- ✓
- B
- C
Equivalent decimal fractions
- D
Answer Decimals having the same number of decimal places are called like decimals i.e.
decimals having the same number of digits on the right of the decimal point are known as like decimals.
For example, $16.37$ and $18.97$ are like decimals as both of these decimal numbers are written up to $2$ places of decimal.
Hence, $16.37$ and $18.97$ are like decimal fractions.

- A
$12,24,36$
- B
$8,16,24$
- C
$16,32,48$
- ✓
$48,96,144$

- A
$\frac{10}{3}$
- ✓
$\frac{9}{4}$
- C
$\frac{15}{2}$
- D
$\frac{17}{3}$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $\frac{9}{4}$
By getting factors of $24 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3$
The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers,
then divide by how many numbers there are.
Mean of the factors will be = $\frac{2 + 2 + 2 + 3}{4} = \frac{9}{4}$
So, the correct answer is option $B.$

If $n$ is a natural number then $n (n + 1) (n + 2)$ is always divisible by
AnswerGiven that $n$ is a natural numberIf $n$ is even then $n, n + 2$ are divisible by $2$
If n is odd, then $n + 1$ is divisible by $2$
Therefore $n (n + 1) (n + 2)$ is always divisible by $2$
If we take three consecutive numbers, then there should be a multiple of $3$ among them Therefore $n (n + 1) (n + 2)$ is divisible by $3$
Therefore $n ( n + 1) (n + 2)$ is divisible by $2 \times 3 = 6$

If the number $2345$ a $60b$ is exactly divisible by $3$ and $5,$ then the maximum value of $a + b$ is:
Answer A number is divisible by $5$ if its last digit is either $0$ or $5$ out of which $5$ is maxim
$\therefore b = 5$
A number is divisible by $3$ if the sum of its digits is divisible by $3$
$2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 0 + 5 = 25$
So, we can add maximum $8$ to $25$ which will give us $33$ which is divisible by $3$
$\therefore a = 8$
Now, $a + b = 8 + 5 = 13$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(b).$

The $GCD$ of two numbers is $17$ and their $LCM$ is $765.$ How many pairs of values can the numbers assume$?$
Answer$GCD$ of two numbers is $17$
So, the numbers can be $17a$ and $17b.$
Now, $17a \times 17b = 17 \times 765$
$\Rightarrow ab = 45$
So, we can get two pairs
$a = 5$ and $b = 9$ or $a = 9$ and $b = 5$
Thus, the numbers are $17 \times 5 = 85$ and $17 \times 9 = 153.$
Also, we can get the other pair $17 \times 1 = 17$ and $765.$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(b).$
