Show solution

Solution : False.

example-10Short answer

If a number is divisible by 2 and 4, then it will be divisible by 8.

Show solution

Solution : False.

example-11Short answer

A three-digit number 42x is divisible by 9. Find the value of x.

Show solution

Solution : Since 42x is divisible by 9, the sum of its digits, i.e. 4 + 2 + x must be divisible by 9. i.e. 6 + x is divisible by 9 i.e. 6 + x = 9 or 18, _____. Since x is a digit, therefore 6 + x = 9 or, x = 3.

example-12Short answer

Find the value of A and B if 41 A +B 4

Show solution

Solution : From ones column A + 4 gives a number whose ones digit is 2. So, A = 8. The value of B can be obtained by solving 2 + B is a number whose ones digit is 1. So, B = 9. 418 + 94

example-13Short answer

Suppose that the division x ÷ 5 leaves a remainder 4 and the division x ÷ 2 leaves a remainder 1. Find the ones digit of x.

Show solution

Solution : Since x ÷ 5 leaves a remainder 4, so ones digit of x can be 4 or 9. Also, since x ÷ 2 leaves a remainder 1, so ones digit must be 9 only.

example-14Long answer

If 756x x is divisible by 11, where x is a digit find the value of x . Understand and Explore the problem • What is given in the question? A four digit number 756x is divisible by 11. • Which property is required to solve the problem? Divisibility of a number by 11. Plan a Strategy • Find the sum of the digits of given number 756x at odd places. • Find the sum of the digits of 756x at even places. • Find the difference of step 1 and step 2. Solve • Given y = 2x • Sum of digits at odd places = x + 5 • Sum of digits at even places = 6 + 7 = 13 • Difference = (x + 5) – 13 =x–8 Now (x – 8) should be equal to 0 or a multiple of 11 (i.e. 11, 22, 33, ..., etc.) x–8=0 x = 8 or x – 8 = 11 x = 11 + 8 = 19 • Since x is a digit so it can take values from 0 – 9 Hence x = 8 Required number is 7568. Revise • 7568 Sum of digits at odd places = 5 + 8 = 13 Sum of digits at even places = 6 + 7 = 13 Difference = 13 – 13 = 0 So Value of x is correct.
