Question 81 Mark
Mark the correct alternative in the following:
What smallest digit be written in the blank space of the number ......6724 so that the number formed is divisible by 3?
  1. 3
  2. 4
  3. 2
  4. 1
Answer
  1. 2
Solution:

A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

The sum of digits in 6724 is 6 + 7+ 2 + 4 = 19

For divisible by 3 we have to add 2 in 19 i.e., 2 + 19 = 21, which is divisible by 3.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).

A perfect number is a positive number that equals the sum of its divisors, excluding itself.
Divisors of 6 = 1, 2, 3
Divisors of 28 = 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28
In 6, the sum of divisors except itself, 1 + 2 + 3 is 6.
In 28, the sum of divisors except itself, 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 is 28.
Therefore, two perfect numbers are 6 and 28.
