10) When 987 and 643 are divided by same number 'n' the reminder is also
same, what is that number if the number is a odd prime number?
ANS : since both leave the same reminder, let the reminder be 'r',
then, 987 = an + r
and 643 = bn + r and thus
987 - 643 is divisible by 'r' and
987 - 643 = 344 = 86 * 4 = 43 * 8 and thus the prime is 43
hence 'r' is 43
11) when a number is divided by 11,7,4 the reminders are 5,6,3 respectively.
what would be the reminders when the same number is divided by 4,7,11
respectively?
ANS : whenever such problem is given,
we need to write the numbers in top row and rems in the bottom row like this
11 7 4
|\\
563
302 mod 4 = 2
75 mod 7 = 5
10 mod 11 = 10
14) There is a seller of cigerette and match boxes who sits in the narrow lanes
of cochin. He prices the cigerattes at 85 p, but found that there are no takers. So
he reduced the price of cigarette and managed to sell all the cigerattes, realising
Rs. 77.28 in all. What is the number of cigerattes?
a) 49
b) 81
c) 84
d) 92
ANS : (d)
since 77.28 = 92 * 84, and since price of cigarette is less than 85, we have (d)
as answer

In this case, 48 can be written as 16 * 3 = (24 * 3)
Now, increment the power of each of the prime numbers by 1 and multiply the result
Therefore, there will 10 factors including 1 and 48. Excluding, these two numbers, yo
will have 10 – 2 = 8 factors.

Problems on clocks can be tackled as assuming two runners going round a circle , on

Example 1 ) 259
9*2= 18.
25-18 = 7 which is divisible by 7 so 259 is also divisible by 7.
Example 2 ) 2793
3*2= 6
279-6= 273
now 3*2=6
27-6= 21 which is divisible by 7 so 2793 is also divisible by 7 .

PROFIT AND LOSS : In every exam there are from one to three
questions on profit and loss, stating that the cost was first
increased by certain % and then decreased by certain %. How
nice it would be if there was an easy way to calculate the final
change in % of the cost with just one formula. It would really
help
you in saving time and improving UR Percentile. Here is the
formula for the same :
So if 5 % = 1,000
then 100 % = 20,000.
C.P = 20,000
S.P = 20,000+ 1000= 21,000.
So if 25 % = 5,000
then 100 % = 20,000.
C.P = 20,000
S.P = 20,000 - 5,000= 15,000.
Solution :
TYPE1 : (100* 60 ) / (100+60) = 37.5 %
TYPE 2 : (100* 60 ) / (100-60) = 150 %
