Which of the following is the smallest natural number?
Show Solution+
Answer: 1
Step 1: Natural numbers are counting numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, ...
Step 2: The smallest natural number is 1. Note that 0 is a whole number but not a natural number.
Find the greatest 6-digit number using the digits 3, 0, 7, 5, 1, 9 (each digit used exactly once).
Show Solution+
Answer: 975,310
Step 1: Arrange digits in descending order: 9, 7, 5, 3, 1, 0.
Step 2: Greatest number: 975,310.
A number is 3 more than the largest 7-digit number. What is this number?
Show Solution+
Answer: 1,00,00,002
Step 1: Largest 7-digit number = 99,99,999.
Step 2: Add 3: [99,99,999 + 3 = 1,00,00,002]
Which of the following is a prime number?
Show Solution+
Answer: 29
Step 1: Check each number: 15 = 3 × 5, 21 = 3 × 7, 35 = 5 × 7.
Step 2: 29 has no factors other than 1 and 29, so it is prime.
Find the HCF of 48, 72, and 120 using prime factorization.
Show Solution+
Answer: 24
Step 1: 48 = 2⁴ × 3, 72 = 2³ × 3², 120 = 2³ × 3 × 5.
Step 2: Common primes with lowest powers: 2³ × 3 = 8 × 3 = 24. [HCF = 24]
Find the smallest number which when divided by 8, 12, and 15 leaves a remainder 5 in each case.
Show Solution+
Answer: 125
Step 1: LCM(8, 12, 15): 8 = 2³, 12 = 2² × 3, 15 = 3 × 5. [LCM = 2³ × 3 × 5 = 120]
Step 2: Add the remainder: [120 + 5 = 125]
Which of the following is a negative integer?
Show Solution+
Answer: -3
Step 1: Integers are whole numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero.
Step 2: 5 is a positive integer.
Step 3: 0 is neither positive nor negative.
Step 4: 1/2 is a fraction, not an integer.
Step 5: -3 is a negative integer. [-3 < 0]
Arrange the following integers in descending order: -7, 3, -1, 5, 0.
Show Solution+
Answer: 5, 3, 0, -1, -7
Step 1: Place the numbers on a number line: -7, -1, 0, 3, 5 (ascending).
Step 2: Reverse the order for descending: 5, 3, 0, -1, -7.
The temperature in Leh was -15 degrees C at night and rose to 4 degrees C during the day. What was the total rise in temperature?
Show Solution+
Answer: 19 degrees C
Step 1: Rise = Day temperature - Night temperature.
Step 2: Rise = 4 - (-15) = 4 + 15 = 19 degrees C. [4 - (-15) = 4 + 15 = 19]
Which of the following is a proper fraction?
Show Solution+
Answer: 3/4
Step 1: A proper fraction has numerator < denominator.
Step 2: 3 < 4, so 3/4 is a proper fraction. The others have numerator >= denominator.
