2. If both 112 and 33 are factors of the number a * 43 * 62 * 1311, then what is the smallest possible value of ‘a’?

3. What is the remainder when 9^1 + 9^2 + 9^3 + …. + 9^8 is divided by 6?

2. A number when divided by a divisor leaves a remainder of 24. When twice the original number is divided by the same divisor, the remainder is 11. What is the value of the divisor?

4. ‘a’ and ‘b’ are the lengths of the base and height of a right angled triangle whose hypotenuse is ‘h’. If the values of ‘a’ and ‘b’ are positive integers, which of the following cannot be a value of the square of the hypotenuse?

5. Let n be the number of different 5 digit numbers, divisible by 4 with the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, no digit being repeated in the numbers. What is the value of n?

6. What is the reminder when 91 + 92 + 93 + …… + 99 is divided by 6?
