Number System Question and Solution for Bank Exam like IBPS and SBI PO
Real numbers : Real number contains all the rational numbers and all the irrational numbers.
Fraction A fraction is a rational number written in the form of a/b, where a and b are integers and b ≠ 0.
Proper fraction if the denominator of a fraction is greater than the numerator then the fraction is called a proper fraction
Example : ¼, ⅔, ⅓
Improper fraction if the numerator of a fraction is greater than the denominator then the fraction is called a improper fraction
Example 3/2, 17/5, 9/2
Divisor, Dividend, Quotient and Remainder
Suppose we have to divide 17 by 3
Then 3 is the divisor, 17 is the dividend
5 is the quotient and 2 is the remainder
There is a important formula about divisor, dividend, quotient and remainder
Dividend = divisor quotient+ remainder
Modulus value or absolute value : The modulus value of a number is equal to that number with positive sign or (positive value of that number). The symbol of modulus is x.
Example : Ι5Ι = 5, Ι-5.4 Ι = 5.4,Ι Ι-6 Ι= 6
Some important tricks
- If a/b < c/d, then a + c/b + d lies between a/b and c/d
- If a and b are two rational numbers such that a < b, then a + b/2 lies between a and b
- The sum of first n natural numbers i.e. 1 +2 + 3 +………+ n = n (n+1)/2
Example : 1 + 2 + 3 + ………+ 12 = 12 × 13/2 = 78
- The sum of squares of first n natural numbers i.e.12+22+….+n2 = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6
Example : 12 + 22 +….+ 152 = 15 × 16 × 31/6= 1240
- The sum of cubes of first n natural numbers i.e. 13 + 23 +…….+n3 = n2 (n+1)2/4
Example : 13 + 23 +…….+123 = 122 × 133/4= 6084
- The sum of first n odd natural numbers = n^2
Example : 1 + 3 + 5 + ………+ 19 = 102 = 100
- The sum of first n even natural numbers = n2 + n
Example : 2 + 4 + 6 + …….. + 40 = 202 + 20 = 400 + 20 = 420
- The sum of squares of even natural numbers upto n2= n(n+1)(n+2)/6
Example : 22 + 42 +……….+ 102 = 10 × 11 × 12/6 = 220
- The sum of squares of odd natural numbers up to n^2= n(n+1)(n+2)/6
Example : 12 + 32 +………… + 92 = 9 × 10 × 11/6 = 165
1 The unit digit of 7254 is
- 7
- 9
- 3
- 1
Answer b) 9
Solution The unit digit of 71= 7
The unit digit of 72 = 9
The unit digit of 73 = 3
The unit digit of 74= 1
The next 4 consecutive power of 7 gives the unit digit 7, 9, 3 and 1 respectively
When we divide 254 by 4, the remainder is 2
And the unit digit of 72= 9
So, the unit digit of 7^254 is 9
2 The decimal expression 2.23 is equal to
- 22/9
- 223/99
- 221/99
- 222/99
Answer c) 221/99
Solution Let x = 2.23
Then, x = 2.232323………… (1)
Multiply by 100 in equation (1)
100x = 223.232323…….. (2)
Subtract (1) from (2)
99x = 221
x = 221/99

3 Find the remainder when 230 + 330 + 430 + 530 divided by 7
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
Answer d) 4
Solution when 21 divided by 7, the remainder is 2
When 22 divided by 7, the remainder is 4
When 23 divided by 7, the remainder is 1
230 = (23)10
When 230 divided by 7 the remainder is same as the remainder when 1^10 divided by 7
230/7, remainder = 1
Similarly 330/7, remainder = 1
430/7, remainder = 1
530/7, remainder = 1
230 + 330 + 4 30 +530/7, remainder is same as the remainder when 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 divided by 7
Remainder = 4
4 When a number is divided by 682, the remainder is 420. What is the remainder when the same number is divided by 31 ?
- 0
- 12
- 17
- 30
Answer c) 17
Solution since 31 is a factor of 682 i.e. 682 is completely divided by 31.
So, the remainder comes when 420 is divided by 31
Remainder = 17, when 420 divided by 31

5 A rational number lies between 2/7and 3/5 is
- 9/26
- 3/11
- 6/23
- 12/47
Answer a) 9/26
Solution 2 + 3/7 + 5 = 5/12 lies between 2/7 and 3/5
5 + 2/7 + 12 = 7/19 lies between 2/7 and 5/12
7 + 2/19 + 7 = 9/26 lies between 2/7 and 7/19
9/26 lies between 2/7 and 3/5
Number System Question asked in IBPS exam
6 The numbers 2272 and 875 are divided by a 3_ digit number N, giving the same remainders. The sum of the digits of N is
- 10
- 11
- 12
- 13 ssc cgl prelim exam, 04/02/2007
Answer a) 10
Solution Let the remainder be x
Then, 2272 – x and 875 – x are completely divide by the N
Then their difference i.e. (2272 – x) – (875 – x) = 1397 is completely divide by the N
1397 = 11×127
Where 11 is prime, which has no other factor than 1 and 11 itself
N= 127
1 + 2 + 7 = 10
7. The total number of integers between 100 and 200, which are divisible by both 9 and 6, is
- 5
- 6
- 7
- 8 ssc cgl prelim exam, 08/02/2004
Answer b) 6
Solution If a number is divisible by 9 and 6, then it is divisible by the lcm of 9 and 6 i.e. by 18
108, 126, 144, 162, 180, and 198 are the six numbers between 100 and 200 which are divisible by 18
8 which of the following is not an irrational number ?
- √214
- π√4
- e/√6
- √8/√2
Answer d) √8/√2
Solution √8/√2 = √4×2/√2
= √4×√2/√2
= √4
= 2
2 is a rational number, hence it is not an irrational number
