- C
$85492014$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: A. $8790432$
A number is divisible by $6,$ if it is divisible by both $2$ and $3.$
$a.\ 8790432$
Consider the number $8790432.$
The number in the ones digit is $2.$
Therefore, $8790432$ is divisible by $2.$
Now, the sum of its digits $(8 + 7 + 9 + 0 + 2 + 3 + 2)$ is $33.$
Since $33$ is divisible by $3$, we can say that $8790432$ is also divisible by $3.$
Since $8790432$ is divisible by both $2$ and $3$, it is also divisible by $6.$
$b.\ 98671402$
Consider the number $98671402.$
The number in the ones digit is $2.$
Therefore, $98671402$ is divisible by $2.$
Now, the sum of its digits $(9 + 8 + 6 + 7 + 1 + 4 + 0 + 2)$ is $37.$
Since $37$ is not divisible by $3,$ we can say that $98671402$ is also not divisible by $3.$
Since $98671402$ is not divisible by both $2$ and $3,$ it is not divisible by $6.$
$c.\ 85492014$
Consider the number $85492014.$
The number in the ones digit is $4.$
Therefore, $85492014$ is divisible by $2.$
Now, the sum of its digits $(8 + 5 + 4 + 9 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 4)$ is $33.$
Since $33$ is divisible by $3,$ we can say that $85492014$ is also divisible by $3.$
Since $85492014$ is divisible by both $2$ and $3,$ it is also divisible by $6.$

$II)$ If $x$ is a factor of $y$ and $z,$ then $x$ must be a factor of $y + z.$
$III)$ If $x$ is a factor of $y$ and $z,$ then $x$ must be a factor of $\frac{\text{y}}{\text{z}}.$
- A
$I, II$ and $III$
- B
$I$ only
- ✓
$I$ and $II$
- D
$II $ only
AnswerCorrect option: C. $I$ and $II$
$I.$ If $x$ is divisible by $y$ and $y$ is divisible by $z$ then $x$ must be divisible by $z$
Let $x $be $12, y $ be $4$ and $z$ be $2.$
So, here we can see that $12$ is divisible by $2.$ Hence true.
$II.$ If $x$ is a factor of $y$ and $z$ then $x$ must be a factor of $y + z$
Let $x$ be $3, y$ be $6$ and $z$ be $15.$
So, here we can see that $21$ is divisible by $3.$ Hence true.
$III$ If $x$ is a factor of $y$ and $z$ then $x$ must be a factor of$\frac{\text{y}}{\text{z}}$
Let$ x$ be $2, y$ be $4$ and $z$ be $6.$
So, here we can see that $\frac{4}{6}$ is not divisible by $2.$ Hence untrue.
Therefore, option $C$ is correct.

- A
$-3, 8$
- B
$3, 8$
- ✓
$-3, -8$
- D
$3, -8$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $-3, -8$
$x^2 - 4$ is a factor of $2x^3+ ax^2+ bx + 12$
$x^2 - 4 = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = 2$ and $x = -2$
$2x^3 + ax^2 + bx + 12 = 0$ at $x = 2$ and $x = -2$
By putting $x = 2$ in given polynomial. we get
$\Rightarrow 2(2)^3 + a(2)^2+ b(2) + 12 = 0$
$\Rightarrow 16 + 4a + 2b + 12 = 0$
$\Rightarrow 4a + 2b = -28 .........(1)$
By putting $x = -2$ in given polynomial. we get
$\Rightarrow 2(-2)3 + a(-2)2 + b(-2) + 12 = 0$
$\Rightarrow -16 + 4a - 2b + 12 = 0$
$\Rightarrow 4a - 2b = 4 .........(2)$
By adding $(1)$ and $(2)$ we get
$8a = -24$
$\Rightarrow a = -3$
Now, put a in $(1)$ we get
$4(-3) + 2b = -28$
$\Rightarrow 2b = -16$
$\Rightarrow b = -8$

Find the greatest number that will divide $43, 91$ and $183$ so as to leave the same remainder in each case.
AnswerHere, we need to find differences between the given numbers.
If two numbers give the same remainder when divided by some other number, then their difference must give a remainder of zero when divided by that number.
Our numbers here are $91 - 43 = 48, 183 - 91 = 92, 183 - 43 = 140$
So we have the set of numbers $\{48, 92, 140\}$ and we want to know the biggest number that divides all these numbers.
So, $48 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3$
$92 = 2 \times 2 \times 23$
$140 = 2 \times 2 \times 5 \times 7$
The greatest common divisor of $\{48, 92, 140\}$ is $4.$
