= 17 × (46 + 59 − 5) = 17 × 100
= 1700
9. Find the value of 2 × 15 × 5 × 6.
Ans: 900
Solution:
2×15 = 30
5×6 = 30
30×30 = 900

10. Find the value of 28 ÷ 12 + 27 ÷ 12 + 5 ÷ 12.


Ans: 5
Solution:
(28 + 27 + 5) ÷ 12 = 60 ÷12 = 5

Number Theory

Odd + Even + Odd + Even + Odd + Even
Odd + Odd + Odd
Even + Odd
Odd

13. What is the largest 3-digit number that can be


divisible by both 7 and 8?
Ans: 952
Solution:
LCM of 7 and 8: 56
Largest 3-digit divisible by 56: 952

14. If A and B are both 1-digit numbers, find the


value of A + B.
̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐵 + ̅̅̅̅
𝐵𝐴 = 165
Ans: 15
Solution:
A + B must have a sum with 5 in its one’s digit.
Since we have a 3-digit number results, A + B
must be 15.

Solution:
33 ÷ 3 = 11
11 + 2 = 13

18. How many squares are there in the figure


below? (The figure is made up of small squares)
Ans: 40
Solution:
5 × 4 + 4 × 3 + 3 × 2 + 2 × 1 = 20 + 12 + 6 + 2
= 40

by viewing the figure below from the right?

Ans: 6
Solution:
Count the squares visible when viewing from the
right.

20. The perimeter of a rectangle with integra side


lengths is 50. What is the maximum possible area
of this rectangle?
Ans: 156
Solution:
To get the maximum possible area, we must make
our rectangle square (or close to a square).
12 × 13 = 156

Combinatorics
21. Evaluate each of the following. How many 2-
digit number(s) is(are) there?
72÷8, 19 – 13, 26÷2, 100÷10, 5+4
Ans: 2
Solution:
72÷8 = 9
19 – 13 = 6
26÷2 = 13
100÷10 = 10
5+4 = 9
So, 2.

22. How many 3-digit number(s) are there having


each of its digits odd?
Ans: 125
Solution:
5×5×5 = 125

23. Choose 4 digits, without repetition, from 0, 2,


3, 5, 6, 7, 9 to form two 2-digit numbers. What is
the maximum possible value of the difference?
Ans: 77
Solution:
97 – 20 = 77
24. What is the greatest 4-digit odd number by
using 0, 1, 6, 7, 8, and 9? (Each number can only
be used once)
Ans: 9871
Solution:
Secure even by putting 1 in the once digit.
Arrange the remaining digits in decreasing order.

25. Choose 2 digits, without repetition, from 1, 2,


4, 5, 8 to form 2-digit numbers. Of these 2-digit
numbers, how many of them are even numbers?
Ans: 12
Solution:
Case 1 (2 in ones): 4×1 = 4
Case 2 (4 in ones): 4×1 = 4
Case 3 (8 in ones): 4×1 = 4
4 + 4 + 4 = 12
