifying the fraction $\frac{9}{60}$ by dividing both numerator and denominator by $3$,we get $\frac{3}{20}$.
Combining the whole number and the fraction,we get $7 + \frac{3}{20} = 7 \frac{3}{20}$.

A
$9$
B

C
$6561$
D
$729$

Solution

(A) Let the missing number be $x$.
Given equation: $[(72)^{2} \div 36 + x^{2}] \div 5 = 45$
Step $1$: Multiply both sides by $5$:
$(72)^{2} \div 36 + x^{2} = 45 \times 5$
$(72)^{2} \div 36 + x^{2} = 225$
Step $2$: Simplify $(72)^{2} \div 36$:
$(5184) \div 36 + x^{2} = 225$
$144 + x^{2} = 225$
Step $3$: Solve for $x^{2}$:
$x^{2} = 225 - 144$
$x^{2} = 81$
Step $4$: Find $x$:
$x = \sqrt{81} = 9$
Therefore,the missing number is $9$.

B
$0.1$
C

Solution

(B) Let $a = 0.6, b = -0.1, c = -0.4$.
The given expression is of the form $\frac{a^{3} + b^{3} + c^{3} - 3abc}{a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} - ab - bc - ca}$.
We know the algebraic identity: $a^{3} + b^{3} + c^{3} - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} - ab - bc - ca)$.
Substituting this into the expression,we get:
$\frac{(a + b + c)(a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} - ab - bc - ca)}{(a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} - ab - bc - ca)} = a + b + c$.
Substituting the values of $a, b,$ and $c$:
$0.6 + (-0.1) + (-0.4) = 0.6 - 0.1 - 0.4 = 0.1$.

A
$0.2$
B
$0.265$
C
$0.111$
D
$2$

Solution

(D) Let $a = 0.188$ and $b = 0.077$.
The given expression is in the form $\frac{(a+b)^{2} + (a-b)^{2}}{a^{2} + b^{2}}$.
Expanding the numerator using algebraic identities:
$(a+b)^{2} = a^{2} + 2ab + b^{2}$
$(a-b)^{2} = a^{2} - 2ab + b^{2}$
Adding these two expressions:
$(a+b)^{2} + (a-b)^{2} = (a^{2} + 2ab + b^{2}) + (a^{2} - 2ab + b^{2}) = 2a^{2} + 2b^{2} = 2(a^{2} + b^{2})$.
Substituting this back into the original fraction:
$\frac{2(a^{2} + b^{2})}{a^{2} + b^{2}} = 2$.
Therefore,the value of the expression is $2$.

$A$ certain two-digit number is three times the sum of its digits. If $45$ is added to the number,the digits are reversed. Find the number.
A
$23$
B
$27$
C
$32$
D
$72$

Solution

(B) Let the two-digit number be represented as $10x + y$,where $x$ is the tens digit and $y$ is the units digit.
According to the first condition,the number is three times the sum of its digits:
$10x + y = 3(x + y)$
$10x + y = 3x + 3y$
$7x = 2y$
$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{2}{7}$
This implies $x = 2$ and $y = 7$ (since $x$ and $y$ are single digits).
Thus,the number is $27$.
Verification with the second condition:
If $45$ is added to the number $27$:
$27 + 45 = 72$
Here,the digits $2$ and $7$ are reversed to become $72$.
Therefore,the number is $27$.

$A$ two-digit number has $3$ as its unit's digit,and the sum of its digits is $\frac{1}{7}$ of the number itself. The number is:
A
$43$
B
$53$
C
$63$
D
$73$

Solution

(C) Let the two-digit number be represented as $10x + 3$,where $x$ is the tens digit and $3$ is the units digit.
According to the problem,the sum of the digits is $\frac{1}{7}$ of the number itself.
So,$x + 3 = \frac{1}{7}(10x + 3)$.
Multiplying both sides by $7$,we get $7(x + 3) = 10x + 3$.
$7x + 21 = 10x + 3$.
Rearranging the terms to solve for $x$: $21 - 3 = 10x - 7x$.
$18 = 3x$.
$x = 6$.
Therefore,the required number is $10(6) + 3 = 63$.

Solution

(B) Let the two numbers be $x$ and $y$.
Given that $x + y = 25$ and $x - y = 13$.
We know the algebraic identity $(x + y)^2 - (x - y)^2 = 4xy$.
Substituting the given values into the identity:
$(25)^2 - (13)^2 = 4xy$
$625 - 169 = 4xy$
$456 = 4xy$
$xy = \frac{456}{4}$
$xy = 114$
Therefore,the product of the two numbers is $114$.

Solution

(A) Let the number be $x$.
According to the problem,when the number is multiplied by $15$,it increases by $196$,which means the new value is $x + 196$.
Therefore,the equation is: $15x = x + 196$.
Subtract $x$ from both sides: $14x = 196$.
Divide by $14$: $x = 196 / 14$.
$x = 14$.

The numerator and denominator of a fraction are in the ratio of $2:3$. If $6$ is subtracted from the numerator,the result is a fraction that has a value $\frac{2}{3}$ of the original fraction. The numerator of the original fraction is
A
$6$
B
$18$
C
$27$
D
$36$

Solution

(B) Let the original fraction be $\frac{p}{q}$.
Given that the ratio of the numerator to the denominator is $2:3$,we have $\frac{p}{q} = \frac{2}{3}$,which implies $3p = 2q$ or $q = \frac{3p}{2}$.
According to the problem,if $6$ is subtracted from the numerator,the new fraction is $\frac{p-6}{q}$.
It is given that this new fraction is $\frac{2}{3}$ of the original fraction:
$\frac{p-6}{q} = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{p}{q}$.
Since $q \neq 0$,we can cancel $q$ from both sides:
$p-6 = \frac{2}{3}p$.
Multiply both sides by $3$ to clear the fraction:
$3(p-6) = 2p$.
$3p - 18 = 2p$.
$3p - 2p = 18$.
$p = 18$.
Thus,the numerator of the original fraction is $18$.

$A$ number consists of two digits such that the digit in the ten's place is less by $2$ than the digit in the unit's place. Three times the number added to $\frac{6}{7}$ times the number obtained by reversing the digits equals $108$. The sum of the digits in the number is:
A
$7$
B
$6$
C
$8$
D
$9$

Solution

(B) Let the number be $10x + y$,where $x$ is the ten's digit and $y$ is the unit's digit.
According to the problem,$x = y - 2$.
The number obtained by reversing the digits is $10y + x$.
Given the equation: $3(10x + y) + \frac{6}{7}(10y + x) = 108$.
Substitute $x = y - 2$ into the equation:
$3(10(y - 2) + y) + \frac{6}{7}(10y + (y - 2)) = 108$
$3(11y - 20) + \frac{6}{7}(11y - 2) = 108$
$33y - 60 + \frac{66y - 12}{7} = 108$
Multiply the entire equation by $7$ to clear the denominator:
$7(33y - 60) + 66y - 12 = 756$
$231y - 420 + 66y - 12 = 756$
$297y - 432 = 756$
$297y = 1188$
$y = \frac{1188}{297} = 4$.
Since $x = y - 2$,then $x = 4 - 2 = 2$.
The number is $24$.
The sum of the digits is $x + y = 2 + 4 = 6$.

The sum of squares of three consecutive natural numbers is $2030$. What is the middle number?
A
$25$
B
$26$
C
$27$
D
$28$

Solution

(B) Let the three consecutive natural numbers be $(x-1)$,$x$,and $(x+1)$.
According to the problem,the sum of their squares is $2030$:
$(x-1)^2 + x^2 + (x+1)^2 = 2030$
Expanding the squares:
$(x^2 - 2x + 1) + x^2 + (x^2 + 2x + 1) = 2030$
Combining like terms:
$3x^2 + 2 = 2030$
Subtracting $2$ from both sides:
$3x^2 = 2028$
Dividing by $3$:
$x^2 = 676$
Taking the square root:
$x = \sqrt{676} = 26$
Therefore,the middle number is $26$.

Solution

(A) Let the two numbers be $x$ and $y$.
Given that the sum of the numbers is $x + y = 22$.
Given that the sum of their squares is $x^2 + y^2 = 404$.
We know the algebraic identity: $(x + y)^2 = x^2 + y^2 + 2xy$.
Substitute the given values into the identity:
$(22)^2 = 404 + 2xy$.
$484 = 404 + 2xy$.
$2xy = 484 - 404$.
$2xy = 80$.
$xy = \frac{80}{2} = 40$.
Therefore,the product of the numbers is $40$.

Solution

(C) Let the two numbers be $x$ and $y$.
Given that the sum of the numbers is $x + y = 20$.
Given that the difference of the numbers is $x - y = 8$.
We know the algebraic identity for the difference of squares: $x^2 - y^2 = (x + y)(x - y)$.
Substituting the given values into the identity:
$x^2 - y^2 = (20) \times (8)$.
$x^2 - y^2 = 160$.
Therefore,the difference of their squares is $160$.

The difference between two positive integers is $3$. If the sum of their squares is $369$,then the sum of the numbers is
A
$25$
B
$27$
C
$33$
D
$81$

Solution

(B) Let the two positive integers be $x$ and $y$.
Given that $x - y = 3$ and $x^2 + y^2 = 369$.
We know the algebraic identity $(x - y)^2 = x^2 + y^2 - 2xy$.
Substituting the known values: $3^2 = 369 - 2xy$,which gives $9 = 369 - 2xy$.
Therefore,$2xy = 369 - 9 = 360$.
We need to find the sum of the numbers,i.e.,$(x + y)$.
Using the identity $(x + y)^2 = x^2 + y^2 + 2xy$,we substitute the values:
$(x + y)^2 = 369 + 360 = 729$.
Taking the square root on both sides,$x + y = \sqrt{729} = 27$ (since the integers are positive).
Thus,the sum of the numbers is $27$.

Two numbers differ by $5$. If their product is $336$,then the sum of the two numbers is
A
$21$
B
$28$
C
$37$
D
$51$

Solution

(C) Let the two numbers be $x$ and $y$ such that $x > y$.
Given that the difference between the numbers is $5$,so $x - y = 5$.
Given that their product is $336$,so $x y = 336$.
We use the algebraic identity $(x + y)^2 = (x - y)^2 + 4xy$.
Substituting the given values:
$(x + y)^2 = (5)^2 + 4(336)$
$(x + y)^2 = 25 + 1344$
$(x + y)^2 = 1369$
Taking the square root on both sides,we get $x + y = \sqrt{1369} = 37$.
Thus,the sum of the two numbers is $37$.
