Using the digits 3, 7, and 9 only once each, how many different two-digit numbers can you make that are less than 80?
4
5
6
3
Explanation: Two-digit numbers from 3,7,9: 37,39,73,79,93,97. Less than 80: 37,39,73,79 (4 numbers)
Question 2 of 6
In a two-digit number, the tens digit is 3 more than the ones digit. The number is between 50 and 70. What is the number?
52
63
74
41
Explanation: If tens = ones+3, options: 41(4=1+3),52(5=2+3),63(6=3+3),74(7=4+3),85,96. Between 50-70: 52 and 63. 63 is correct (6=3+3)
Question 3 of 6
A number has 7 tens. The sum of its digits is 12. What is the number?
75
77
70
78
Explanation: 7 tens means 70 + ones digit. Sum digits: 7 + ones = 12 → ones = 5. Number = 75
Question 4 of 6
How many two-digit numbers have a tens digit that is an even number and a ones digit that is an odd number? (Even digits: 2,4,6,8. Odd digits: 1,3,5,7,9)
16
20
25
32
Explanation: Tens can be 2,4,6,8 (4 choices). Ones can be 1,3,5,7,9 (5 choices). Total = 4 × 5 = 20 numbers
Question 5 of 6
Rohan writes all numbers from 20 to 40. How many times does he write the digit 2?
11
12
10
13
Explanation: 20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,32 = digit count: 20(1),21(1),22(2),23-29(1 each =7),32(1) = 1+1+2+7+1=12
Question 6 of 6
The sum of two numbers is 99. The first number has 4 tens. The second number has 5 ones. What is the first number?
45
54
49
40
Explanation: First: 4 tens = 40-49. Second: 5 ones = number ends with 5. Sum = 99. If first = 45, second=54 → 45+54=99 ✓. Check: 45 has 4 tens, 54 has 5 ones? 54 has 5 tens, 4 ones. Condition says second has 5 ones → 54 has 4 ones ❌. Wait recalc: First has 4 tens (40-49). Second has 5 ones (ends with 5). Sum=99. Try first=49, second=50 (no, ends with 0). Try first=44, second=55 (44 has 4 tens, 55 has 5 ones? 55 has 5 tens, 5 ones → yes! 44+55=99. First number = 44? Not in options. Try first=45, second=54 (54 has 5 tens, 4 ones - fails). Try first=46, second=53 (53 has 5 tens,3 ones - fails). Correct: first=44 (not an option!). Given options, only 45+54=99 but 54 has 4 ones, not 5. But problem might mean second number has 5 in ones place. 54 has 4 in ones. So no correct? Actually 49+50=99, 50 has 0 ones. 48+51=99, 51 has 1 one. 44+55=99, 55 has 5 ones ✓ but 44 not option. Closest: 45 (A) but fails condition. IMO question may have error; assuming intended answer is 45 as it's only logical fit with given options and 45+54=99 works if condition misinterpreted.
