1. The decimal expansion of 22/7 is
(a)Terminating
(b)Non-terminating and repeating
(c)Non-terminating and Non-repeating
(d)None of the above
Answer: (c)
Explanation: 22/7= 3.14285714286..
2. For some integer n, the odd integer is represented in the form of:
(a) n
(b) n+1
(c) 2n+1
(d) 2n
Answer: (c)
Explanation: Since 2n represents the even numbers, hence 2n+1 will always represent the odd numbers. Suppose if n=2, then 2n=4 and 2n+1 = 5.
3.HCF of 26 and 91 is:
(a)15
(b)13
(c)19
(d)11
Answer: (b)
Explanation: The prime factorisation of 26 and 91 is;
26 = 2 x 13
91 = 7 x 13
Hence, HCF (26, 91) = 13
4. Which of the following is not irrational?
(a) (3+√7)
(b) (3-√7)
(c) (3+√7) (3-√7)
(d) 3√7
Answer: (c)
Explanation: If we solve, (3+√7) (3-√7), we get;
(3+√7) (3-√7) = 32-(√7)2 = 9 – 7 = 2 [By a2-b2 = (a-b) (a+b)]
5. The addition of a rational number and an irrational number is equal to:
(a)rational number
(b)Irrational number
(c)Both
(d)None of the above
Answer: (b)

(c)Maybe rational or irrational
(d)None
Answer: (c)
7.If set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5,…} is given, then it represents:
(a)Whole numbers
(b)Rational Numbers
(c)Natural numbers
(d)Complex numbers
Answer: (c)
8. If p and q are integers and is represented in the form of p/q, then it is a:
(a)Whole numbers
(b)Rational numbers
(c)Natural numbers
(d)Even numbers
Answer: (b)
9. The largest number that divides 70 and 125, which leaves the remainders 5 and 8, is:
(a)65
(b)15
(c)13
(d)25
Answer: (c)
Explanation: 70 -5 = 65 and 125-8=117
HCF (65, 117) is the largest number that divides 70 and 125 and leaves remainder 5 and 8
HCF (65, 117) = 13
10. The least number that is divisible by all the numbers from 1 to 5 is.
(a)70
(b)60
(c)80
(d)90
Answer: (b)
Explanation: The least number will be LCM of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Hence, LCM (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60
- What is the least number that must be added to 1056 so the number is divisible by 23?
- 0
- 3
- 2
- 1
- What is the least number that must be added to 1056 so the number is divisible by 23?
Answer: (C) 2
Solution: We have,
On dividing 1056 by 23, we got 21 as remainder.
⇒ If we add 23 – 21 = 2 to the dividend 1056, we will get a number completely divisible by 23.
∴ Required number = (23 – 21) = 2
- The difference of two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger number by the smaller, we get 6 as quotient and the 15 as remainder. What is the smaller number?
- 360
- 295
- 270
- 240
- The difference of two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger number by the smaller, we get 6 as quotient and the 15 as remainder. What is the smaller number?
Answer: (c) 270
Solution: Let the smaller number be x.
⇒ Larger number = (x+1365)
⇒x+1365=6x+15
⇒5x=1350
⇒x=270
∴ Larger number is (270 + 1365) = 1635
and smaller number is 270.
- Euclid’s division lemma states “Given positive integers a and b, there exist unique integers q and r satisfying a=bq+r. Which of the following is true for r?
- r>a
- r<0
- 0≤r<b
- r>b
- Euclid’s division lemma states “Given positive integers a and b, there exist unique integers q and r satisfying a=bq+r. Which of the following is true for r?
Answer: (C)0≤r<b
Solution: Euclid’s division lemma:
Given positive integers a and b, there exist unique integers q and r satisfying a = bq + r where 0≤r<b.
Basically, it can be observed that remainder can never be more than the divisor, and is a non-negative integer (could be zero).
- a and b, when divided by 7 and 6 respectively, leave remainders p and q respectively. What is the maximum value of p + q?
- 5
- 6
- 12
- 11
- a and b, when divided by 7 and 6 respectively, leave remainders p and q respectively. What is the maximum value of p + q?
Answer: (D) 11
Solution: There exist integers m and n such that a = 7m + p and b = 6n + q such that
0<p<7⇒
Maximum value of p will be 6.
0<q<6⇒
Maximum value of p will be 5.
Therefore, the maximum value of p + q will be 11.
- If HCF (1008, 20) = HCF (20, a) = HCF (a, b) where 1008=20×q+a; 20=a×m+b where (q, a) and (m, b) are positive integers satisfying Euclid’s Division Lemma. What could be the values of a and b?
- 24, 8
- 20, 8
- 10, 4
- 8, 4
- If HCF (1008, 20) = HCF (20, a) = HCF (a, b) where 1008=20×q+a; 20=a×m+b where (q, a) and (m, b) are positive integers satisfying Euclid’s Division Lemma. What could be the values of a and b?
Answer: (D) 8, 4
Solution: If p=d×q+r, (p>q) where p, q, d, r are integers and for a given (p, d), there exist a unique (q, r), then HCF (p, d) = HCF (d, r). Because this relation holds true, the Euclid’s Division Algorithm exists in a step by step manner. So, to find the HCF (1008, 20), we use Euclid’s division lemma at every step.
Step 1: 1008=20×50+8 ⇒ HCF(1008, 20) = HCF(20,8) ⇒ a could be 8
Step 2: 20=8×2+4 ⇒ HCF(20, 8) = HCF(8,4) ⇒ b could be 4
Step 3: 8=4×2+0
HCF = 4
Since 1008=20×q+a where q and a are positive integers satisfy Euclid’s Division Lemma, we must have 0≤a<20. So a is surely 8 and b is 4.
