TOPIC : RATIONAL AND IRRATIONAL NUMBER

1. 73412130 is exactly divisible by


(a) 3 (b) 11 (c) 13 (d) 9
Ans: (a)
Sol: Sum of digit  7  3  4  1  2  1  3  0
 21
 21 is divisible 3.
 73412130 is exactly divisible by 3.
2. If the number 2345 p 60q is exactly divisible by 3 and 5, then the maximum value of p +q is
(a) 12 (b) 13 (c) 14 (d) 15
Ans: (b)
Sol: A number is divisible by 5 if it’s unit digit is either 0 or 5. ie.
q  0 or 5 but
q has to be 5 , because p  q has to be maximum.
q5
A number is divisible by 3 if sum of digit is divisible by 3.
2  3  4  5  p  6  0  5  25  P
We can take p  2, 5,8,11...
If p  2 then p  q  5  2  7
If p  5 then p  q  5  5  10
If p  8 then p  q  5  8  13
If p  11 then p  q  5  11  16
Since the maximum number given in option is 13
 option (b) is correct.
3. Two numbers are in the ratio of 3: 4 and their HCF is 5. Then the numbers are
(a) 12,3 (b) 30, 60 (c) 5,10 (d) 15, 20
Ans: (d)
Sol: Let the numbers be 3x and 4x
HCF (3x, 4 x)  x  5
 the numbers re (3  5) and (4  5)
Hence required numbers are 15, 20
4. If the number a  b and a  b are twin prime then a and b are necessarily
(a) Twin prime (b) Co-prime
(c) Cannot say (d) Composite
Ans: (b)
Sol: prime numbers differing by 2 are called twin prime.
 a and b both are co-prime.
5. If a number is divisible by 6 then what will be the remainder if it is divided by 3
(a) 0 (b) 6 (c) 3 (d) Cannot say
Ans: (a)
Sol: If a number is divisible by 6 then it is also divisible by 3.
6. Two groups consisting of 234 boys and 268 girls are going to participate in a drill. How many
minimum rows of the students can be divided so that any given row either consists of only boys or
only girls?
(a) 20 (b) 22 (c) 24 (d) 18
Ans: (a)
Sol: HCF of 234 and 286 is 26
234 286
Total number of rows  
26 26
 9  11  20
7. Which of these numbers is not divisible by 3?
(a) 339 (b) 342 (c) 552 (d) 1111 (e) 672
Ans: (d)
Sol: One may answer this question by dividing each number by 3. However, we can also test for divisible
by adding the digit and if the result is divisible by 3 then the number is divisible by 3.
3  3  9  15, divisible by 3.
3  4  2  9, divisible by 3.
5  5  2  12, divisible by 3.
1  1  1  1  4, Not divisible by 3.
The number 1111 is not divisible by 3.
8. Find the maximum possible length of the rope which can measure 12 m, 18 m and 24 m.
(a) 14 m (b) 6 m (c) 12 m (d) 36 m
Ans: (b)
Sol: Using prime factorization method,
12  2  2  3
18  2  3 3
24  2  2  2  3
HCF  2  3  6
9. Six bells commence tolling together and toll at intervals of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 second respectively.
In 30 minutes, how many times do they toll together?
(a) 4 (b) 10 (c) 15 (d) 16
Ans: (d)
Sol: L.C.M of 2,4, 6, 8, 10, 12 is 120
So, the bells will toll together after every 120 second (2minutes).
30
In 30 minutes they will toll together  1  16 times.

10. There is a circular path around a sports field. Priya takes 18 minutes to drive one round of the field
while Ravish takes 12 minutes for the same. Suppose they both started at the same point and at the
same time, and go in the same direction. After how many minutes will they meet again at the
starting point?
(a) 18 (b) 12 (c)6 (d)36
Ans: (d)
Sol: Required number of minutes is the L.C.M. of 18 and 12.
18  2  32 and 12  22  3
Therefore, LCM (18,12)  22  32  36
