When a number is divided by 156 it gives remainder 29 . If the same number is divided by 13 find the remainder.
When a number is divided by 156 it gives remainder 29.
It means the number is in the form of 156a+29.
When the same number is divided by 13,
the remainder will be $=29 \div 13=3$
$(59)^{8}-(57)^{8}$ is exactly divisible by which of the following ?
We know that when $\left(a^{n}-b^{n}\right)$
1. It is always divisible by $a-b$.
2. When $n$ is even it is also divisible by $a+b$.
3. When $n$ is odd it is not divisible by $a+b$.
Hence it is divisible by 59+57 = 116
A vendor sold three different colors of 2 meters of cloth to 110 customers. 30 customers bought red color and yellow color only. 20 customers bought Yellow and Maroon colors only. 25 customers bought Red and Maroon colors only. 29 bought all the three colors. How many people bought only one color of 2 meters of cloth?
ATQ,
Only Red and yellow color bought a customers $=$ 30
Only Yellow and maroon colors bought a customers $=20$
Only Red and maroon colors bought a customers $=25$
All three bought color $=29$
Only one color of 2 meters of cloth bought
$=(30-29)+(29-20)+(29-25)$
$=1+9+4$
$=14$
In a division operation, the divisor is 5 times the quotient and 9 times the remainder. If the remainder is 25, what will be the dividend?
We know that
Dividend $=$ Divisor $\times$ Quotient $+$ Remainder
According to question
Divisor $=5 \times$ Quotient $=9 \times$ Remainder
So,
Divisor $=9 \times 25=225$
Quotient $=\frac{225}{5}=45$
Hence,
Dividend $=225 \times 45+25$
$\Rightarrow10,125+25=10,150$
Total number of factors of $99^{3}-63^{3}-36^{3}$ is:
a – b – c = 0, then $a^{3}-b^{3}-c^{3}=3 a b c$
99 - 63 - 36 = 0
$99^{3}-63^{3}-36^{3}=3 \times 99 \times 63 \times 36$
$=3 \times 3^{2} \times 11 \times 3^{2} \times 7 \times 3^{2} \times 2^{2}$
$=2^{2} \times 3^{7} \times 7^{1} \times 11^{1}$
Number of factors = (power+1)
= (2+1) + (7+1) + (1+1) + (1+1)
= 3 × 8 × 2 × 2 = 96
Six digit number $5 a 4 b 6 c$ is divisible by 7 , 11 and 13. Find the value of $(3 a-5 b+7 c)$.
For a number to be divisible by 7,11 and 13, it must be divisible by $7 \times 11 \times 13$ i.e. $1001 .$
Now, we know that a 6 - Digit number divisible by 1001 is of the from xyz xyz.
$\Rightarrow$ If $5 \mathrm{a} 4 \mathrm{~b} 6 \mathrm{c}$ to be divisible by $1001 .$
$b=5, a=6, c=4$
So, $3 a-5 b+7 c=18-25+28$
$=21$
If a nine-digit number $789 x 6378 y$ is divisible by 72 , then the value of $x + y$ is:
Given,
$789x6378y$ is divisible by 72 i.e $9\times8$
Divisibility Rule of 8
If the last three digits of a number are divisible by 8, then the number is completely divisible by 8.
For 8, y = 4
Divisibility Rule of 9
If the sum of digits of the number is divisible by 9, then the number itself is divisible by 9.
For 9, x = 2
so, x+y = 4 + 2 = 6
Let $x=(433)^{24}-(377)^{38}+(166)^{54}$. What is the units digit of $x$ ?
Unit digit of (433)24 – (377)38 + (166)54 = 1 – 9 + 6 = -2
Unit digit can not be negative so unit digit = 10 – 2 = 8
$X 84 Y$ is divisible by 9, find the minimum value of $X+Y$.
If the sum of the digits is a multiple of 9 , then the number is divisible by 9 .
$X + 8 + 4 + Y$
Minimum value of X and Y is 2 and 4.
$2+ 8 + 4 + 4 = 18$ is divisible by 9 .
$X + Y = 2 + 4 = 6 $
If the product $4864 \times 9 \mathrm{P} 2$ is divisible by 12 , the value of $\mathrm{P}$ is:
If the last two digits of a number are divisible by 4, the number is divisible by 4.
Clearly, 4864 is divisible by 4 but the sum of these numbers is 22, so it is not divisible by 3.
So 9P2 will be the number that is divisible by 3.
By hit and trial method, we put p =1
Therefore
The number 912 is divisible by 3
In other words
To divide a whole number by 12
put p = 1
$49^{15}-1$ is exactly divisible by :
$a^n-b^n$ is divisible by $a-b$ for all $n$.
$a^n-b^n$ is divisible by $a+b$ if $n$ is Even.
$a^n+b^n$ is divisible by $a+b$ if $n$ is Odd.
$(49)^{15}-(1)^{15}$, here $\mathrm{n}=15$ i.e. odd
So it will be divisible by $49-1=\mathbf{4 8}$
$(49)^{15}$ can also be written as $\left(7^2\right)^{15}=(7)^{30}$
$\therefore(49)^{15}-(1)^{15}=(7)^{30}-(1)^{30}$
So it will also be divisible by $7+1=\mathbf{8}$
48 is multiple of 8.
If $7A6245B$ is divisible by $88$ , then what is the value of $B^2 -A^2$ ?
$88=8 \times 11$
So, $7 \mathrm{~A} 6245 \mathrm{~B}$ is divisible by both 8 and 11 .
Divisibility of 8 : If the last three digits of any number is divisible by 8 , then the number will be divisible by 8 .
$45 \mathrm{~B}$ is divisible by 8 , So $\mathrm{B}=6$
So, Number $=7 \mathrm{~A} 62456$
Divisibility of 11 : If the difference between the sum of digits at even places and that of those at odd places is 0 or a multiple of 11 , then the number is divisible by 11 .
$(7+6+4+6)-(A+2+5)=23-7-A=16-A$
$16-A=0 or 11$
16-A = 11
$A=5$
Hence, $B^2-A^2=36-25=11$
What is the average of all the prime numbers between 70 and 100 ?
Prime numbers between 70 and $100=71,73,79,83,89,$ and $97$
Average $=\frac{71+73+79+83+89+97}{6}=\frac{492}{6}=82$
What is the least multiple of 7, which when divided by 6, 9, 12 and 15 leaves a remainder 3 in each case?
LCM of $6,9,12$ and 15 $=180$
Number $=180 k+3$, which is a multiple of 7
when $k=5$
$175k+5k+3$
$=175\times5+5\times5+3$
$=875+25+3$
$=903$
Hence, the number $=903$
What is the remainder when the product of 330, 613 and 860 is divided by 17 ?
$\frac{330 \times 613 \times 860}{17}=\frac{7 \times 1 \times 10}{17}=\frac{70}{17}$
Remainder $=2$
The average of 11 consecutive numbers is 40 . The smallest of these numbers is:
Average of Arithmetic progression $=\frac{a+l}{2}$, where $\mathrm{a}$ is the first term and {l} is the last term.
$\frac{a+l}{2}=40$
$a+l=80$
$l=a+(n-1) d$, where $\mathrm{d}=1$, as the numbers are consecutive.
$l=a+10$
So, $a+a+10=80$
$\begin{aligned}
&2 a=70 \\
&a=35
\end{aligned}$
What is the greatest number by which when 156,181 and 331 are divided, the remainder is 6 in each case?
156 - 6 = 150
181 - 6 = 175
331 - 6 = 325
HCF of 150, 175 and 325 = 25
If the 7-digit number $x 8942 y 4$ is divisible by 56 , what is the value of $x^2-y$ for the largest value of $\mathrm{y}$, where $\mathrm{x}$ and $\mathrm{y}$ are natural numbers?
$
56=7 \times 8
$
So, the number must be divisible by both 7 and 8 .
Divisibility rule of 8 : If the last three digits of any number is divisible by 8 , then the number will also be divisible by 8 .
Divisibility rule of 7 : To check the divisibility of 7 , we multiply the unit digit by 2 and subtract it from the rest, and this process continues till the number
reduces to a smaller number. If the number so formed is 0 or multiple of 7 , then the number is divisible by 7 else it is not divisible by 7 .
$2 y 4$ is divisible by 8 , So $y=2$ or 6
As we need the maximum value of $y$, So $y=6$
So, Now $x 894264$ is divisible by 7
$ x 89426-8=x 89418 $
$ x 8941-16=x 8925 $
$ x 892-10=x 882 $
$ x 88-4=x 84 $
$ x 8-8=x $
$x$ can be 0 and 7 both, but since the number is a 7 digit number so the value of $x$ can not be 0 , as it will make the number a six digit number.
Hence $x=7$
$
x^2-y=7^2-6=49-6=43
