2. If 5 is subtracted from three times a number, the result is 16. Find the number.
(a) 6 (b) 7 (c) 9 (d) 8
Ans. (b)
Sol. Let no. be x
3x − 5 = 16
3x = 16 + 5
3x = 21
21
x= =7

3. Find the number which when multiplied by 7 is increased by 78:
(a) 14 (b) 13 (c)12 (d) 11
Ans. (b)
Sol. Let the No. be x 7 x − x = 78
6 x = 78
78
x= = 13

4. The denominator of a rational number is greater than its numerator by 3. If 3 is subtracted from the
numerator and 2 is added to its denominator, the new number becomes 1/5. The original number is
(a) -5/8 (b) 5/8 (c) 3/8 (d) -3/8
Ans. (b)
Sol. The numerator of a rational number be x.
Denominator of the number = x + 3
Now, if 3 is subtracted from the numerator and 2 is added to the denominator, the number becomes
x −3 1 x −3 1
= =
x +3+ 2 5 x+5 5
5 ( x − 3) = x + 5 5 x − 15 = x + 5
4 x = 20 x = 5
Numerator = 5, Denominator = 5 + 3 = 8

5. The sum of three consecutive natural numbers is 114. Find the numbers.
(a) 37,38,39 (b) 36,38,40 (c) 36,37,38 (d) 38,39,40
Ans. (a)
Sol. Let the 1st no. be ‘x’
Then other two consecutive natural no. be x + 1, x + 2
x + ( x + 1) + ( x + 2 ) = 114
3x + 3 = 114
3x = 111
111
x= = 37

6. Number obtained by interchanging the digit of a two-digit number is more than the original number
by 27 and the sum of the digit is 13. What is the original number?
(a) 58 (b) 67 (c) 76 (d) 85
Ans. (a)
Sol. We have sum of digit = 13
Let one’s place digit = x
The tens place digit = 13 − x
Original number = 10 (13 − x ) + x
= 130 − 9x
According to ques,
130 − 9 x + 27 = 10 x + 13 − x
− 9 x − 10 x + x =13 − 130 − 27
− 18x = −144
x =8
Original number = 130 − 9x
= 130 − 9 8
= 130 − 72 = 58
7. Sum of the digits of two digit number is 9. The number obtained by interchanging the digits is 18
more than twice the original number. The original number is
8. The sum of four consecutive integers is 202. What is the smallest of these integers ?
(a) 76 (b) 49 (c) 27 (d) 52
Ans. (b)
Sol. Let the four consecutive integers are x, ( x + 1) , ( x + 2 ) and( x + 3)
According to question,
x + ( x + 1) + ( x + 2 ) + ( x + 3) = 202
4 x + 6 = 202
4 x = 202 − 6
4 x = 196 x = 49
The smallest integer = 177
9. The sum of seven consecutive natural numbers is 1617. How many of these are prime?
(a) 4 (b) 5 (c) 2 (d) 7
Ans. (c)
Sol. Let the required seven consecutive natural numbers be, x, ( x + 1) , ( x + 2 ) , ( x + 3) , ( x + 4 ) , ( x + 5 )
and ( x + 6 )
According to question,
x + ( x + 1) + ( x + 2 ) + ( x + 3) + ( x + 4 ) + ( x + 5 ) + ( x + 6 ) = 1617
1596
7 x + 21 = 1617 7 x = 1617 − 21 = 1596 x = = 228
7
The required natural numbers are 228, 229, 230, 231, 232, 233, 234 where 233 and 229 are
prime numbers.
Total number of prime numbers is 2
10. In a two digit number, the number at ten’s place is double of the number at unit’s place. If we
exchange the numbers mutually then the number decreases by 18, then the number is
(a) 24 (b) 36 c) 39 (d) 42
Ans. (c)
Sol. Let the number at unit’s place is x.
Then, number at ten’s place is 2x.
Original number = 10 ( 2 x ) + x = 20 x + x = 21x
Reversed number = 10 x + 2 x = 12 x
12 x = 21x − 18 21x − 12 x = 18
9 x = 18 x = 2
Original number is 21 2 = 42
