Q. 12 Quantitative Aptitude Test
Difficulty: Medium (1 Mark)
Two numbers 4242 and 2903 when divided by a certain number of 3 digits leave the same remainder. The number and the remainder is
A
103, 19
✓ Correct
B
100, 20
C
150, 40
D
125, 35
💡 Step-by-Step Explanation & Concept Rationale
The Rule: If two numbers leave the same remainder when divided by a certain number, then the difference between those two numbers must be completely divisible by that divisor.
Find the difference:
\(4242-2903=1339\)
Find the 3-digit factor:
We need to find a 3-digit number that divides 1339 perfectly. Let's find its prime factors:
\(1339=13\times 103\)
Since 103 is the only 3-digit factor of 1339, it must be our divisor.

Find the remainder: Divide either original number by 103 to find the remaining value.
\(2903\div 103=28\text{ with a remainder of }\mathbf{19}\)

D

✓ Correct
💡 Step-by-Step Explanation & Concept Rationale
When \(n\) is a perfect square (like 1, 4, 9, 16, etc.):
The square root (\(\sqrt{n}\)) results in a whole number, which is a natural number.
Example: \(\sqrt{4} = 2\) (Natural number)
When \(n\) is not a perfect square (like 2, 3, 5, 7, etc.):
The square root (\(\sqrt{n}\)) results in a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal, which is an irrational number.
Example: \(\sqrt{2} = 1.41421...\) (Irrational number)
