Mark $(\checkmark)$ against the correct answer in the following: Which of the following numbers is divisible by $6?$
  • $8790432$
  • B
    $98671402$
  • C
    $85492014$
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
Correct 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 $6.$

Mark the correct alternative in the following:
The greatest five digit number exactly divisible by $9$ and $13$ is:
  • A
    $99945$
  • $99918$
  • C
    $99964$
  • D
    $99972$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$99918$

$ LCM$ of $9$ and $13 = 9 × 13 = 117$
Largest 5-digit number is $99999$
Now, if we divide $99999$ by $117,$ we will get $854.69$ as quotient.
The integer just less than $854.69$ is $854$
$\therefore$ Required number $= 117 × 854 = 99918$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(b).$

$L.C.M. $ of two co-prime numbers is their
  • A
    sum
  • B
    difference
  • product
  • D
    quotient
Answer
Correct option: C.
product

 The two numbers which have only $1$ as their common factor are called co-primes.
For example, Factors of $5$ are $1, 5$
Factors of $3$ are $1, 3$
Common factors is $1.$
So they are co-prime numbers.
To find their $LCM,$ we
then choose each prime number with the greatest power and multiply them to get the $LCM.$
$\Rightarrow LCM = 3 \times 5 = 15$
Hence, $LCM$ of two co-prime numbers is their product.

Let, $x, y$ and $z$ are the natural numbers. Which of the following statements is true$?$
$I)$ If $x$ is divisible by $y$ and $y$ is divisible by $z,$ then $x$ must be divisible by $z.$
$II)$ 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
Answer
Correct 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.

If $x^2 - 4$ is a factor of $2x^3+ ax^2+ bx + 12$ where a and b are constant Then values of $a$ and $b$ are
  • A
    $-3, 8$
  • B
    $3, 8$
  • $-3, -8$
  • D
    $3, -8$
Answer
Correct 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.
  • $4$
  • B
    $7$
  • C
    $9$
  • D
    $13$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$4$
Here, 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 $4.$

  • $6, 12, 18$
  • D
    $10, 20, 30$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$6, 12, 18$

Three numbers are $1\times HCF, 2 \times HCF,$ and $3 \times HCF,$
i.e. $1 \times 6 = 6, 2 \times 6 = 12,$ and $3 \times 6 = 18.$
Thus, the numbers are $6, 12, 18.$

MCQ 2351 Mark
The number $2.525252$ can be written as a fraction, when reduced to the lowest term, the sum of the numerator and denominator is:
  • A
    $7$
  • B
    $29$
  • C
    $141$
  • $349$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$349$

Let the given number be $x=2.525252....$
multiplying with $100$ on both sides
$\Rightarrow 100x = 252.525252.$
$\Rightarrow 100x = 250 + 2.5252...$
$\Rightarrow 99x = 250$
$\Rightarrow \text{x}=\frac{250}{99}$
$\therefore$ Sum of numerator and denominator $=25099 = 349$

Mark $(\checkmark)$ against the correct answer in the following:
The $HCF$ of two numbers is $145$ and their $LCM$ is $2175.$ If one of the numbers is $725$, the other number is:
  • A
    $290$
  • B
    $435$
  • C
    $5$
  • None of these.
Answer
Correct option: D.
None of these.

One of the numbers is $725.$
$HCF = 145$
$LCM = 2175$
We know:
$LCM \times HCF =$ Product of the two numbers
$\therefore$ Product of the two numbers $= 145 \times 2175$
$= 315375$
$\therefore$ Other number $=\frac{315375}{725}$
$=435$

  • C
    $3333333$
  • D
    $4444444$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$22222222$

In $2,22,22,222,$ the difference of the sum of alternate digits $2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8$ and $2 + 2 + 2 +2 = 8$ is zero.
Hence, the number is divisible by $11.$

$L.C.M.$ of two co-prime numbers is their
  • A
    sum
  • B
    difference
  • product
  • D
    quotient
Answer
Correct option: C.
product

The two numbers which have only $1$ as their common factor are called co-primes.
For example, Factors of $5$ are $1,5$
Factors of $3$ are $1, 3$
Common factors is $1.$
So they are co-prime numbers.
To find their $LCM,$ we
then choose each prime number with the greatest power and multiply them to get the $LCM.$
$\Rightarrow LCM = 3 \times 5 = 15$
Hence, $LCM$ of two co-prime numbers is their product.
