90. Answer (3)

Consider this

12 + 22 = 5; 22 + 32 = 13; 32 + 42 = 25;

42 + 52 = 41; 52 + 62 = 61; 62 + 72 = 85;

72 + 82 = 113

So, the only two digit numbers that can be

expressed as the sum of the squares of two

consecutive natural numbers are 13, 25, 41, 61 and

85 i.e., 5 numbers. The remaining 2 digit numbers

(90 – 5 = 85) are the numbers that cannot be

expressed as the sum of the squares of two

consecutive natural numbers.

25 = Median of 19 observations = 10th observation

So, 30 > 25

Hence, the number of observations more than 30 can

be at the most 9.

94. Answer (2)

Case-I : If the 3 consecutive natural numbers are

2k – 1, 2k and 2k + 1, then

N = (2k – 1)2 + (2k)2 + (2k + 1)2

= 12k2 + 2

Case-II : If the 3 consecutive natural numbers are 2k,

2k + 1 and 2k + 2, then

N = (2k)2 + (2k + 1)2 + (2k + 2)2

= 12k2 + 12k + 5

So, if N is divided by 12, then the remainder can be

2 or 5.

95. Answer (3)

96. Answer (2)

Let son’s present age be x years.

5 years ago, father's age = 10(x – 5) years

15 years from now, father's age = 2(x + 15) years

Also, 2(x + 15) – 10(x – 5) = 20

x + 15 – 5x + 25 = 10

x = 71

2

So, father's present age = 10(x – 5) + 5

= 30 years

111. Answer (4)

Let the digit in the units place be x

Then, the digit in the ten's plane = 11 – x

n = 10(11 – x) + x = 110 – 9x …(i)

and N = 10x + (11 – x) = 11 + 9x …(ii)

n + N = 121

112. Answer (2)

1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 × ...× n = (n – 2) × 180º

As 180 is a multiple of 9, so n 6.

Also, 180 is not a multiple of 7

n < 7

Hence, n = 6 is the only possibility

For n = 6,

LHS = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 = 720

and RHS = (6 – 2) × 180° = 720°

So, n = 6.

Note : The possibility n – 2 = 7 or n = 9 makes

LHS a multiple of 81 whereas (n – 2) × 180 is not

a multiple of 81.
