(3) 5 5/47 days
(4) 4 4/9 days


Answers and solution:
1.(4) Let the unit digit be x and ten’s digit be y.
∴ Number
= 1000y + 100x + 10y + x
= 1010y + 101x = 101 (10y + x)
Clearly, this number is divisible by 101, which is the smallest three-digit prime number.

2.(4) The remainder will be same.
On dividing 9 by 6, reminder = 3
On dividing 81 by 6, remainder = 3
3.(4) Zeros are obtained if there is any zero at the end of any multiplicand and if 5 or multiply of  5 are multiplied by any
even number i.e(5)^n(2)^m has n zeros if n <m or zeros if m<n
Now ,we obtain  the index of 5 as follows:
Index = (1000/5) + (1000/5^2) + (1000/5^3) + (1000/5^4)
= 200+40+8+1 = 249

4.(3) Total age increased
= 11×2=22 months
Total age of new players
= (18 + 20) years + 22 months
= 39 years 10 months
∴ Their average age
= (39 years 10 months)/12
= 19 years 11 months
5.(4) Let HCF be h and LCM be l.
Then, l = 84h and l + h = 680
=> 84h + h = 680
=> h = 680/85=8
∴ l = 680-8 = 672
 ∴ Other number
= (672×8)/56=96

6.(4)
7.(4) Ratio = 1/2 ∶ 1/4 ∶ 5/16
= 8 : 4 : 5
Sum of ratios = 8 + 4 + 5 = 17
∴ Required answer
= Rs. ((8-4)/17)×68000
= Rs. 4/17×68000
= 16000
8.(2)
9.(2) CP = Rs. 900
∴ S.P. = 125% of 900
= Rs. ((900×125)/100)
= Rs. 1125
Let the marked price be Rs. x
∴ 90% of Rs. x = Rs. 1125
=> x = (1125×100)/90=Rs.1250
10.(3)
