$n^2 + n + 1$ is a or an ______ number for all $\text{n}\in\text{N}$
AnswerConsider $n^2$$+ n = n (n + 1)$
We know that if $n$ is a number, then $n +1$ will be its consecutive number And product of a number and its consecutive number is always even.
For example, $2 \times 3$ $= 6; 9 \times 10$ $= 90$ And as $n^2$$+ n$ is an even number.
Then $n^2$ $+ n + 1$ will be the next consecutive number of the even number, which is an odd number.
Hence, $n^2$ $+ n + 1$ will always be an odd number for all natural numbers.

If $a$ and $b$ are whole numbers, then $a - b$ is:
Answer If $a$ and $b$ are whole numbers, then there may be the following $3$ cases:
Case $1$: When $a > b$ Then, $a - b \Rightarrow $ Whole/ Natural number
Case $2$: When $a < b$Then, $a - b \Rightarrow $ Integer
Case $3$: When $a = 0$ and $b = 0$ Then, $a - b \Rightarrow $ Whole number.
Hence, option $D$ is correct.

The value of $1735 \times 1232 - 1735 \times 232$ is:
- A
$17350$
- B
$173500$
- ✓
$1735000$
- D
$173505$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $1735000$
Using distributive law of multiplication over subtraction, we get
$1735 \times 1232 - 1735 \times 232 = 1735 (1232 - 232)$
$= 1735 \times 1000$
$= 1735000$

How many $4$ digit numbers, in all are there$?$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $9000$
$\Rightarrow $ The smallest $4 −$ digit number $= 1000.$
$\Rightarrow $ The greatest $4 −$ digit number $= 9999.$
$\Rightarrow $ Total $4 −$ digit numbers $= (9999 - 1000) + 1$
$= 8999 + 1$
$= 9000$
So, we say that we have $9000$ four - digit numbers.

Mark the correct alternative in the following:
The number of whole numbers between the smallest whole number and between the greatest three digit number is:
Answer The smallest whole number is $0.$
Greatest three digit number $= 999$
The number of whole numbers from $0$ to $999$ is $1000.$
So, the number of whole numbers between $0$ and $999 ($excluding $0$ and $999)$ is $1000 - 2 = 998.$
Hence, the correct option is $(c).$

The number which when divided by $53$ gives $8$ as quotient and $5$ as remainder is:
AnswerHere, Divisor $= 53,$ Quotient $= 8$ and Remainder $= 5.$
Now, using the relation Dividend $=$ Divisor $\times $ Quotient $+$ Remainder
We get Dividend,
$= 53 \times 8 + 5$
$= 424 + 5$
$= 429$
Thus, the required number is $429.$

The whole number which does not have a predecessor is:
AnswerStep $1$: Check which of these numbers has a predecessor.
Whole numbers are $0, 1, 2, 3...$ and so on.
Predecessor of a number is the number that comes before it.
But since there is no whole number before $0,$ the whole number which does not have a predecessor is $0.$

What least number should be added to $10056$ to get a number exactly divisible by $23?$
AnswerHere, we have to tell that what least number must be added to $10056$ to get a number exactly divisible by $23.$
So, first we will divide $10056$ by $23.$

Remainder $= 5$
Required number $= 23 - 5 = 18$
So, $18$ must be added to $10056$ to get a number exactly divisible by $23.$
i.e., $10056 + 18 = 10074$

Hence, $10074$ is exactly divisible by $23.$

Which of the following depicts associative law for multiplication$?$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $(a \times b) \times c = a \times (b \times c)$
Associative property for multiplication states that the product of any three or more numbers remains the same irrespective of the order in which the multiplication is carried out.
$\therefore (a \times b) \times c = a \times (b \times c).$
