2. Aptitude Tricks
1. BASIC NUMBER THEORY FOR PROBLEMS ON NUMBERS
Hi everyone, you may not get direct questions on this in any aptitude type test. But, by
knowing this number system basics you can be able to solve some silly questions on
numbers in some simple tests. So, get your basics brushed up with this.

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 - Digits

Group of digits - Numbers

Natural numbers : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11………………….

Whole numbers : 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12…………….

Integers : …………-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4………………….

Positive integers : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7………….

Negative integers : ………….-7,-6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1

Non positive integers : 0,-1,-2,-3,-4…….

Non negative integers : 0,1,2,3,4,5,6…………………

0 is neither positive nor negative.

www.puzzles9.com Page 32
 Puzzles9 2015

Even numbers : A number divisible by 2

2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20………………

Odd numbers : A number not divisible by 2.

1,3,5,7,9,11,1,3,15,17,19,21……………………

Prime numbers : A number having exactly 2 factors, namely 1 and the number
itself.

2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71,73,79,83,89,97………

2 is the only one prime even number.

25 prime numbers are there in between 1 and 100.

Composite numbers : Numbers greater than 1 which are not prime numbers.

4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15…………….

0,1 are neither prime nor composite.

Co primes : H.C.F. of two numbers should be 1.

(2,3),(4,5),(6,7),(11,15)

Twin primes : Difference between prime numbers in one set should be 2.

(3,5),(5,7),(11,13),(17,19),(31,33)

If a number N is divisible by two numbers a and b, where a, b are co primes, then N is

divisible by ab.

Ex : 72 is divisible by 2 and 3, where (2,3) are co primes. So, 72 is divisible by 6 i.e. (2×3)

Face value : The actual value of a digit in the given number

Place value : This value varies depends upon place of digit in a given number.

Ex : In 895473,

Face value of 3 is 3 , face value of 9 is 9.

Place value of 3 = 3*1 = 3

www.puzzles9.com Page 33
 Puzzles9 2015

Place value of 7 = 7*10 = 70

Place value of 4 = 4*100 = 400

Place value of 9 = 9 * 10000 = 90000

Division rule :

Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder

Ex : 14 = (3 × 4) + 2

14 = Dividend

3 = Divisor

4 = Quotient

2 = Reminder

2. How To Find Prime Numbers and How To Check if a

Number is Prime

How to find if a number is prime? We get questions on this topic in some

competitive exams. Deciding whether a number is prime number or not is not a simple task
if it is bigger number. So, some techniques are needed to tell if the number is prime. This is
what you are looking for? Then you are in right place. Because I have covered everything
you need to know about Prime numbers.

Prime Number Definition :

A Number which is divisible by 1 and the number itself is called as PRIME NUMBER.
Prime number must be a positive integer and it should be greater than 1.

Ex :

17 is divisible by 1 and 17 only, So, it is prime number.

15 is divisible by 1,3,5,15. So, it is not prime number.

Prime Factorization – Finding Prime Factors :

Factors of any number should be prime numbers in prime factorization.

Factors are numbers which are multiplied to get original number.
2 * 3 = 6 => 2, 3 are factors of 6. They are also prime factors of 6.
54 = 9 * 6 => 9,6 are factors of 54, but they are not prime factors.

Factor Tree :

Factor Tree can be used to get prime factors of a number.

www.puzzles9.com Page 35
 Puzzles9 2015

2 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 54 => this is how we do prime factorization.

2,3 are prime factors of 54.

Finding all prime numbers between 1 and 100 in a simple way :

25 prime numbers are there in between 1 and 100.

2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71,73,79,83,89,97…………

1. First arrange numbers in a table like shown in figure.

2. Enter 6 numbers in each row until the last number (in this it is 100) reaches.
3. Start with 2 which is greater than 1.
4. Round off number 2 and strike off entire column until the end.
5. Similarly strike off 4th column and 6th column as they are divisible by 2.
6. Now round off next number 3 and strike off entire column until end.
7. 4 is gone.
8. Now round off next number 5 and strike off numbers in inclined fashion as shown in
figure. When a striking off ends in some row, start again striking off with number in
another end which is divisible by 5 in a row parallel to previous strike off line as
shown in figure.
9. 6 is gone.
10. Now round off number 7 and strike off numbers as we did in case of number 5.
11. 8,9,10 are gone.
12. Stop at this point. Wonder why do we need to stop??
13. It’s a trick that we have to do this procedure until we reach square root of bigger
number.
14. This technique was developed in 3rd century B.C.

How To check if a Number is Prime :

Divide the given number with every number below it except 1 and the number itself.
Check whether the given number is divisible by any of the numbers below it. If it is not
divisible by any number then it is prime number. Actually you don’t need to divide with all
numbers. First check whether it is divisible by 2 or not. Next check with 3, 5, 7, 11,13…..
Check divisibility only with prime numbers.
Here also you don’t need to divide with all prime numbers below it.
Let p be the given number.
Find a number n greater than √
Find prime numbers below n and divide p with only those prime numbers below n.
Actually, we used the same procedure in the above figure of finding all prime numbers upto
100.

Ex : 1 - Number is 149

Let us find whether 149 is prime or not.

prime numbers below 13 are 2,3,5,7,11….

149 is not exactly divisible by 2, because it dont has even number at end.
149 is not exactly divisible by 3, because the sum of numbers 1+4+9= 14 is not divisible by 3.
149 is not exactly divisible by 5, because it dont has 0 or 5 at end.
149 is not exactly divisible by 7,11.
So, 149 is prime number…

 Puzzles9 2015

Ex: 2 - number is 631

Let us find whether 631 is prime or not.

prime numbers below 26 are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23….

631 is not exactly divisible by 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23…
So, 631 is prime number…

For easy divisibility checking, you should know the divisibility rules.

Some Facts on Prime Numbers:

Co Primes:

H.C.F. of two numbers in one set should be 1.

Ex: (2,3),(4,5),(6,7),(11,15)

If a number N is divisible by two numbers a and b, where a, b are co primes, then N is

divisible by ab.

Twin Primes:

Difference between prime numbers in one set should be 2.

Ex: (3,5),(5,7),(11,13),(17,19),(31,33)

If a Number M is a prime number and N is a next prime number, the average difference
between M and N is “ ln(M) ” *natural logarithm of M+

 2 is the only one prime even number.

 Numbers greater than 1 and which are not prime numbers are composite numbers.
 Some probabilistic methods are available for checking big prime numbers.

Prime Numbers upto 1000 :

3. GENERALIZED DIVISIBILITY RULES

How do you find whether a number is exactly divisible by another number? By

performing division calculation? No, you cannot do that for every number. That’s why we
need to follow divisibility rules. These are useful to solve problems quickly in Aptitude Tests.
These rules are mainly useful to check if a number is Prime. Suppose you want to find
45647845631214566461 is divisible by 3 or not. You cannot perform division calculation
because it takes a lot of time. This is where you need divisibility rules. This rules makes your
division easy. Here, divisibility rules for different numbers with examples under each
divisibility rule is explained and generalized rules for divisibility by any number is also
included at the end.

3. Generalized Divisibility Rules

What is Divisibility

“Divisible by” means when you divide one number with another number the result should be
whole number with zero remainder.

Ex :
6/3 = 2 ; 6 is divisible by 3, because result 2 is whole number and remainder is 0.
7/3 = 2.33 ; 7 is not divisible by 3, because result 2.33 is not whole number and remainder is
1.

Co Primes : H.C.F. of two numbers in one set should be 1.

Ex : (2,3),(4,5),(6,7),(11,15)

If a number N is divisible by two numbers a and b, where a, b are co primes, then N is

divisible by ab.

Ex :
24 is divisible by 2 and 3 where 2,3 are co primes, then 24 is divisible by 6.

www.puzzles9.com Page 40
 Puzzles9 2015

36 is divisible by 2, 4 where 2, 4 are not co primes, so, 36 is not divisible by 8.

If a number N is divisible by another number M, then N is also divisible by the factors of M.

Ex:
72 is divisible by 12, 72 is also divisible by 2, 3, 4, 6. because 2, 3, 4, 6 are factors of 12.

If a number N is divisible by prime factors of M, then N is also divisible by M.

Ex:
63 is divisible by 3 and 7, 63 is also divisible by 21, because 3 and 7 are prime factors of 21.

Divisibility Rules For Numbers Up To 20

Divisibility by 1
Every integer is divisible by 1, so no rules are needed.
Ex: 3 is divisible by 1, 4573842 is divisible by 1.

Divisibility by 2
The last digit must be even number i.e. 0, 2, 4, 6, 8.
Ex : 3456 is divisible by 2 –> last digit i.e. 6 is an even number.
343423 is not divisible by 2 –> last digit 3 is not an even number.

Divisibility by 3
The sum of digits in given number should be divisible by 3.

Ex: 42340 is divisible by 5 –> 0 is last digit.
675564 is not divisibility by 5 –> 4 is last digit.

Divisibility by 6
The number must be divisible by 2 and 3. Because 2 and 3 are prime factors of 6.

www.puzzles9.com Page 41
 Puzzles9 2015

Ex : 7563894 is divisible by 6 –> last digit is 4, so divisible by 2, and sum 7+5+6+3+8+9+4 = 42

is divisible by 3.
567423 is not divisible by 6 –> last digit is 3, so not divisible by 2. No need to check for 3.

Divisibility by 7
Twice the last digit and subtract it from remaining number in given number, result must be
divisible by 7. (You can again apply this to check for divisibility by 7.)
Ex :
1. 343 is divisible 7 –> 34 – (2*3) = 28, 28 is divisible by 7.
2. 345343 is given number. 3 is last digit. Subtract 2*3 from 34534.
34534 – (2*3) = 34528, we cannot tell that this result is divisible by 7. So, we do it again.
3452 – (2*8) = 3436, we will do it again.
343 – (2*6) = 331, we will do it again.
33 – (2*1) = 31, 31 is not divisible by 7.
So, 345343 is not divisible by 7.

Divisible by 8
The number formed by last three digits in given number must be divisible by 8.
Ex : 234568 is divisible by 8 –> 568 is divisible by 8.
4568742 is not divisible by 8 –> 742 is not divisible by 8.

Divisible by 9
Same as 3. Sum of digits in given number must be divisible by 9.
Ex : 456786 is divisible by 9 –> 4+5+6+7+8+6 = 36 is divisible by 9.
87956 is not divisible by 9 –> 8+7+9+5+6 = 35 is not divisible by 9.

Divisible by 10
Last digit must be 0.
Ex : 456780 is divisible by 10 –> last digit is 0.
78521 is not divisible by 10 –> last digit is 1.

Divisible by 11
Form the alternating sum of digits. The result must be divisible by 11.
Ex : 416042 is divisible by 11 –> 4-1+6-0+4-2 = 11, 11 is divisible by 11.
8219543574 is divisible by 11 –> 8-2+1-9+5-4+3-5+7-4 = 0 is divisible by 11.

Divisibility by 12
The number must be divisible by 3 and 4. Because are prime factors of 12.
Ex : 462157692 is divisible by 12 –> last 2 digits 92, so divisible by 4, and sum
4+6+2+1+5+7+6+9+2 = 42 is divisible by 3.
625859 is not divisible by 6 –> last 2 digits 59, is not divisible by 4. No need to check for 3.

www.puzzles9.com Page 42
 Puzzles9 2015

Divisibility by 13
Multiply last digit with 4 and add it to remaining number in given number, result must be
divisible by 13. (You can again apply this to check for divisibility by 13.)
Ex :
1. 4568 is not divisible by 13 –> 456 + (4*8) = 488 –> 48 + (4*8) = 80, 80 is not divisible by
13.
2. 593773622 is given number. 2 is last digit. add 4*2 to 59377362 -> 59377370
5937737+ (4*0) = 5937737, we cannot tell that this result is divisible by 13. So, we do it
again.
593773 + (4*7) = 593801, we will do it again.
59380 + (4*1) = 59384, we will do it again.
5938 + (4*4) = 5954, we will do it again.
595 + (4*4) = 611, we will do it again.
61 + (4 *1) = 65 , 65 is divisible by 13.
So, 593773622 is divisible by 13.

Divisibility by 14
The number must be divisible by 2 and 7. Because 2 and 7 are prime factors of 14.

Divisibility by 15
The number should be divisible by 3 and 5. Because 3 and 5 are prime factors of 15.

Divisible by 16
The number formed by last four digits in given number must be divisible by 16.
Ex : 7852176 is divisible by 16 –> 2176 is divisible by 16.

Divisibility by 17
Multiply last digit with 5 and subtract it from remaining number in given number, result
must be divisible by 17. (You can again apply this to check for divisibility by 17.)
Follow the similar examples given in divisibility by 7 and divisibility by 13.

Divisibility by 18
The number should be divisible by 2 and 9. Because are prime factors of 18.

Divisibility by 19
Multiply last digit with 2 and add it to remaining number in given number, result must be
divisible by 19. (You can again apply this to check for divisibility by 19.)
Follow the similar examples given in divisibility by 7 and divisibility by 13.

Divisibility by 20
The number formed by last two digits in given number must be divisible by 20.

www.puzzles9.com Page 43
 Puzzles9 2015

Ex : 2374680 is divisible by 20 –> 80 is divisible by 20.

456215789654824 is not divisibility by 20 –> 24 is not divisibility by 20.

Generalized Divisibility rules

To check divisibility by a number You should check divisibility by highest power of each of its
prime factors.

Remember that the divisibility by any two of the factors of a number is not sufficient to
judge its divisibility.

Ex :
1. Suppose you are checking for divisibility by 12. 2,3,4,6 are factors of 12. You cannot say
that the number is divisible by 12 by checking divisibility by only 2 and 4 or 4 and 6. You
should check divisibility by 3 and 4 to tell the divisibility by 12. Because 3 and 4 are prime
factors of 12.
2. Now, we are checking divisibility by 18. Prime factors of 18 are . So, you should
check divisibility by 2 and 9 . don’t check for just 2 and 3 and also don’t check for 3 and 6.
Basically prime numbers have factors 1 and the number itself. So, we can’t this rule apply
for prime numbers. This is only for composite numbers.

Divisibility by numbers which ends in 1,3,7,9

So, this rule counts for prime numbers which have been missed in previous rule.

To test divisibility by a number N which ends in 1,3,7,9 this method can be used.
Multiply N with any number to get 9 in the end. Add 1 to the result and divide it by 10.
Store the above result as R.
We are checking whether a number X is divisible by N or not.
Split X as X = 10 y + z ;
X is divisible by N, only if Rz + y is divisible by N.

Ex – 1 :
Find whether 645 is divisible by 23 or not.
N =23 ; 23 * 3 = 69 ; so now N has 9 in the end.
R = (69 + 1) / 10 = 7 ;
X = 645 ; split X as X = 10 y + z ;
645 = (10 * 64) + 5 ;
Y = 64 ; z = 5 ;
Rz + y = (7 * 5) + 64 = 35 + 64 = 99 ;
99 is not divisible by 23. So, 645 is also not divisible by 23.

Ex – 2 :
Let us find 585 is divisible by 39 or not.
N =39 ; so now N has 9 in the end.
R = (39 + 1) / 10 = 4 ;
X = 585 ; split X as X = 10 y + z ;
645 = (10 * 58) + 5 ;
Y = 58 ; z = 5 ;
Rz + y = (4 * 5) + 58 = 20 + 58 = 78 ;
78 is divisible by 39. So, 585 is also divisible by 39.

Suresh’s father = kalpana’s father

So, they are brother & sister.
Answer is sister.

NOTE :
Like in the above type of problems From either ends if it is like
Father = Father Uncle= Uncle
Mother = Mother Aunt = Aunt
Then they both may be brothers / sisters / bother & sister depending upon their sex.

2. Mixed Blood Relations

In this, mutual blood relations depending on more than two persons mentioned. These type of
problems can be solved with the help of diagrams.

Follow these symbols in the diagram to avoid confusion.

+ - Male candidate

- - Female candidate

ó - Couple

------- - Same generation i.e.brother –brother (or) sister-sister (or) sister

to brother

_______ - Different generations i.e. father-son (or) mother-son (or) father –

daughter (or) Mother - daughter

The following list of generation might be helpful to you.

First generation : Grand father, Grand mother

Second generation : Father, Mother, Uncle, Aunt.

Third generation : Self, Sister, Brother, Sister in law, Brother in law

Fourth generation : Son, Daughter, Nephew, Niece.

Better to use the same generation in one horizontal row in the diagrams.

EX – 5 :

A and B are brothers and C and D are sisters. A’s son is D’s brother. How is B related to C?

Solution:

By using above notations we can draw the below diagram. A,B are taken ‘+’ and C ,D

are taken as ‘-’. It seems that A,B belongs to one generation and C,D belongs to another generation.

www.puzzles9.com Page 49
 Puzzles9 2015

So, A,B are taken in one horizontal row and C,D are taken in other horizontal line.

It says that A is C’s father. Father’s brother is uncle. So, answer is uncle.

Sometimes they might ask paragraph questions in blood relations type problems.

EX – 6 :

Draw the diagram with given instructions below.

1. Q is son of R. draw this one with thick line in different horizontal rows. Both are male so take as’+’.

www.puzzles9.com Page 50
 Puzzles9 2015

2. Use <=> between P and R in same row, because they are couple.

3. Add Y to R with dotted line in same row.

4. Add X to P with thick line downwards to different row. Here, X is ‘–‘.

5. Add Z to P and take Z as ‘+’.

6. So, Q and X are brother & sister.

Answers :

1. Brother in law means wife’s brother i.e. Z

2. Two female members are there with ‘-‘ symbols i.e. P and X.

3. Q is brother of X.

4. Y is husband’s brother to P. i.e. brother in law.

NOTE : IN SOLVING MIXED BLOOD RELATIONS MAKE SURE THAT YOUR DIAGRAM IS IN CORRECT
REPRESENTATION.

CODED BLOOD RELATIONS :

In this type, relationships represented by codes and symbols like + , - , / , *. You have to
analyse the required relation based on the given code. In this also you may need diagrammatic
representation of problem to solve it. Use the same representation used in mixed blood relations.

In the coding equation better to solve the code from last letter.

Ex -7 :

If P+Q means P is husband of Q, P/Q means P is the sister of Q, P*Q means P is the son of
Q. how is D related to A in D*B+C/A?

Solution :

C/A – C is sister of Q.

B+C/A – B is brother in law of A (sister’s husband – brother in law.

D*B+C/A – D is nephew of A (sister’s husband’s son means sister’s son i.e. nephew).

So, answer is Nephew.

FINAL NOTE :

You should remember all the relations to solve blood relations type of problems. Without
knowing relations you can’t do anything. Out of all types, Single person blood relations are
important in the point of examination’s view.

Its time to Say Good Bye to awesome content.

Answer of Puzzle 54
Just go to any one door and ask, "what the other door would tell if you asked which door is safe?"
and go through another door. That's it. So, the question is important and the door to which you are
asking doesn't matters.

Note: The door which tells truth need not to be safe door....

If you ask true door:

Other door must lie and it would say death door as safe door. So true door will tell you exactly what
other door said... So you have to go another door which is opposite to the door Said by true door...

If you ask false door:

Other door will tell safe door as safe door...... So false door will tell you opposite to what is said by
true door... So you must go to another door which is opposite to the door said by false door.....

So result is you must go through another door.........

Don't take 'you' in the question as 'I'.

Thus, payments are equal to receipts.
