(iv) 1057982
(v) 6543207
(vi) 818532
(vii) 900163
(viii) 7531622

Answer 8:

A given number is divisible by 11, if the difference between the sum of its digits at odd places and the sum of its digits at even places is
either 0 or a number divisible by 11.

(i) 22222
For the given number,
sum of the digits at odd places = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6
sum of digits at even places = 2 + 2 = 4
Difference of the above sums = 6 − 4 = 2
Since the difference is not 0 and neither a number divisible by 11 so, the 22222 is not divisible by 11.

(ii) 444444
For the given number,
sum of the digits at odd places = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12
sum of digits at even places = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12
Difference of the above sums = 12 − 12 = 0
Since the difference is 0 so the given number 444444 is divisible by 11.

(iii) 379654
For the given number,
sum of the digits at odd places = 4 + 6 + 7 = 17
sum of digits at even places = 5 + 9 + 3 = 17
Difference of the above sums = 17 − 17 = 0
Since the difference is 0 so the given number 379654 is divisible by 11.

(iv) 1057982
For the given number,
sum of the digits at odd places = 2 + 9 + 5 + 1 = 17
sum of digits at even places = 8 + 7 + 0 = 15
Difference of the above sums = 17 − 15= 2
Since the difference is not 0 and neither a number divisible by 11 so, the 1057982 is not divisible by 11.

(v) 6543207
For the given number,
sum of the digits at odd places = 7 + 2 + 4 + 6 = 19
sum of digits at even places = 0 + 3 + 5 = 8
Difference of the above sums = 19 − 8 = 11
Since the difference is 11 which is surely divisible by 11 so the given number 6543207 is divisible by 11.

(vi) 818532
For the given number,
sum of the digits at odd places = 2 + 5 + 1 = 8
sum of digits at even places = 3 + 8 + 8 = 19
Difference of the above sums = 19 − 8 = 11
Since the difference is 11 which is surely divisible by 11 so the given number 818532 is divisible by 11.

(vii) 900163
For the given number,
sum of the digits at odd places = 3 + 1 + 0 = 4
sum of digits at even places = 6 + 0 + 9 = 15
Difference of the above sums = 15 − 4 = 11
Since the difference is 11 which is surely divisible by 11 so the given number 900163 is divisible by 11.

(viii) 7531622
For the given number,
sum of the digits at odd places = 2 + 6 + 3 + 7 = 18
sum of digits at even places = 2 + 1 + 5 = 8
Difference of the above sums = 18 − 8 = 10
Since the difference is 10 which is not divisible by 11 so the given number 7531622 is not divisible by 11.

6543 − (2 × 6) = 6543 − 12 = 6531, which is divisible by 7.
Hence, 65436 is divisible by 7.

(vi) 54636
5463 − (2 × 6) = 5463 − 12 = 5451, which is not divisible by 7.
Hence, 54636 is not divisible by 7.

(vii) 98175
9817 − (2 × 5) = 9817 − 10 = 9807, which is divisible by 7.
Hence, 98175 is divisible by 7.

(viii) 88777
8877 − (2 × 7) = 8877 − 14 = 8863, which is not divisible by 7.

Question 10:

Find all possible values of x for which the number 7x3 is divisible by 3. Also, find each such number.

Answer 10:

For a number to be divisible by 3, the sum of the digits must be divisible by 3.

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Sum} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{the} \mathrm{digits}\mathit{ }\mathit{=}\mathit{ }7\mathit{ }+\mathit{ }x\mathit{ }+ 3 \\ \mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{ }\mathit{=}\mathit{ }10 +\mathit{ }x \end{gathered}$$

$10 + x$ will be divisible by 3 in the following cases:

$$\begin{gathered} 10 + x = 12, or x =2 \\ \mathrm{Thus}, \mathrm{the} \mathrm{number} \mathrm{will} \mathrm{be} 723. \\ 10 + x = 15, or x = 5 \\ \mathrm{Thus}, \mathrm{the} \mathrm{number} \mathrm{will} \mathrm{be} 753. \\ 10 + x = 18, or x = 8 \\ \mathrm{Thus}, \mathrm{the} \mathrm{number} \mathrm{will} \mathrm{be} 783. \end{gathered}$$

So, the numbers can be 723, 753 or 783.

Question 11:

Find all possible values of y for which the number 53y1 is divisible by 3. Also, find each such number.

Answer 11:

If a number is divisible by 3, then the sum of the digits is also divisible by 3.

Sum of the digits = $5 + 3 + y + 1 = 9 + y$

The sum of the digits is divisible by 3 in the following cases:

$$\begin{gathered} 9 + y = 9, or y = 0 \\ \mathrm{Then} \mathrm{the} \mathrm{number} \mathrm{is} 5301. \\ 9 + y = 12, or y = 3 \\ \mathrm{Then} \mathrm{the} \mathrm{number} \mathrm{is} 5331. \\ 9 + y = 15, or y = 6 \\ \mathrm{Then} \mathrm{the} \mathrm{number} \mathrm{is} 5361. \\ 9 + y = 18, or y = 9 \\ \mathrm{Then} \mathrm{the} \mathrm{number} \mathrm{is} 5391. \end{gathered}$$

∴ y = 0, 3, 6 or 9
The possible numbers are 5301, 5331, 5361 and 5391.

Question 12:

Find the value of x for which the number x806 is divisible by 9. Also, find the number.

Answer 12:

For a number to be divisible by 9, the sum of the digits must be divisible by 9.

Sum of the digits in the given number = $x + 8 + 0 + 6 = x + 14$

The sum of the digits is divisible by 9, only in the following case:

$$\begin{gathered} x =4 \\ or \\ x + 14 =18 \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the number x806 is divisible by 9 if $x$ is equal to 4.

The number is 4806.

Question 14:

Give five examples of numbers, each one of which is divisible by 3 but not divisible by 9.

Answer 14:

For a number to be divisible by 3, the sum of the digits should be divisible by 3.
And for the number to be divisible by 9, the sum of the digits should be divisible by 9.
Let us take the number 21.
Sum of the digits is 2 + 1 = 3, which is divisible by 3 but not by 9. Hence, 21 is divisible by 3 not by 9.
Similarly, lets check the number 24. Here, 2 + 4 = 6. This is divisible by 3 not by 9.
The number 30 will be divisible by 3 not by 9 as 3 + 0 = 3.
The number 33 will give 3 + 3 = 6, which is divisible by 3 not by 9.
Also 39 has the digits 3 + 9 = 12, which is divisible by 3 not by 9.
Hence, the numbers 21, 24, 30, 33 and 39 are divisible by 3 not by 9.
