Practice MCQ Questions and Answer on Number System
1.
If (-1)n + (-1)4n = 0, then n is
(A) Any positive integer
(B) Any negative integer
(C) Any odd natural number
(D) Any even natural number
Solution:
Putting n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 . . . . n = 1 in the given equation (-1)1 + (-1)4 × 1 = 0 Or, -1 + 1 = 0 n = 2 (-1)2 + (-1)4 × 2 = 0 Or, 1 + 1 ≠ 0 n = 3, -1 + 1 = 0 We will see that the given condition will be satisfy only for ANY ODD NATURAL NUMBER.
2.
What is the minimum number of four digits formed by using the digits 2, 4, 0, 7 ?
(A) 2047
(B) 2247
(C) 2407
(D) 2470
Solution:
Required number = 2047
3.
The decimal fraction ÃÂÃÂ is equal to :
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Solution:
4.
If m and n are positive integers, then the digit in the unit's place of 5n + 6m is always :
(A) 1
(B) 5
(C) 6
(D) n + m
Solution:
In 5n we have 5 as unit digit and in 6m we have 6 as unit digit. ∴ 5 + 6 = 11(i.e unit digit always be 1)
5.
If n is a whole number greater then 1, then n2 (n2 - 1) is always divisible by -
(A) 16
(B) 12
(C) 10
(D) 8
Solution:
n2(n2 - 1) put n = 2 = 22(22 - 1) = 4(4 - 1) = 4 × 3 = 12 Check the option it is divisible by 12.
6.
The digit at Hundred's place value of 17! is:
(A) 1
(B) 0
(C) 2
(D) 3
Solution:
We know that after 5! we get one zero at the end of the number. We can say that in 17! we get minimum three zeros. The hundred's place value od 17! = 0
7.
If 17200 is divided by 18, the remainder is -
(A) 17
(B) 16
(C) 1
(D) 2
Solution: Apply Binomial theorem Remainder always comes from last term is (18)0 (- 1)200
8.
What is the least number which when divided by 5, 6, 7 and 8 leaves a remainder 3, but when divided by 9 leaves no remainder?
(A) 1108
(B) 1683
(C) 2007
(D) 3363
Solution:
LCM of 5, 6, 7 and 8 = 840 Hence the number can be written in the form (840k + 3) which is divisible by 9 If k = 1, number = (840 × 1) + 3 = 843 which is not divisible by 9 If k = 2, number = (840 × 2) + 3 = 1683 which is divisible by 9 Hence, 1683 is the least number which when divided by 5, 6, 7 and 8 leaves a remainder 3, but when divided by 9 leaves no remainder
9.
