Answer» (i) Given Number = 294 Check the divisibility by 3 Sum of digits = 2 + 9 + 4 = 15 15 is divisible by 3 so number 294 is also divisible by 3 Check the divisibility by 9 . Sum of digits = 2 + 9 + 4 = 15 ∵ Sum 15 is not divisible by 9 ∴ 294 is not divisible by 9 Check the divisibility by 11 4 x 1 + 9 x (- 1) + 2 x 1 = 4 – 9 + 2 = – 3 ∴ 294 is not divisible by 11 (ii) Given Number = 4455 Check the divisibility by 3 Sum of digits = 4 + 4 + 5 + 5 = 18 18 is divisible by 3 ∴4455 is divisible by 3 Check the divisibility by 9 Sum of digits 18 is divisible by 9 ∴ 4455 is divisible by 9 Divisibility by 11 5 x 1 + 5 x (-1) + 4 x 1 + 4 x (-1) 5 – 5 + 4 – 4 = 0 ∴ 4455 is divisible by 11 (iii) Given number = 1041966 Check the divisibility by 3 Sum of digits = 1 + 0 + 4 + 1 + 9 + 6 + 6 = 27 27 is divisible by 3 So,. 1041966 is divisible by 3 Divisibility by 9 27 is divisible by 9 ∴1041966 is divisible by 9 Divisibility by 11 6 x 1 + 6 x (- 1) + 9 x 1 + 1 x (- 1) + 4 x 1 + 0 x (-1) + 1 x 1 6 – 6 + 9 – 1 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 20 – 7 = 13 But 13 is not divisible by 11 So, 1041966 is not divisible by 11 |
