2. (C) Since, 738A6A is divisible by 11,
therefore
Sum of odd places Sum of even places
= either multiple of 11 or 0
(7 + 9 + 6) (3 + A + A) = either multiples
of 11 or 0.
21 2A + 3 = either multiple of 11 or 0
18 2A = 0 ( it cannot be a multiple
of 11)
2A = 18

5. (D)

6 6 6 ....

Factorize 6 as the multiplication of two

consecutive natural numbers. The greater
one will be the answer.
As,
6 =23
Therfore, 6 6 6 .... = 3

6. (D) Let the two consecutive odd numbers be

x and (x + 2).
Then, according to the question,
(x)2 + (x + 2)2 = 394
2
x + x2 + 4 + 4x = 394

2x2 + 4x = 390

x2 + 2x = 195

x(x + 2) = 195 = 13 15

x = 13

Thus, sum of the numbers

= x + (x + 2)
= 13 + 15
= 28
7. (C) We know that, when (a 1)n is divided
by a, then remainder = (1)n
Now, 6767 + 67
= (68 1)67 + 67
When (68 1)67 is divided by 68, then
remainder = (1)67 = 1
Thus, when 6767 + 67 is divided by 68,
then remainder = 1 + 67 = 66

19. (A) Let Earnings of A = 2x
and Earnings of B = x
Expenditure of A = 5y
Expenditure of B = 3y
Further, suppose monthly savings of A = 4z
And monthly savings of B = z
Also, total monthly savings of A and B
= 5000
4z + z = 5000
5z = 5000

z = 1000

Now using,
Income Expenditure = Savings
2x 5y = 4000
... (i)
and
x 3y = 1000
... (ii)
Multiplying Eq. (ii) by 2,
2x 6y = 2000
... (iii)
Subracting EQ. (iii) from Eq. (i), we get
5y + 6y = 2000
y = 2000

Putting this value of Eq. (ii), we get

x = 1000 + 6000

Thus, monthly salary of B = ` 7000
