Solutions Number System

Q8 Solution: \(3^{27} \mod 4: \text{Cycle of } 3^n \mod 4 = 3, 1\). Since \(27\) is odd, remainder = \(3\).

Q9 Solution: Sum of first \(n\) odd numbers = \(n^2\). For \(n = 50\): \(50^2 = 2500\).

Q10 Solution: Let number = \(6k + 4\). Square = \( (6k + 4)^2 = 36k^2 + 48k + 16 \). Remainder = \(16 \mod 6 = 4\).

Q11 Solution: Numbers divisible by 15 (LCM of 3 and 5) = \( \lfloor \frac{1000}{15} \rfloor = 66\).

Missing Numbers

Q12 Solution: Series pattern: \(2^n - 1\). \[ 63 = 2^6 - 1 \implies 127 = 2^7 - 1. \]

Q13 Solution: Series difference: \(4, 6, 8, 10...\). Next difference = \(12\). Next term = \(20 + 12 = 32\).

Geometry

Q14 Solution: Area = \( \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \). \[ 60 = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times h \implies h = 12. \]
