- Divisibility and Remainders
1. A number is divisible by both 4 and 6. It must be divisible by:
- A. 10
- B. 12 (Correct)
- C. 18
- D. 24
Explanation: LCM(4,6)=12. The number must be divisible by 12.

2. Unit digit of 2^100 is:
- A. 2
- B. 4
- C. 6 (Correct)
- D. 8
Explanation: Powers of 2 cycle: 2,4,8,6 (period 4). 100÷4=25 remainder 0. Unit digit = 6.
- Divisibility and Remainders
3. Number of prime factors of 2^3 × 3^2 × 5 is:
- A. 3 (Correct)
- B. 4
- C. 5
- D. 6
Explanation: Number of distinct prime factors = 3 (i.e., 2, 3, and 5).
- Divisibility and Remainders
4. Remainder when 17 × 19 × 21 is divided by 4:
- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. 3 (Correct)
Explanation: 17≡1, 19≡3, 21≡1 (mod 4). Product≡1×3×1=3 (mod 4).
- Divisibility and Remainders
5. HCF of two numbers is 8 and LCM is 384. One number is 48. Other is:
- A. 56
- B. 64 (Correct)
- C. 72
- D. 80
Explanation: Other = HCF×LCM/one number = 8×384/48 = 64.
- Divisibility and Remainders
6. Sum of all prime numbers between 1 and 20 is:
- A. 55
- B. 58
- C. 60
- D. 77 (Correct)
Explanation: Primes: 2+3+5+7+11+13+17+19=77.
- Divisibility and Remainders
7. Find least value of k so that 7k5 is divisible by 3:
- A. 0
- B. 1 (Correct)
- C. 2
- D. 3
Explanation: Digit sum = 7+k+5=12+k. For divisibility by 3, 12+k must be divisible by 3. k=0 → 12 ✓. But if k must be minimum positive: k=0 qualifies. Answer: 0.
- Divisibility and Remainders
8. Unit digit of 13^73 + 7^55:
- A. 0
- B. 2
- C. 4
- D. 6 (Correct)
Explanation: The unit digit of 13^73 is the unit digit of 3^73, which is 3. The unit digit of 7^55 is also 3. So the sum has unit digit 6.
- Divisibility and Remainders
9. How many prime numbers are between 40 and 60?
- A. 3
- B. 4 (Correct)
- C. 5
- D. 6
Explanation: Primes: 41, 43, 47, 53 = 4 primes.
- Divisibility and Remainders

- A. 10 (Correct)
- B. 15
- C. 20
- D. 25
Explanation: Subtract 8: 240, 310, 450. HCF = HCF(240,310,450)=10.
- Divisibility and Remainders
