Answers and Solution
1.(a) Here, 52 – 33 = 78 – 59 = 117 – 98 = 19
Required number = (LCM of 52, 78 and 117) – 19
= 468 – 19 => 449
Sum of digits = 4 + 4 + 9 = 17

2.(d) Let a = 7p + 5
=> b = 7q + 4
Where p and q are natural numbers.
ab = (7p + 5) (7q + 4)
= 49pq + 7(4p + 5q) + 20
= 7(7pq + 4p + 5q) + 7 ×2+6
When ab is  divided by 7, remainder will be 6.

3.(a) 4 = (400 ×2 (r1- r2 ))/100 => r1 - r2 =1/2=0.5%

4.(c) Total C.P of milk = 28 * 8.50 = Rs. 238/-
Profit = 12.5/100 * 238 = Rs. 29.75/-
Now according to question,
Let x L of water to be added.
Profit = x * 8.5
29. 75 = x * 8.5
x = 3.5L
5.(d)
6.(a)
7.(b)
8.(a) Let the monthly salary of the person be Rs. x.
According to question.
(x *(100-30-25-20-12))/100=1040
(x *13)/100 = 1040
=> x = (1040 ×100)/13
=Rs.8,000/-
9.(c)
10.(b) (A + B)’s 1 days work = 1/30
(A+ B)’s 20 days work = 20/30 = 2/3
Remaining work = 1- 2/3 = 1/3
so A alone can do the work in 20 x 3 = 60 days.
