If the 8-digit number 7y9745x2 is divisible by 72, then the value of (2x - y) for the greatest value of x is:1. 182. 113. 144. 16 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 16 Given: 8 - digit number = 7y9745x2 Divisor = 72 Concept used: First, we should have to know the factors of divisor if all the factors are divided the given number, then the number is divisibly by 72 Divisibility rule of 8: If the last three digits are divisible by then the number is divisible by 8 Divisibility of 9: If the sum of all digits is divisible by 9 then the number is divisible by 9 2 and 4 are the factors of 8 so, if the number is divisible by 8 is also divisible by 2 and 4 3 is the factor of 9 so, if the number is divisible by 9 then the number is divisible by 3 2 and 3 are the factors of 6 Calculations: Factors of 72 = 1 , 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 To verify the number is divisible by 8 last three digits = 5x2 If the 6x6 is divisible by 8 then the number must be 512 or 552 or 592 Hence, x = 1 or 5 or 9 To verify the number is divisible by 9 sum of digits =7 + y + 9 + 7 + 4 + 5 + x + 2 ⇒ 34 + y + x 34 + y + x is divisible by 9 it must be 36 or 45 34 + y + x = 36 ⇒ x + y = 36 - 34 ⇒ x + y = 2 If we substitute x = 1 1 + y = 2 ⇒ y = 2 - 1 ⇒ y = 1 Here, the condition is x > y so x = 1 doesnot satisfy this condition Let take the number must be 45 ⇒ x + y = 45 - 34 ⇒ x + y = 11 If we substitute x = 1 1 + y = 11 ⇒ y = 11 - 1 ⇒ y = 10 x > y but the codition doesnt satisfy 10 is a 2 - digit number If we substitute x = 5 5 + y = 11 ⇒ y = 11 - 5 ⇒ y = 6 x < y for this condition so it doesnt satisfy If we substitute x = 5 9 + y = 11 ⇒ y = 11 - 9 ⇒ y = 2 x > y so the condition satisfieed 2x - y = 2 × 9 - 2 ⇒ 18 - 2 = 16 ∴ The required value is 16 |

Find the cube root of 13824?1. 342. 263. 244. 365. 32 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 24 Given: The given number = 13824 Concept: Calculation skills trick Calculation: Step(1): First, we will take the digit at the unit’s place. At the unit place, we have 4. Step(2): Now consider the cube table, the cube of which number has 4 as at the unit digit place. We see, 4 × 4 × 4 = 64. Step(3): That means the cube root of 13824 will have 4 at the unit place. Step(4): Now ignore the last 3 digits of 13824, i.e. 824 Step(5): Taking 59 as a reference number, we can see from the cubes table 13 lies between cubes of 2 and 3. Step(6): Here, we choose the lower number i.e. 2 ∴ We get the two digit of the answer ∴ Cube root of 13824 = 24 |
