Find the next number in the series 125, 80, 45, 20, ....

 

Any number which can be expressed as a fraction of two integers like P & Q as P/Q where Q is not equal to zero.

Every integer is a rational number since Q can be 1.

Hence, in the given options, 4 can be expressed as a simple fraction as 4/1. And all other options cannot be expressed as fractions.

Hence, 4 is a rational number in the given options.

We know that,

$$\begin{gathered} i2 = -1 \\ i3 = i2 x i = -1 x i = -i \\ i4 = i2 x i2 = -1 x -1 = 1 \\ Hence, i233 =i4 x 58 + 1 = i232 x i1 = 1 x i = i \end{gathered}$$

The mutiplicative inverse of a number is nothing but a reciprocal of a number.

Now, the product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is always equal to 1.

For example :

Let the number be 15

Multiplicative inverse of 15 = 1/15

The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is = 15 x 1/15 = 1.

Here we have 25 divided by 7.

25 will not go directly in 7

Hence, we get the result in decimals.

25/7 = 3.571.

A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 whose only factors are 1 and itself.

Factors of 5 are 1, 5

Factors of 11 are 1, 11

Factors of 21 are 1, 3, 7, 21

Factors of 37 are 1, 37.

Hence, according to the definition of a prime number, 21 is not a prime number as it has more than two factors.

The Multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40 upto 40. Mutiples of 4 means which can be divided by 4 leaving remainder '0'.

Common Multiples of 4 & 6 are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 upto 60.

Let the three consecutive odd numbers be x, x+2, x+4

Then,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 93

=> 3x + 6 = 93

=> 3x = 87

=> x = 29 => 29, 31, 33 are three consecutive odd numbers.

Therefore, the middle number is 31.

LCM of 2, 3, 7 is 42.

=> (700 – 300)/42 = 9  22/42 => 9 Numbers.
