What least number must be added to 1056, so that the sum is completely divisible by 23 ?

A.  2
B.  3
C.  18
D.  21























 Answer: Option A
Explanation: If the number 1056 is completely divisible by 23 means, remainder should come zero.
But if we divide 1056 by 23, the remainder is 2.
So if 2 is added to the 1056, we get remainder 0.
Therefore solution is 2

Find the number of perfect squares in the given series 2013, 2020, 2027,.

Find the number of perfect squares in the given series 2013, 2020, 2027,................, 2300   (Hint 44^2=1936) a. 1   b. 2    c. 3   d. Can’t be determined Answer: a Explanation: The given series is an AP with common difference of 7. So the terms in the above series are in the form of 2013 + 7k.  We have to find the perfect squares in this format in the given series. Given that 44^2 = 1936. Shortcut: To find the next perfect square, add 45th odd number to 44^2. So 45^2 = 1936 + (2 x 45 -1) = 2025 46^2 = 2025 + (2 x 46 - 1) = 2116 47^2 = 2116 + (2 x 47 - 1) = 2209 Now subtract 2013 from the above numbers and divide by 7. Only 2209 is in the format of 2013 + 7k.  One number satisfies.
