Q:

Find the remainder when 1234 x 1235 x 1237 is divided by 8.

A) 4 B) 2
C) 0 D) 6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 6

Explanation:

When we divide 1234 by 8, remainder is 2

When we divide 1235 by 8, remainder is 3

When we divide 1237 by 8, remainder is 5

---> 2 x 3 x 5 = 30 

As 30 will not be the remainder because it is greater than 8,

when 30 divided by 8, remainder = 6.

A) Rs. 1595.14 B) Rs. 1793.4
C) Rs. 595.14 D) Rs. 1551.5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 1595.14

No of ladies, gents and girls are 5, 3, 3
Thus effective ratio of ladies, gents and girls is 7 x 5 : 4 x 3 : 3 x 3 = 35 : 12 : 9
so part of gents = (12/56) x 7444 = Rs. 1595.142
so part of 1 gents = 1595.142/3 = Rs. 531.71.
