Question 12 Marks

$HCF$ of co-prime numbers $4$ and $15$ was found as follows:
$4 = 2$ $\times$ $2$ and $15 = 3$ $\times$ $5$
since there is no common factor, so $H.C.F.$ of $4$ and $15$ is $0$. Is the answer correct? If not, what is the correct $H.C.F$.

Answer

No! the answer is not correct. The correct answer is as follows:
H.C.F of 4 and 15 is 1.

Question 122 Marks

The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is divisible by $4$. Verify this statement with the help of some examples.

Answer

$Ex.1 :$ Take two consecutive odd numbers $5$ and $7.$
Sum of these numbers $= 5 + 7 = 12$
$12$ is divisible by $4.$
$Ex.2 : 13$ and $15.$
Sum of $13$ and $15 = 13 + 15 = 28$
$28$ is divisible by $4$.So sum of two consective odd numbers is divisible by $4$

Question 132 Marks

Find all the prime factors of $1729$ and arrange them in ascending order. Now state the relation, if any; between two consecutive prime factors.

Answer

$7$	$1729$
$13$	$247$
$19$	$19$
	$1$

$\therefore$ $1729 = 7$ $\times$ $13$ $\times$ $19.$
All the prime factors of $1729$ are $7, 13$ and $19.$
When arranged in ascending order,
these are: $7, 13, 19.$
We observe that $13 - 7 = 6$
$19 - 13 = 6$
The difference of two consecutive prime factors is $6.$

Question 172 Marks

$18$ is divisible by both $2$ and $3$. It is also divisible by $2 \times 3 = 6$. Similarly, a number is divisible by both $4$ and $6$. Can we say that the number must also be divided by $4 \times 6 = 24$? If not, give an example to justify your answer.

Answer

No, we cannot say that the number will be divisible by $4 \times 6 = 24$, if it is divisible by both $4$ and 6 because $4$ and $6$ are not co-prime numbers (they have two common factors $1$ and $2$)
$Ex. 36$ is divisible by both $4$ and $6.$
But, $36$ is not divisible by $24.$

Question 332 Marks

Write digit in the blank space of number so that the number is divisible by $11 : 8__9484$

Answer

Sum of the given digits (at odd places) from the right $= 4 + 4 +$ required digit $= 8 +$ required digit.
Sum of the given digits (at even places) from the right $= 8 + 9 + 8 = 25$
Difference of the sums $=25 -$ ($8$ +required digit)$=17 -$ required digit
For the above difference to be divisible by $11$, required digit $= 6$ because $17 - 6 = 11$, which is divisible by $11$.
Hence, the required number is $869484.$

$\therefore$ $1258$ is divisible by $2.$
$ii.\ $Divisibility by $3.$
Sum of the digits $= 1 + 2 + 5 + 8 = 16,$
which is not divisible by $3.$
Since, $1258$ is divisible by $2$ but not by $3,$
so $1258$ is not divisible by $6.$

Question 422 Marks

Using divisibility tests, determine if number $297144$ is divisible by $6.$

Answer

We know that a number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by $2$ and $3$ both.
$i.\ $Divisibility by $2.$
$\because$ Unit's digit $= 4$
$\therefore$ $297144$ is divisible by $2.$
$ii.\ $Divisibility by $3.$
Sum of the digits $= 2 + 9 + 7 + 1 + 4 + 4 = 27,$
which is divisible by $3.$
$\therefore$ $297144$ is divisible by $3.$
Since, $297144$ is divisible by $2$ and $3$ both, so it is divisible by $6.$

Question 432 Marks

Using divisibility tests, determine if the number $1700$ is divisible by
$a.\ 5$
$b.\ 10$

Answer

$i.\ $Divisibility by $5$.
The last digit $= 0$
$\therefore$ $1700$ is divisible by $5$ because a no. is divisible by $5$ if it has $0$ or $5$ in its ones place.
$ii.\ $Divisibility by $10.$
The last digit $= 0$
$\therefore$$1700$ is divisible by $10$ because a no. is divisible by $10$ if it has $0$ in the ones place.

Question 442 Marks

Using divisibility tests, determine if the number $31795072$ is divisible by
$a.\ 4$
$b.\ 8$

Answer

$i.\ $Divisibility by $4.$
The number formed by last two digits $= 72$
$\text { (4) } 72(18)$
$\frac{4}{32}$
$\frac{32}{0}$
$\because$ Remainder is $0.$
$\therefore 72$ is divisible by $4.$
$\therefore 31795072$ is divisible by $4$ because a no. is divisible by $4$ if the no. formed by its last two digits is divisible by $4.$
$ii.\ $Divisibility by $8.$
The number formed by last three digits $= 072 = 72$
$(8) 72(9)$
$\frac{72}{0}$
$\because$ Remainder is $0.$
$\therefore 72$ is divisible by $8$.
$\therefore 31795072$ is divisible by $8$ because a no. is divisible by $8$ if no. formed by its last three digits is divisible by $8.$

Question 452 Marks

Using divisibility tests, determine if the number $21084$ is divisible by
$a.\ 4$
$b.\ 8$

Answer

$i.$ Divisibility by $4$
The number formed by last two digits $= 84$

$4)84(21$
$\underline {8}$
$4$
$\underline{4}$
$0$
$84$ is divisible by $4$
So $21084$ is also divisible by $4$ because a no. is divisible by $4$ if the no. formed by its last two digits $($ i.e ones and tens $)$ is divisible by $4.$
$ii.$ Divisibility by $8$
The number formed by last three digits $= 084 = 84 (8)84(10)$
$\underline {8}$
$4$
$\underline{0}$
$4$
$\because$ Remainder is not $0.$
$\therefore$ $84$ is not divisible by $8.$
$\therefore$ $21084$ is not divisible by $8$ because a no. is divisible by $8$ only if the no. formed by its last three digits is divisible by $8.$

Question 462 Marks

Using divisibility tests, determine if the no.$14560$ is divisible by
$a.\ 4$
$b.\ 8$

Answer

$i.$ Divisibility by $4.$
The number formed by last two digits $= 60.$
$4)60(15$
$\underline {4}$
$20$
$\underline{20}$
$0$
$\because$ Remainder is $0.$
$\therefore$ $60$ is divisible by $4.$
$\therefore$ $14560$ is divisible by $4$ because a no. is divisible by $4$ only if the no. formed by its last two digits $($ i.e ones and tens $)$ is divisible by $4.$
$ii.$ Divisibility by $8.$
The number formed by last three digits $= 560$
$8)560(70$
$\underline {56}$
$0$
$\underline{0}$
$0$
$\because$ Remainder is $0.$
$\therefore$ $560$ is divisible by $8.$
$\therefore$ $14560$ is divisible by $8$ because a no. is divisible by $8$ if the no.
formed by its last three digits is divisible by $8.$

Question 472 Marks

Using divisibility tests, determine if the number $12159$ is divisible by
$a.\ 4$
$b.\ 8$

Answer

$i.$ Divisibility by $4$
The number formed by last two digit $= 59$
$(4)59(14)$
$\underline {4}$
$19$
$\underline{16}$
$3$
$\because$ Remainder is not $0$
$\therefore$ $59$ is not divisible by $4.$
$\therefore$ $12159$ is not divisible by $4$ because a no. is divisible by $4$ only if its last two digits are divisible by $4.$
$i.$ Divisible by $8$
The number formed by last three digits $= 159$.
$(8)159(19)$
$\underline {8}$
$79$
$\underline{72}$
$7$
$\because$ Remainder is not $0$
$\therefore$ $159$ is not divisible by $8.$
$\therefore$ $12159$ is not divisible by $8$ because a no. is divisible by $8$ only if its last three digits are divisible by $8$.

$b.\ 8$

Answer

$i.$ Divisibility by $4.$
The number formed by last two digits $= 00,$ which is divisible by $4.$
$\therefore \ 5500$ is divisible by $4$ because a no. is divisible by $4$ if, no. formed by its last two digits $($ i.e ones and tens$)$ is divisible by $4.$
$ii$ Divisible by $8.$
The number formed by last three digits $= 500.$
$(8)500(62)$
$\underline {48}$
$20$
$\underline{16}$
$4$
$\because$ Remainder is not $0$

Question 502 Marks

Using divisibility tests, determine if the number $726352$ is divisible by
$a.\ 4$
$b.\ 8$

Answer

$a.$ Divisibility by $4$
The number formed by last two digits $= 52$
$4)52(13$
