$RHS$ part of the equation $36(8 + 3) =$ _______
  • A
    $38 + 11$
  • B
    $(36 \times 8) \times (36 − 3)$
  • $(36 \times 8) + (36 \times 3)$
  • D
    $(36 \times 8) + 3$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$(36 \times 8) + (36 \times 3)$

Using distributive formula ,
We can write, $a(b + c) = a \times b + a \times c$
So, $36(8 + 3) = (36 \times 8) + (36 \times 3)$

Mark the correct alternative in the following:
$x + 12 = 12 + 7,$ then by commutativity of addition $x =$
  • A
    $12$
  • $7$
  • C
    $19$
  • D
    $5$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$7$

Here, $x + 12 = 12 + 7.$
But, by commutative of addition,
We have $7 + 12 = 12 + 7$
So, comparing $x + 12 = 12 + 7$ and $7 + 12 = 12 + 7$
We have $x = 7$
Hence, the correct option is $(b).$

The greatest number which divides $134$ and $167$ leaving $2$ as remainder in each case is:
  • A
    $14$
  • B
    $19$
  • $33$
  • D
    $17$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$33$
First we subtract the required remainder from $134$ and $167.$
Thus, we will get $132$ and $165.$
$132 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 11 = 2^2 \times 3 \times 11$
$165 = 3 \times 5 \times 11 = 3^1 \times 5 \times 11$
$HCF = 3 \times 11 = 33$
Thus, the greatest number which divides $134$ and $167$ leaving $2$ as remainder in each case is $33$

Mark the correct alternative in the following:
If $n$ is an odd natural number greater than $1,$ then the product of its successor and predecessor:
  • A
    Is an odd natural number.
  • Is an even natural number.
  • C
    Can be even or odd.
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
Correct option: B.
Is an even natural number.

The successor and predecessor of an odd natural number are both even.
Here, $n = o$ dd. So
Successor of $n = n + 1 ($Even natural number$)$
Predecessor of $n = n - 1 ($Even natural number$)$
Product $= (n + 1) \times (n - 1) =$ even $\times $ even $=$ even
Thus, the product of the successor and predecessor of $n$ is an even number.
Hence, the correct option is $(b).$

  • A
    Is an even natural number.
  • Is an odd natural number.
  • C
    Can be even or odd.
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
Correct option: B.
Is an odd natural number.

 Here, $n$ is an even number.
Successor of $n = n + 1$
Predecessor of $n = n − 1$
Product $= (n + 1) \times (n − 1) = odd \times odd = odd$
Thus, the product of the successor and the predecessor of n is an odd natural number.

$\therefore\frac{0}{2}=0$
Similarly, $\frac{(6-6)}{2}=\frac{0}{2}=0$
Here, $0$ is an additive identity in the set of whole numbers.
$\therefore4 + 0 =4$
Thus, $4 + 0$ is not zero.
Hence, the correct option is $(d).$

MCQ 1001 Mark
Mark the correct alternative in the following:
If $(31 + 15) + x = 31 + (15 + 23),$ then by associativity of addition $x =?$
  • A
    $46$
  • B
    $38$
  • $23$
  • D
    $69$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$23$

Here, $(31 + 15) + x = 31 + (15 + 23).$
But, by associativity of addition,
We have $(31 + 15) + 23 = 31 + (15 + 23)$
So, comparing $(31 + 15) + x = 31 + (15 + 23)$ and $(31 + 15) + 23 = 31 + (15 + 23),$
We have $x = 23$
Hence, the correct option is $(c).$
