1(D) This can never happen at 99! number of zeroes is 22 and at 100! the number of zeroes is 24.

2(A)

3(B)Explanation:
2520 = 7x3^2x2^3x5
The value of n would be given by the value of the number of 7s in 50!
This value is equal to (50/7) + 50/49)= 7+1 = 8

4(B)Explanation:
Let the smaller number be x. Then larger number = (x + 1365).
so  x + 1365 = 6x + 15
=>5x = 1350
=> x = 270
Smaller number = 270.

5(C)Explanation:
Sum of digits = (5 + 1 + 7 + x + 3 + 2 + 4) = (22 + x), which must be divisible by 3.
x = 2.

6(A)Explanation:
Let Sn =(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 45). This is an A.P. in which a =1, d =1, n = 45.
Sn = n/2 [2a + (n - 1)d] = 45/2 x [2 x 1 + (45 - 1) x 1]
=> (45/2 x 45)= (45 x 23)
= 45 x (20 + 3)
= 45 x 20 + 45 x 3
= 900 + 135
= 1035.
Shorcut Method:
Sn = n(n + 1)/2 = 45(45 + 1)/2 = 1035.

7(D)Explanation:
(Local value of 7) - (Face value of 7) = (70000 - 7) = 69993

8(B)Explanation:
29 as remainder is divided by 8 than remainder is 5

9(C)Explanation:
(x^n + 1) will be divisible by (x + 1) only when n is odd.
so (67^67 + 1) will be divisible by (67 + 1)
(67^67 + 1) + 66, when divided by 68 will give 66 as remainder.

10(D)Explanation:
Required numbers are 24, 30, 36, 42, ..., 96
This is an A.P. in which a = 24, d = 6 and l = 96
Let the number of terms in it be n.
Then tn = 96    a + (n - 1)d = 96
=>24 + (n - 1) x 6 = 96
=> (n - 1) x 6 = 72
=> (n - 1) = 12
=> n = 13
Required number of numbers = 13.
