4. WHAT IS THE SIMPLIFIED FORM OF THE FOLLOWING EXPRESSION?
400 X 12 X 5 = ?
Ans: 24000
EXPLANATION OF NUMERICAL PROBLEMS
1)Let 106 be a and 94 be b; so it will be a X a – b X b = a2 – b2 = (a+b) (a-b)
Putting value of a and b (106 + 94) (106 – 94) = 200 X 12 = correct: 2400 (i)) ans. ( 400x12x5)
2)Taking 8796 common we get 8796( 223 + 77) = 8796 X 300 = correct:2638800 (ii))
3)Doing the division one by one
(8988 /8)÷4 = 8988 ÷4 = 2247 ÷4 = 2247
8 2 2 X 4
Correct: 280.875 (iv) ans ( 256^0.16 x (256)^0.09 is equal to)
4) Let 287 as a and 269 as b
So, a X a + b X b -2 ab = a2+ b2– 2ab = (a-b)2; putting the value of a and b
(287 – 269)2 = (18)2 = correct:324 (iv) ans.
5)Unit digit in 34
= 1 => (34
)16
= 1 ; so, 365
= (34
)16
X 31
= 1 X 3 = 3;
(62)28 X 63 = 6
74 = 1 => (74)17 X 73 = 1 X 3 => 3
So, unit digit will be (3 X 6 X 3 ) =correct: 4 (iii)ans.
6)Doing the division one by one
666 ÷3 =111 ÷3 =correct: 37 (i))ans.

7)It is the multiplication between 4-digit and 3- digit ; 2056 X 0987
Step 1: 6 X 7 = 42 (2)
=>Step 2 : 5 X 7 + 6 X 8 + 4 (carry) = 87 (7)
Step 3 : 7 X 0 + 6 X 9 + 5 X 8 + 8 (carry) = 102 (2)
=>Step 4 : 6 x 0 + 7 x 2 + 5 x 9 + 8 X 0 + 10 (carry) = 69 (9)
Step 5 : 5 X 0 + 2 X 8 + 9 X 0 + 6 (carry) = 22 (2)
=>Step 6 : 0 X 0 + 2 X 9 + 2 (carry) = 20 (0)
Step 7 : 2 X 0 + 2 (carry) = 2 (2)
= correct: 2029272 (ii) ans.

= 3610000 + 16 + 15200 = correct :3625216(iii) ans.
11)Let the number be a and b, so according to the question: a + b = 12 and ab = 35;
(a+b)/ab = a/ab + b /ab = 1/a + 1/b = 12/35
So sum of reciprocal of given number is correct: 12/35 (i)
ans. ( 256^0.16 x (256)^0.09 is equal to)
12)Given expression = 800/64 X 1296/30 = correct : 450 (iv) ( 144/0.144=14.4/x)
13).9 3/4 + 7 2/17 – 9 1/15 = 9 + 7 -9 + (3/4 + 2/17 – 1/15) = 7 + (765 + 120 -68)/1020
= correct: 7 817
/1020 (iv)ans.
14)Let 8597 – x = 3071 => x = 8597 -3071 = correct : 5526 (iii)
15).The required fraction is x/1 and reciprocal is 1/x ; so, (1/x) – (x/1) = 9/20 => (1-x)2/x = 9/20
Or,20 -20x2 = 9x
=> 20x2+ 25x -16x -20 = 0
Or, 5(4x +5) – 4 (4x+ 5) = 0
=> (4x + 5) (5x -4) = 0
Or, x = – 5/4 (not possible) or 4/5
So, correct : 4/5 (iii) ans.
16)Let x = 9999 + 19657 + 33994 => 9999 + 53651 =correct :63650 (i)
17) (112 X 54) = 112 X (10/2)4 = 112 X 104 = 1120000/16 = correct :70,000 (ii)ans
24
18)LCM of 8, 16,40 and 80 = 80; so, 7/8 = 70/80 ; 13/16 = 65/80 ; 31/ 40 = 62/80
and 63/80 =63/80
so, 70/80 > 65/80 > 63/80 > 62/80
therefore, correct : 7/8 is the greatest (i)ans.
19) 4 = 6 + 0.46 ; or 6 + 46/100 => (600 + 46)/100 = so, correct :646/100(iv) ans
