Question 1.
If 345 A 7 is divisible by 3,supply the missing digit in place of ‘A’.
Solution:
If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3.
∴ 345A7 ⇒ 3 + 4 + 5 + A + 7 = 19 + A
19 + A = 3 x 7
⇒ A = 21 – 19 = 2 ⇒ A = 24 – 19 = 5

A + 19 = 3 x 8
⇒ A = 24 – 19 = 5

A + 19 = 3 x 9
⇒ A = 27 – 19 = 8

∴ A = {2,5,8}

Question 2.
If 2791 A,is divisible by 9, supply the missing digit in place of ‘A’.
Solution:
If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 9, then the number is divisible by 9.
∴ 2791A = 2 + 7 + 9 + 1 + A = 9 x 3
⇒ 19 + A = 9 x 3 = 27
⇒ A = 27 – 19 = 8
∴ A = 8

Question 3.
Write some numbers which are divisible by 2,3,5,9 and 10 also.
Solution:
90, 180, 270. are divisible by 2, 3, 5, 9 and 10.
[∵ The L.C.M. of 2, 3, 5, 9, 10 is 90]

Question 4.
2A8 is a number divisible by 2, what might be the value of A’?
Solution:
If the units digit of a number be 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 then it is divisible by 2.
∴ 2A8 is divisible by 2 for any value of A.
∴ A = (0, 1, 2 ………………….9)

Question 5.
50B is a number divisible by 5, what might be the value of B?
Solution:
Given number is 50B.
The units digit of a number ¡s either ‘0’ or 5, then it is divisible by 5.
∴ 500 → \(\frac { 0 }{ 5 }\) (R = 0)
505 → \(\frac { 5 }{ 5 }\) (R = 0)
∴ B = {0, 5}

Question 6.
2P is a number which is divisible by 2 and 3, what is the value of P
Solution:
The given number is 2P.
If 2P is divisible by 2, 3 then 2P should be a multiple of 6. [ ∵ L.C.M. of 2, 3 is 6]
∴ 2P = 24, 30 ………….
24 → 2 + 4 → \(\frac { 6 }{ 3 }\) (R = 0)
∴ P = 4

Question 7.
54Z leaves remainder 2 when divided by 5 , and leaves remainder 1 when divided by 3, what is the value of Z’?
Solution:
If 54Z is divisible by 3 then the sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 3.
According to problem 54Z is divisible by 3 and leaves remainder 1’.
∴ 5 + 4 + Z = (3 x 4) + 1
= 9 + Z = 13
∴ Z = 4(or)
9 + Z = (3 x 5) + 1
9 + Z = 16
Z = 7
If 54Z is divisible by 5 then Z should be equal to either ‘0’ or ‘5’.
∴ 54(0 + 2) = 542 (Z = 2)
54(0 + 7) = 547 (Z = 7)
∴ From the above two cases
Z = 7
∵ 547 → \(\frac{7}{5}\)(R = 2)

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?
Solution:
27Q is divided by 5 gives the remainder 3
Le.,27Q = 27 (0 + 3) = 273(Z = 3)(T)
= 27 (0 + 8) = 278 (Z = 8)
27Q is divided by 2 gives the remainder 1.
i.e., 27Q = 27(0 + 1) = 271 (Z = 1)
27Q = 27 (0 + 3) = 273 (Z = 3) (T)
∴ From above situations Z = 3
∴ 27Q = 273→ 2 + 7 + 3 → \(\frac{12}{3}\)(R = 0)
∴ 273 is divisible by 3 and gives the remainder 0’.
