Question : The smallest whole number that is to be multiplied by 59535 to make a perfect square is $x$. The sum of digits of $x$ is:
Option 1: 9
Option 2: 5
Option 3: 7
Option 4: 6
Correct Answer: 6
Solution : Factorization of the 59535 = 5 × 35 × 72 It needs to be multiplied by 5 × 3 = 15 to get a perfect square. $\therefore$ Sum of digits = 1 + 5 = 6 Hence, the correct answer is 6.
Question : In the given figure, $\mathrm{DE} \| \mathrm{BC}$. If $\mathrm{AD}=5 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{DB}=10 \mathrm{~cm}$, and $\mathrm{AE}=8 \mathrm{~cm}$, then $\mathrm{AC}$ is:
Option 1: 24 cm
Option 2: 32 cm
Option 3: 8 cm
Option 4: 16 cm
Correct Answer: 24 cm
