⇒ Z as 7

Since, 54Z = 547 divided by 5 leaves remainder 2

And 547 divided by 3 leaves remainder 1

Hence, Z is 7.

Question 8.

27Q leaves remainder 3 when divided by 5 and leaves remainder 1 when divided by 2, what is the remainder when it is divided by 3 ?

Answer:

Given, 27Q leaves a remainder 3 when divided by 5 and leaves remainder 1 when divided by 2

Need to find out the remainder when divided by3

Substitute Q value from trial error method from 0 to 9

⇒ Q = 3 when substituted in the given number

Question 7.

A 3-digit number 4A3 is added to another 3-digit number 984 to give four digit number 13B7, which is divisible by 11. Find (A + B).

Answer:

Given, a 3-digit number 4A3

And a 3-digit number 984

Both the numbers are added to get a four-digit number 13B7

And 13B7 is divisible by 11.

By observation we get A + 8 = B

⇒ B-A = 8

Since, 13B7 is divisible by 11 to know its divisibility we have to subtract sum of odd placed numbers and sum of even placed numbers

We get,

(7 + 3)-(B + 1) = 9-B = 0

⇒B = 9

Solving, B in B-A = 8 we get

⇒ 9-A = 8

⇒ A = 9-8

⇒ A = 1

Hence, A = 1, B = 9 and (A + B) = 10

⇒ 456 is divisible by 2 since, units place of a number’456’ is 6 which is divisible by 2.

⇒ Sum of the digits of 456 must be divisible by 3

⇒ 4 + 5 + 6 = 15 is divisible by 3.

∴ 456 is divisible by 6.

⇒ 618 is divisible by 2. Since, units place of a number ‘618’ is 8 which is divisible by 2.

⇒ Sum of the digits of 618 must be divisible by 3.

⇒ 6 + 1 + 8 = 15 is divisible by 3.

∴ 618 is divisible by 6.

Sum of 456, 618 = 456 + 618

= 1074 is divisible by 6 needs to be calculated

⇒ 1074 is divisible by 2 since, unit place of a number ‘1074’ is 4 which is divisible by 2.

⇒ Sum of the digits of 1074 must be divisible by 3.

⇒ 1 + 0 + 7 + 4 = 12 is divisible by 3.

∴ 1074 is divisible by 6

Hence, 456,618 and their sum is divisible by 6.

If A679B is a 5-dit number is divisible by 72 find ‘A’ and ‘B’?

Answer:

Given, A679B a number.

Need to find out it is divisible by 72.

⇒ Prime factors of 72 = 9 and 8

So, it is enough to check the given 5-digit number is divisible by 9 and 8.

⇒ To check the number is divisible by 8 last three digits must be divisible by 8.

⇒ 79B is divisible by 8 should be checked.

⇒ Now, from divisibility rule 100b + 10c + d

We get

⇒ 100(7) + 10(9) + B = 790 + B

Substitute a number in B which satisfy the equation using trail error method

⇒ B must be 2 to be divisible by 8

⇒ 792 is divisible by 8

∴ A679B = A6792 is divisible by 8

⇒ A6792 is divisible by 9 only if sum of the given digits is divisible by 9

⇒ A + 6 + 7 + 9 + 2 = A + 24

Put a value in A which satisfy the equation

A = 3

A + 24 = 27 is divisible by 9.

∴ A679B is divisible by 72 and the values of A = 3 and B = 2

Hence, 36792 is divisible by 72

Answer:

(a) Given, 73K ÷ 8 = 9L

Need to find out K, L

Here, remainder is not in a decimal form.

So, we need to substitute K with the values from 1,2,3…till we reach a number such that it is exactly divisible by 8.

∴ K = 6

Substituting the value, we get 736 ÷ 8 = 92

∴ L = 2

Hence, K = 6 and L = 6

(b) Given, 1MN ÷ 3 = MN

Need to find the values of M and N

Here, remainder is not in a decimal form and M, N exists in the resultant value after it is divided by 3

So, we need to substitute M, N with the values from 0,1,2,3…till we reach a number such that it is exactly divisible by 3.

We know that 7 × 9 = 63

So, ABB must be a number ending with 7

⇒ A77 × 999 = ABC123

Let us consider it A77 be 877 by trial and error method

∴ 877 × 999 = 876123

⇒ ABC123 = 876123

∴ A = 8, B = 7 and C = 6

Answer:

Given, Sum of integers from 11 to 50

we need to find out the numbers which are divisible by 2

⇒ Now, Sum of integers form 1 to N = 

⇒ Sum of integers divisible by 2 from 11 to 50 = Sum of integers divisible by 2 from 1 to 50 – Sum of integers divisible by 2 from 1 to 49

= (2 + 4 + 6………. + 50) – (2 + 4 + 6…. + 10)

= 2(1 + 2 + 3…… + 25)-2(1 + 2 + .. + 5)

= (25 × 26)-(5 × 6)

= 650 – 30

= 620

Hence, the sum of integers which are divisible by 2 from 11 to 50 is 620

⇒ Now, Sum of integers form 1 to N = 

= (6 + 12 + 18 + ….. + 48)

= 6(1 + 2 + 3 + …. + 8)

= 3(8 × 9)

= 216

Hence, the sum of integers from 1 to 50 which are divisible by 2 and 3 is 216.

Question 8.

Rahul’s father wants to deposit some amount of money every year on the day of Rahul’s birthday. On his 1^st birth day Rs.100, on his 2^nd birth day Rs.300, on his 3rd birth day Rs.600, on his 4th birthday Rs.1000 and so on. What is the amount deposited by his father on Rahul’s 15th birthday.

Answer: Money deposited by Rahul's father is as follows:

100, 300, 600, 1000

They are in following series

100 + 1 × 0, 100 + 2 × 100, 300 + 3 × 100, 600 + 4 × 100

Multiplication numbers 1, 2, 3 & 4 represent the age Rahul is turning. 

The multiplication factor is previous year deposit.

If we say, n is number of years, Rahul is turning and T₁ = 100. Then the series can be re written as (T₀ = 0)

T₁ + n × T₀ , 

T₂ = T₁ + n × 100, 

T3 = T₂ + n × 100 = T₁ + (n-1) × 100 + n × 100

T4 = T3 + n × 100 = T₁ + (n - 2) × 100 + (n - 1) × 100 + n × 100

....

T15 = T₁₄ + 15 × 100

= 1 × 100 + 2 × 100 + 3 × 100 + ........+ 15 × 100

All the terms after T₁ are in AP where, nth term is sum of n terms of the AP where

a = 100 and d = 100 n = 15

Hence T₁₅ = 

= n(2a + (n-1)d)/2

= 15(200 + 14 × 100)/2

= 15 × 800

= 12000

Question 9.

Find the sum of integers from 1 to 100 which are divisible by 2 or 5.

Answer:

Given, Sum of integers from 1 to 100

Need to find out the numbers which are divisible by 2 or 5.

⇒The numbers which are divisible by 2 are 2,4,6….100

And the numbers which are divisible by 5 are 5,10,15…..100

⇒ Sum numbers are repeated twice hence, we need to take the LCM of 2 and 5 which is 10

∴ sum of numbers which are divisible by 10 are 10,20……100

⇒ Now, Sum of integers form 1 to N = 

∴ Sum of integers divisible by 2 or 5 from 1 to 100 = Sum of integers from 1 to 100 divisible by 2 + Sum of integers from 1 to 100 divisible by 5 – Sum of integers from 1 to 100 divisible by 10

= (2 + 4….. + 100) + (5 + 10 + ….. + 100)-(10 + 20 + …… + 100)

= 2(1 + 2 + … + 50) + 5(1 + 2 + …. + 20)-10(1 + 2 + ….. + 10)

= (50 × 51) + (5 × 10 × 21)-(5 × 10 × 11)

= 2550 + 1050-550

= 3050

Hence, the sum of integers from 1 to 100 which are divisible by 2 or 5 is 3050

Question 10.

Find the sum of integers from 11 to 1000 which are divisible by 3.

Answer:

Given, Sum of integers from 11 to 1000

we need to find out the numbers which are divisible by 3

⇒ Now, Sum of integers form 1 to N = 

⇒ Sum of integers divisible by 3 from 11 to 1000 = Sum of integers divisible by 3 from 1 to 1000 – Sum of integers divisible by 3 from 1 to 10

= (3 + 6 + 9………. + 999) – (3 + 6 + …. + 9)

= 3(1 + 2 + 3…… + 333)-3(1 + 2 + .. + 3)

= 

= 

= 3(333(167)) – 3(6)

= 3(55611)-18

= 166833-18

= 166815

Hence, the sum of integers from 11 to 1000 which are divisible by 3 is 166815.
