Question 13 Marks
Find all possible values of $x$ for which the 4 -digit number $320 x$ is divisible by 3 . Also, find the numbers.
Answer
If a number is divisible by 3 , then the sum of the digits is also divisible by 3 .
$5+x^3+2+0+x=5+x$ must be divisible by 3 .
This is possible in the following cases:
$x=1$
$\therefore 5+x=6$
Thus, the number is 3201 .
$x=4$
$\therefore 5+x=9$
Thus, the number is 3204 .
$x=7$
$\therefore 5+x=12$
Thus, the number is 3207 .

Question 33 Marks
In a two-digit number, the digit at the units place is double the digit in the tens place. The number exceeds the sum of its digits by 18. Find the number.
Answer
Let the tens digit be x.
The units place digit = 2x.
$\therefore$ Number = 10x + 2x
$\therefore$ (x + 2x) + 18 = (10x + 2x)
⇒ 3x + 18 = 12x
⇒ 12x = 3x + 18
⇒ 12x - 3x + 18
⇒ 9x = 18
⇒ x = 2
Therefore, the number {(10 × 2) + (2 × 2)} = 24

Question 43 Marks
Replace A, B, C by suitable numerals.
$ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{AB}\\\underline{ \ \ \ \times \ 3}\\\underline{ \ \ \text{CAB}}$
Answer
(B × 3) = B
Then, B can either be 0 or 5.
If B is 5, then 1 will be carried.
Then A × 3 + 1 = A will not be possible for any number.
$\therefore$ B = 0
A × 3 = A is possible for either 0 or 5.
If we take A = 0, then all number will become 0. however this not a possible.
$\therefore$ A = 5
Then, 1 will be carried.
$\therefore$ C = 1
$\therefore$ A = 5, B = 0 and C = 1

Question 63 Marks
The units digit of a two-digit number is 3 and seven time the sum of the digits is the number itself. Find the number.
Answer
Let the digit be x. Then the units place digit = 3
$\therefore$ Number = (10x + 3)
$\therefore$ 7(x + 3) = (10x + 3)
⇒ 7x + 21 = 10x + 3
⇒ 10x + 3 = 7x + 21
⇒ 10x - 7x = 21 - 3
⇒ 3x = 18
⇒ x = 6
Therefore the number is {(10 × 6) + 3} = 63.

Question 73 Marks
Replace A, B, C by suitable numerals.
$ \ \ \ \text{C B 5}\\-\underline{2 \ 8\text{ A}}\\ \ \ \ \ \underline{2 \ 5 \ 9 \ }$
Answer
5 - A = 9
This implies That 1 borrowed.
We know,
15 - 6 = 9
⇒ A = 6
B - 5 = 8
But 1 has also been lent.
$\therefore$ B = 4
C - 2 = 2
This implies that 1 has been lent
$\therefore$ C = 5
$\therefore$ A = 6, B = 4 and C = 5.

Question 83 Marks
Complete the magic square given below, so that the sum of the numbers in each row or in each column or along each diagonal is 15.
6 1  
  5  
     
Answer
6 + 5 + x = 15
⇒ x = 4
Now taking the first over:
6 + 1 + x = 15
⇒ x = 15 - 7 = 8
Taking last colunm:
8 + x + 4 = 15
⇒ x = 15 - 12 = 3
Taking second colunm:
1 + 5 + x = 15
⇒ x = 15 - 6 = 9
Taking second Row:
x + 5 + 3 = 15
⇒ x = 15 - 8 = 7
Taking diagonal that begins with 8:
8 + 5 + x = 15
⇒ x = 2
6 1 8
7 5 3

Question 93 Marks
In a 3-digit number, the tens digit is thrice the units digit and the hundreds digit is four times the units digit. Also, the sum of its digits is 16. Find the number.
Answer
Let the unit place digit be x. Then, the tens place digit = 3x and the hundred place digit = 4x.
$\therefore$ 4x + 3x + x = 16
⇒ 8x = 16
⇒ x =2
Therefore, Units place digit = 2.
The Tens place digit = (3 × 2) = 6.
The Hundreds place digit = (4 × 2) = 8
Therefore, the number is 862.

Question 103 Marks
Replace A, B, C by suitable numerals:
$ \ \ \ 5 \ \ 7 \ \ \text{A}\\\underline{-\text{C} \ \text{B} \ \ 8}\\\underline{ \ \ \ 2 \ \ 9 \ \ \ 3 \ \ }$
Answer
A - 8 = 3
This implies that 1 is borrowed.
11 - 8 = 3
⇒ A = 1
Then, 7 - B = 9
1 is borrowed from 7.
$\therefore$ 16 - B = 9
⇒ B = 7
Further, 5 - C = 2
But 1 has been borrowed from 5.
$\therefore$ 4 - C = 2
⇒ C = 2
$\therefore$ A = 1, B = 7 and C = 2

Question 113 Marks
Replace A, B, C by suitable numerals.
$\ \ \ \ \ 6\text{ A}\\\underline{-\text{A B}}\\\underline{\ \ \ \ 3\ \ 7\ }$
Answer
$6 - \text{A} = 3$
This implies That the maximum value of A can be 3.
$\text{A}\leq3\dots(1)$
The next column has the following:
$\text{A}-\text{B}=7$
To reconcile this with equation (1), borrowing is involved
We know:
$12 - 5 = 7 $
$\therefore\text{A}=2$ and $\text{B}=5$

Question 123 Marks
Fibonacci numbers Take 10 numbers as shown below:
a, b, (a + b), (a + 2b), (2a + 3b), (3a + 5b), (5a + 8b), (8a + 13b), (13a + 21b), and (21a + 34b). Sum of all these numbers = 11(5a + 8b) = 11 × 7th number.
Taking a = 8, b = 13.,
Write 10 Fibonacci numbers and verify that sum of all these numbers = 11 × 7th number
Hint. I, II, (I + II), (III + II), (IV + III), [V + IV), and so on
Answer
a = 8 and b = 13
The numbers are 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377 and 610.
Sum of the numbers = 8 + 13 + 21 + 34 + 55 + 89 + 144 + 233 + 377 + 610 = 1584
11 × 7th number = 11 × 144 = 1584

Question 153 Marks
The difference between a 2-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging its digits is 63. What is the difference between the digits of the number?
Answer
Let the tens and unit digits of the number be a and b respectively.
Then,
$\therefore$ Number = (10a + b)
(10a + b) - (10b + a) = 63
⇒ 10a - b - 10b - a = 63
⇒ 9a - 9b = 63
⇒ 9(a - b) = 63
⇒ a - b = 7
Therefore, the diffrerent between the digits is 7.
