Test 6,915 for divisibility by 11
Test each number in turn:
Add and subtract digits in an alternating
pattern (add first, subtract second, add
987 ⇒ 9 + 8 + 7 = 24 ⇒ 2 + 4 = 6
third, etc):

5.Concept used: 8.Since HCF always divides LCM,
For a number to be divided by 11 the
difference of the sum of digits in odd we see that 540 is divisible by 18,
and even places must be the multiple of 540/18 = 30. Thus, it is possible to
either 11/0. have two numbers.
Calculation:
Let be the number is 07X6 9.Let us find LCM(35, 56, 91) + 7
(0 +X) - (7+6)
⇒ X = 13
:. X = 13-11=2 35 = 5 × 7

6.OPTION: D 56 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 7
643x1145y2 is divisible by 88
Concept used: 91 = 7 × 13
Divisibility rule of 11 the subtraction of
alternate digits of the number should add Thus, LCM(35, 56, 91) = 23 × 5 ×
up to zero or be divisible by 11 7 × 13 = 3640
Divisibility rule of 8 Last three-digit of
the number should be divisible by 8
Calculation: The required number = LCM(35, 56,
643x1145y2 is divisible by 88, this 91) + 7 = 3640 + 7 = 3647.
means the number is divisible by 11 and
8 both 10.Let x be a number when
For Divisibility by 8. reduced by 7, is divisible by 12,
Sy2 should be divisible by 8
Here maximum possible value of y = 9 16, 18, 21 and 28.
because y is a single digit and the largest
single digit is 9. Then, x – 7 = m × 12 ⇒ x = m ×
=5y2 = 592, which is divisible by 8 12 + 7.
y=9
For divisibility by 11. Thus, when x is divided by 12, it
(6+3+1+4+y)-(4+x+1+5+2)=11 or 0
(14 y)-(12)-11 or 0 leaves a remainder of 7, which is
⇒2+y-x-11 or 0 the same for each given number.
By putting the value of y
2+9-x=11 ∴ x = LCM (12, 16, 18, 21, 28) +
X=0 7 = 1008 + 7 = 1015.
2x-3y=0-3x9= -27
The value of (2x-3y) for the largest
value of y is -27. 11. Largest 4-digit number =
9999
7. We have LCM of two numbers =
LCM (4, 7, 13) = 364
(Product of two numbers)/ their HCF
Now 9999 = 27 × 364 + 171
= (252 × 594)/18 = 8316.
Thus, the 4-digit number divisible
Hence, LCM(252, 594) = 8316
by 4, 7 and 13 = 9999 – 171 =
9828.
 Since the number we have to We can write this as: a + 3 = (1/7) × (10a
+ 3) ⇒ 7a + 21 = 10a + 3 ⇒ 3a = 18 ⇒ a
find leaves a remainder of three
= 6 Therefore, the number is 63.
when divided by 4, 7 and 13, So, the answer is 63.

∴ 9828 + 3 = 9831 is the 18.Option (d)

21.The correct option is A
17.Option (a)
Let's denote the digit in the tens place 213444
as 'a'. Since the digit in the unit's place =
3, the number can be expressed as 10a
L. C.M. of 21, 36, 66 = 2772.

22.OPTION:C 25. Given: 73 × 117 × 38 × 97 × 52
Calculation: 73 × 117 × 38 × 97 × 52
Money collected = (59.29 x 100) Taking unit digits ⇒ 3 × 7 × 8 × 7 × 2 ⇒
paise = 5929 paise. 21 × 56 × 2 Again taking unit digits ⇒ 1
× 6 × 2 ⇒ 12 ∴ The unit digit of 73 ×
Number of members = 5929 = 77 117 × 38 × 97 × 52 is 2.

26.Calculation: Unit digit = (3)1003 ⇒

23. Unit digit = 31000 × 33 ⇒ Unit digit =
(34)250 × 33 ⇒Unit digit = (81)250 × 27
⇒ Unit digit = 1 × 7 = 7 ∴ The unit digit
is 7

27.The numbers in which the unit and

the tens place is same = 11, 22, 33, 44,
55, 66, 77, 88, 99 But prime number is
only 11 (in above these numbers) Hence,
the sum of the digits = 1 + 1 = 2 ∴ The
sum of the digits is 2.

24. Let total number of camels be 'x' 2 ⇒ 41 + 31 – 72 ⇒ 4 + 3 – 9 ⇒
7 – 9 or, 17 – 9 ⇒ 8 So, the unit
Then no. of camels seen in forest = x/4
digit of number x is 8
No. of camels gone to mountain = 2√x .
No. of camels seen on the bank = 15 29.Given: (795 – 358) Concept used:
Cyclicity of 7 is 4 Cyclicity of 3 is 4
Therefore, Total no. of camels, Calculation: 795 = 7(4 × 23) + 3 = 1 ×
x = x/4 + 2√x + 15 73 = 343 ⇒ Unit digit of 795 = 3 358 =
⇒ x = (x + 8√x + 60)/4 3(4 × 14) + 2 = 1 × 32 = 9 ⇒ Unit digit
of 358 = 9 Unit digit of (795 – 358) = 3
⇒ 4x = x + 8√x + 60
– 9 = -6 or 10 - 6 = 4 ∴ Unit place will
⇒ 3x - 8√x - 60 = 0 be 4 Note: 3 - 9 = -6 because we have to
⇒ 3x - 18√x + 10√x - 60 = 0 find the unit digit. whenever the result is
⇒ 3√x(√x - 6) + 10(√x - 6) = 0 negative add 10 in it.
⇒ (3√x +10)(√x - 6) = 0
⇒ (3√x +10) = 0 or (√x - 6) = 0 30..The unit digit of 25^43 is 5. The unit
⇒ √x = -10/3 or √x = 6 digit of 56^42 is 6. The unit digit of
456^25 is 6. The unit digit of 23^42 is 9.
on squaring,
The unit digit of 76^23 is 6. ∴ The
⇒ x = 100/3 or x = 36 resultant value of the unit digits = [(5 ×
No. of camels can not be a fraction 6) + 6 + 9 + 6] = (30 + 6 + 9 + 6) = 51
Hence x = 36 So, the unit digit of the expression is 1.
Important Points 23^42: Here, we need
Ans. No. of camels = 36 to know that the unit place of powers of
3 repeats after every 4th power. So, we
divide the power with 4 and check the
value of the remainder. 42/4 → 2
(remainder) So, the unit digit will be 32
= 9. The unit digits of other numbers
end with 5 and 6, the unit digit of the
power of which are the number itself
throughout.
