In a basket of apples,
when counted in twos, there was one extra
when counted in threes, there were two extra when counted in fours, there were three extra
when counted in fives, there were four extra
when counted in sixes, there were five extra.
However, if the apples were counted in sevens, no extra apple was left. Can you calculate the minimum number of apples that were present in the basket ?
119
Let the number of apples = X
X / 2 => Remainder = 1
X / 3 => Remainder = 2
X / 4 => Remainder = 3
X / 5 => Remainder = 4
X / 6 => Remainder = 5
X / 7 => Remainder = 0
Therefore, X is divisible by 7.
Whenever X is divided by any number less than 7, the remainder is 1 less than the divisor.
=> X + 1 is the LCM of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Now LCM of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 = 60
But 60 - 1 = 59 is not divisible by 7
60 * 2 = 120
120 - 1 = 119 which is divisible by 7
This means that X + 1 = 120 or X = 119
Number of minimum number of apples in the basket = 119
You can see some missing numbers in the figure. You have to fill them such that the sum of each side equals 36.
Refer to the picture for solution.
This cute little figure holds the name of a movie. Can you find out which movie is that ?
The movie name is - Identity Thief. The thief clipart on the top of the code was a giveaway.
A and B have a certain number of chocolates with them. If B gives one chocolate to A, they will have equal number of chocolates. But if A gives one chocolate to B, then A will be left with half the number of chocolates that B has.
Can you find out the number of chocolates they have right now?
Let us say that A has P no. of chocolates and B has Q no. of chocolates right now.
Now according to the question:
P + 1 = Q - 1
=> Q - P = 2 ------ (i)
Also, P - 1 = (Q + 1) / 2
=> 2P - Q = 3 ------ (ii)
Equating (i) and (ii)
P = 5 and Q = 7
Therefore, A has 5 chocolates and B has 7 chocolates right now.
The center of the third figure is empty. What digit should fit inside?
The pattern that is being followed here is reversing the corner digits and adding them.
First Square:
13 + 32 + 11 + 34 = 90
Second Square:
21 + 19 + 27 + 16 = 83
Third Square:
33 + 33 + 22 + 26 = 125
Thus the missing number is 125
Andy is father of B and Dexter is son of C. Eric is brother of A and E also has a daughter Fanny, if Cindy is sister of A then what is the relation between the Fanny, B and Dexter ?
Parent of B is Andy.
Parent of Fanny is Eric.
Parent of Dexter is Cindy.
Eric is Andy brother and Cindy is Andy sister.
Thus, Fanny, B and Dexter are cousins.
In the given figure, you can see that there are four circles numbered from 1 to 4. In the fourth circle, a digit is missing. Can you find out a relation and tell which number will suffice the pattern?
The number will be 30.
1. (5 + 4) * 2 = 18
2. (12 + 8) * 3 = 60
3. (3 + 9) * 4 = 48
4. (4 + 2) * 5 = 30
A network of 20 x 10 squares is given to you.
Can you calculate how many unique squares and rectangles can be formed combining two or more individual squares ?
11550
Total number of rectangles and squares will be equal to: (Summation of row numbers) * (Summation of column numbers)
= (1 + 2 + 3 +......+ 19 + 20) * (1 + 2 + 3 +......+ 9 + 10)
= 210 * 55
= 11550
