Q. What is the unit digit of 63104?


A. 4  B. 9  C. 7  D. 1


Trick


Calculate the first few powers: 31 = 3 last digit 3, = 9 last digit 9, = 27last digit 7 , = 81 last digit 1


Then the same pattern repeats: 3 → 9 → 7 → 1 → 3 → 9 → 7 → 1...


So, there are 4 numbers in one cycle.


For 3104:


There is no remainder, so we take the 4th number in the cycle:


Ans: D. 1

Q. What is the unit digit of  43321 ?


A. 3  B. 9  C. 7  D. 1


Short Trick : Calculate the first few powers: 31 = 3 last digit 3, = 9 last digit 9, = 27last digit 7 , = 81 last digit 1


Only the last digit 3 matters: 3321


Pattern: 3 → 9 → 7 → 1


Now,



Remainder = 1


So, take the 1st number in the pattern:


Ans: A. 3

Q. What is the unit digit of 393 ?


A. 3  B. 9  C. 7  D. 1


Trick


Unit digit pattern of powers of 3: 3 → 9 → 7 → 1


Now:


Remainder 1 → take the 1st number = 3


Ans: A. 3


==========================================






Q. What is the unit digit of  2362?


A. 3  B. 9  C. 7  D. 1


Trick


Only the last digit 3 matters: 2362 362


Pattern: 3 → 9 → 7 → 1


Now divide the power by 4:


Remainder 2 → 2nd number = 9


Ans: B. 9

Q. Find: √16%


A) 4%  B) 16%  C) 40%   D) 64%


Solution:


Convert the percentage into a fraction: 16% = 16/100


Therefore,


√16/100 = √16/√100 = 4/10 = 0.4


As a percentage:


Ans: C) 40%


Practice Set: Square Root of Percentage


Q1. Find: √25%


A) 5%  B) 25%  C) 50%  D) 75%


Q2. Find: √36%


A) 6%  B) 30%  C) 60%  D) 36%


Q3. Find: 49%


A) 7%  B) 49%  C) 70%  D) 14%


Q4. Find: 64%


A) 8%  B) 32%  C) 64%  D) 80%


Q5. Find: √81%


A) 9%  B) 18%  C) 81%  D) 90%


Trick


√x% = √x/10

Q. Find the average of the first 10 composite numbers.


First 10 composite numbers are: 4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18


1st: Find the sum



2nd: Find the average



Ans: (A) 11.2


=============================


Q. What is the average of the first 15 whole numbers ?


The first 15 whole numbers are: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 


Trick


For consecutive numbers: Average = First number + Last number / 2 = 0 + 14/2 = 7


Ans: (C) 7


========================================


Q.If the average of three consecutive numbers is 42, then find the second smallest number.


A) 41  B) 44  C) 42   D) 43


Trick


For three consecutive numbers, the average is always the middle number.


So: Middle number = 42


The three numbers are: 41, 42, 43


Therefore, the second smallest number = 42.


Ans: (C) 42


Trick: 3 consecutive numbers → Average = 2nd number
