Aptitude Question: Some HOTs

 Quantitative Aptitude (1) What is the number of zero's at the end of the product of the numbers from 1 to 100? Sol: To find out the number of trailing zeros, we first need to acknowledge the times 10s can be produced in the factorial sequence: 1x2x3x4x5....x100 Since 10s are made when an even# meets 5  in the sequence, then: → (100/5) + {100/(5*5)} = 20 + 4 Or 24, will be the needed answer.

Are they: - Presenting claims? - Presenting statements?  (4) RC are usually laying the following  trap : - Makes the test taker make their own new understanding from the information given in the question and mix that with writer OP's arguments.  - That is, the questions are framed so that the test taker will create new arguments which were never there in the first place.  EG- RC states: (1) Y is pushing X to take a stance.
