It is given that $$k^4$$ + $$\frac{1}{k^4}$$ = 47 (where k > 0), then find the value of $$k^3 + \frac{1} {k^3}$$ .
$$k^4 + \frac{1}{k^4} +2 = 49 => (k^2+\frac{1}{k^2})^2 = 7^2 => k^2 +\frac{1}{k^2} = 7$$.
Similarly, $$k^2 + \frac{1}{k^2} + 2 = 9 => k+\frac{1}{k} = 3.$$
$$(k+1/k)^3 = k^3 + 1/k^3 + 3(k+1/k)=> k^3 +1/k^3 = 27 - 3*3 = 18.$$

In Roman numerals,
The values of M = 1000, D = 500, C = 100, L=50, X = 10, V = 5, 1 = 1.
The value of MMXVIII = 1000+1000+10+5+1+1+1 = 2018
2018 is the correct answer.
The least number which is a perfect square and is divisible by each of the numbers 14, 16, 18 is
The least number that is divisible by 14,16,18 will be the LCM of three which is 1008 but it is not a perfect square .
$$1008=2^4\cdot3^2\cdot7^{ }$$ To make it a perfect square you need to multiply it by 7.
1008*7=7056
Four people clap after every 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes and 50 minutes respectively. All of them clapped together at 10.00 am. Then they will again clap together at ________
All of them will clap together after LCM(20,30,40,50) minutes = 600 minutes=10hrs
Therefore they will clap together again at 8pm.
A number when successively divided by 5 and 6 gives remainders 3 and 2 respectively. What will be the remainders if the number is successively divided by 3 and 4 ?
Going in the reverse order
When a number is divided by 6, the remainder is 2 => the number is of the form 6k+2
When 6k+2 is divided by 5,the remainder is 3 => the number is of the form 5(6k+2)+3 = 30k+13
When 30k+13 is divided by 3, the remainder is 1.
The remaining is 3(10k+4), so when 10k+4 is divided by 4, the remainder is 0 or 2
Among the given options 1, 2 satisfies this condition.
How many zeros would be there in $$1024!$$
The number of zeros in n! = highest power of 5 in n!
Highest power of 5 in 1024! = [$$\frac{1024}{5}$$] + [$$\frac{1024}{25}$$] +[$$\frac{1024}{125}$$] + [$$\frac{1024}{625}$$] where [ ]is the greatest integer function.
Highest power of 5 in 1024! = 204+ 40+ 8+ 1 = 253
The unit digit in the final solution when, 13*27*63*51*98*46 is ...........
For calculating the units digit ,you only take last digit in each number and start multiplying them and when ever a 2 digit number is generated,you take only the units digit of that as well and go on.
Therefore 13*27*63*51*98*46 = 3*7*3*1*8*6 = 21*3*1*8*6 = 1*3*1*8*6 = 24*6 = 4*6 = 24 = 4
If the numbers between 01 to 65 which will be divisible by 4 are taken and then if the number present in the units places and tens places is swapped, post which they are written in ascending order, then which of the following number will be at 10th place from the last ?
Note that 01 when swapped will become 10 and so on.
The total number of multiples of 4 is 16. (04, 08, 12, ...., 64)
The numbers, which are multiples of 4, have their unit digit 0/2/4/6/8
The multiples of 4, with their unit digit as 8, are (08,28,48), and the multiples of 4, with their unit digit as 6, are (16, 36, 56).
The multiples of 4, with their unit digit as 4, are (04, 24, 44, 64), and the multiples of 4, with their unit digit as 2, are (12, 32, 52), the multiples of 4, with their unit digit as 0, are (20, 40, 60).
It is given that the number present in the units places and tens places is swapped, post which they are written in ascending order, then which of the following numbers will be at 10th place from the last => (16+1-10) = 7th from the beginning.
In ascending order (after swapping the digits), the least value will be those numbers that had '0' as their unit place. After that, the numbers had '2' as their unit place, and so on.
7th from the beginning = (3 numbers that had 0 as their unit place) + (3 numbers that had 2 as their unit place) + (1st number that had '4' as their unit place)
Hence, the first number that had 4 as their unit place now becomes (04 => 40). Hence, 40 is the correct answer.
The value of (P-a) * (P-b) * (P-c)………….* (P-z) is ____________
If the question would have been "can be" , then all the options would have been correct but since it has been given as 'is' , only option d satisfies.
Option A: The polynomial can start with any power of P. The order of powers of P does not make any difference.
Option B:It is possible only when P = a or b or c ...... or z
Option C:The polynomial can start with any power of P. The order of powers of P does not make any difference.
Option D:This is true in all the cases.
What number must be added to the expression $$16a^2 - 12a$$ to make it a perfect square?
$$16a^2 - 12a$$ = $$\left(4a\right)^2-\left(2\right)\left(4a\right)\left(\ \frac{\ 3}{2}\right)$$
by adding $$\left(\ \frac{\ 3}{2}\right)^2\ $$ we can write it as $$\left(\ 4a-\frac{\ 3}{2}\right)^2\ $$
Hence $$\left(\frac{\ 3}{2}\right)^2\ =\ \ \frac{\ 9}{4}$$ is required answer
The difference of two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger number by the smaller, we get 6 as quotient and 15 as remainder. What is the smaller number ?
Let smaller number be $$x$$
The bigger number will be $$6x+15$$
Their difference = $$5x+15 = 1365$$
$$x = 270$$ is required answer
The last two-digits in the multiplication $$122 \times 123 \times 125 \times 127 \times 129$$ will be
While finding the last 2 digits, we can ignore the hundredth digit of each number and the last two digit will be the same as last two digit in case of $$22\times\ 23\times\ 25\times\ 27\times\ 29$$.
25*22= 550, which is an important result.
The rest numbers, 23, 27 and 29 when multiplied by 550, will result in the same last 2 digits as odd number multiplied by 5 will always give 5 as the last digit and we already have 0 at the end of it. So, odd number* 50= X50 always.
So, the last 2 digits will always be 50.
If the numerator of a fraction is increased by 200% and the denominator is increased by 200%, then resultant fraction is $$2\frac{4}{5}$$. What is the original fraction?
Let the original fraction be $$\ \frac{\ a}{b}$$.
Given that Numerator, a is increased by 200% or it becomes 3 times. So, new numerator= 3a.
The denominator increases by 200%, and it also becomes 3 times. So, new denominator= 3b.
So, the new fraction= $$\ \frac{\ 3a}{3b}$$, which is same as $$\ \frac{\ a}{b}$$, the old fraction.
The value of the fraction is given to be $$\ 2\frac{\ 4}{5}=\ \ \frac{\ 14}{5}$$, which is also the old fraction.
Since, none of the first three options match. Option D is the correct choice.
The value of $$\ \frac{\ \ \frac{\ 1}{2}divided\ by\ \frac{\ 1}{2}of\ \ \frac{\ 1}{2}}{\ \frac{\ 1}{2}+\ \frac{\ 1}{2}of\ \ \frac{\ 1}{2}}$$
We always follow BODMAS
Now first taking numerator
which $$\frac{1}{2}divided\ by\ \frac{1}{2\ }\ of\ \frac{1}{2}$$
so we get $$\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}\times\ \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$$
Now taking denominator we get $$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\times\ \frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{4}$$
Taking ratio
we get : $$\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{2}{3}$$
What smallest number should be added to 4456 so that the sum is completely divisible by 6?
For divisibility by 6, number should be divide by 3 and even.
Sum of number = 4 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 19
For divisible by 3, 2 number should be added so,
Number = 4456 + 2 = 4458
After distributing the sweets equally among 25 children, 8 sweets remain. Had the number of children been 28, 22 sweets would have been left after equally distributing. What is the smallest possible total number of sweets ?
Let the total number of chocolates be C
let chocolates received by each child = x
After distributing the sweets equally among 25 children, the number of chocolates left = 8
25x+8=C - Eq 1
Had there been 28 children, the number of chocolates that would be required = 22
25x+8-22 should be divisible by 28 - Eq 2
25x-14 should be divisible by 28
28x-(3x+14) should be divisible by 28
(3x+14) should be divisible by 28.
==> x=14
The total number of chocolates = 25x+8 = 25*14+8=358
C is the correct answer.
Three persons start walking together and their steps measure 40 cm, 42 cm and 45 cm respectively. What is the minimum distance each should walk so that each can cover the same distance in complete steps?
Minimum distance will be LCM of 40 cm, 42 cm and 45 cm
40 = 23 x 5
42 = 2 x 3 x 7
45 = 32 x 5
LCM = 23 x 32 x 5 x 7 = 2520 cm
=25 m 20cm
A is the correct answer.
Let x denote the greatest 4-digit number which when divided by 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 leaves a remainder of 4, 5, 6 7 and 8 respectively. Then, the sum of the four-digits of x is
The least number which when divided by 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 leaves a remainder of 4, 5, 6 7 and 8 respectively is LCM(6, 7, 8, 9, 10) -2
=2520-2= 2518
The number will be in the form of k * LCM(6, 7, 8, 9, 10) -2
When k = 3, the value of x =7558
When k = 4, the value of x =10078
So the value of x = 7558
Sum of the digits of x = 7+5+5+8= 25
A is the correct answer.
The average of 4 distinct prime numbers a, b, c, d is 35, where a < b < c < d. a and d are equidistant from 36 and b and c are equidistant from 34 and a, b are equidistant from 30 and c and d are equidistant from 40. The difference between a and d is:
Given,
The average of the four prime numbers = 35.
a + b + c + d = 35 * 4 = 140.
Since a and d are equidistant from 36.
a + d = 72 --- Eq (1)
b + c = 68 --- Eq (2)
a + b = 60 --- Eq (3) and c + d = 80 --- Eq (4)
Using the equation (3) let us look for the prime values of a and b and the corresponding values of c and d using Eq 2 and 1.
Also given that a < b < c < d.
(a, b, c, d) = 29, 31, 37, 43
d - a = 43 - 29 = 14
B is the correct answer.
A number G236G0 can be divided by 36 if G is:
36 = 9*4 Since 9 and 4 are co-prime to each other, we can say that for a number to be divisible by 36 it must be divisible by both 9 and 4.
For G236G0, to be divisible by 4, last two digits should be divisible by 4.
Hence G0 should be a multiple of 4.
Possible values of G are 2, 4, 6, 8, 0
For the number to be divisible by 9, the sum of the digits should be a multiple of 9
G+2+3+6+G+0 = 11+2G should be multiple of 9
If G = 0, 11+2G is not a multiple of 9
If G = 2, 11+2G is not a multiple of 9
If G = 4, 11+2G is not a multiple of 9
If G = 6, 11+2G is not a multiple of 9
If G = 8, 11+2G is a multiple of 9.
Hence 8 is the correct answer.

Find out the appropriate next number in the series from the options below :
0, 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, 42, ?
In the given series, the difference between the terms is in A.P. with a common difference of 2.
30-20 = 10
42-30 = 12
So, next term will be 42+14 = 56
The missing numbers in the below series would be
1 : 1, 8 : 4, 9 : 27, 64 : 16, 25 : 125, ? : ?, 49 : 343
1st term - 1^2:1^3
2nd term - 2^3:2^2
3rd term - 3^2:3^3 ...and so on.
The missing term is 6^3:6^2
Alternate:
Let us assume n is the nth term of the series-
When n is odd, the term is $$n^2:n^3$$
When n is even, the term is $$n^3:n^2$$
For n = 1,
1:1
For n = 2,
8:4
For n = 3,
9:27
For n = 4
64:16
Similarly, for n = 6
216:36
$$\sqrt{110.25} \times \sqrt{0.01} \div \sqrt{0.0025} - \sqrt{420.25}$$ equal to
We have :
$$\sqrt{\ \frac{11025}{100}}\times\ \sqrt{\ \frac{1}{100}}\ \ \div\sqrt{\ 0.0025}-\sqrt{\ 420.25}$$
Using BODMAS, we get
= $$10.5\times\ \frac{0.1}{0.05}-\sqrt{\ \frac{42025}{100}}$$
= 21-20.5
= 0.5
In the following series find the one number that is wrong
2, 3, 13, 37, 86, 167, 288
We have the series as : 2,3,13,37,86,167,288
Now taking difference between 2 consecutive terms :
3-2 =1
13-3 =10
37-13=24
86-37 = 49
167-86 = 81
288-167 = 121
Now if you observe the differences are squares of consecutive odd numbers except 13-3 and 37-13 and so we can say in place of 13 , it should have been 12
Hence 13 is the wrong number .
In a row at a bus stop, A is 7th from the left and B is 9th from the right. They both interchange their
positions. A becomes 11th from the left. How many people are there in the row?
After interchanging the positions, A becomes 11th from the left. So B must have been 11th from the left and 9th from the right before the interchange. Hence the total number of people = 11+9-1=19
If n = 1 + x, where x is the product of 4 consecutive positive integers, then which of the following is/are true?
1. n is odd;
2. n is prime
3. n is a perfect square
Let's assume $$x$$ to be product of $$a, a+1, a+2,$$ and $$a+3$$
Hence, $$x=a(a+1)(a+2)(a+3)$$
$$n=a(a+1)(a+2)(a+3)+1$$
$$n=a(a+3)(a+1)(a+2)+1$$
$$n=(a^2+3a)(a^2+3a+2)+1$$
Let's assume$$a^2+3=p$$
$$n=p(p+2)+1$$
$$n=p^2+2p+1$$
$$n=(p+1)^2$$
Hence, we can say that n is a perfect square.
Hence, 3 is true and 2 is automatically false as perfect squares can't be prime.
Product of any 4 consecutive integers is always even, as one of the numbers among the 4 consecutive integers will be even and any number multiplied by an even number is even. x is even, hence x+1 is odd. thus n is odd.
Hence both 1 and 3 are true.
The number 311311311311311311311 is
By looking into the option, we can see that we only need to check the divisibility of the given number by 3 and 11.
Divisibility test by 3 : The given number, 311311311311311311311 has seven 3s and fourteen 1s.
So, the sum of the digits in the number= (7*3)+(14*1)= 21+14=35.
Since, 35 is not divisible by 3, the given number is not divisible by 3.
Divisibility test by 11: The sum of digits at odd places= (1+3+1+1+3+1+1+3+1+1+3)= 19
The sum of digits at even places= Sum of all the digits- Sum of digits at odd places= 35-19= 16.
Since, the difference between the the sum of digits at odd places and the sum of digits at even places, i.e. 19-16 is not a multiple of 11.
So, the given number is also not divisible by 11.
Hence, option D

Symbiosis runs a Corporate Training Programme. At the end of running the first programme its total takings were Rs 38950. There were more than 45 but less than 100 particulars. What was the participant fee the programme?
Total taking = number of participants * cost per participant
38950 = $$2\times\ 5^2\times\ 19\times\ 41$$
50, 82, and 95 are the only factor of 38950 which lies between 45 to 100.
If, we check for 50,
Cost per participant = 38950/50 = 779
If, we check for 82,
Cost per participant = 38950/82 = 475
Hence 95 is number of participants.
Cost per participant = 38950/95 = 410
Which is option A.

T(1) = 1
T(2) = 6
T(3) = 6
T(4) = 36
T(5) = 216
T(6) = T(5)*T(4)
Hence next term is 36*216 = 7776
