Cross

4, 0

Cross

4, 5

Tick

1, 0

Cross

8, 0



Question 1-Explanation: 

Since the given number is divisible by 5, 0 or 5 must come in place of $. But a number ending with 5 is never divisible with 8 because a divisible number must be even. Therefore 0 will replace $. If the number is divisible by 8, the number formed by last three digits must be divisible by 8. The number *20 must be divisible by 8. Among all 4 options, only placing 1 in place of * makes it divisible by 8.

Question 2

Question 2-Explanation: 
Let us divide 4000 by 17.

17) 4000 (235
       34
       ….
         60
         51
        …..
           90
           85
          …..
             5

We get 5 as remainder.
Number to be added = 17-5 = 12

Question 4-Explanation: 
The required number must be divisible by L.C.M. of 5,6 and 7.
L.C.M. of 5, 6 and 7 = 5 x 6 x 7 = 210

Let us divide 9999 by 210.

210) 9999 (47
      840
     ----
      1599
      1470
      ----
       129

Required number = 9999 – 129 = 9870

40


Question 6-Explanation: 
 11\'th result = sum of 21 results – sum of 20 results
             = 21 x 20 – (24 x 10 + 14 x 10)
             = 420 – (240 + 140)
             = 420- 380 = 40
