Question 5: Which of the above numbers are divisible by ?
(i) (ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
v(i)
Answer:
Note: A number is divisible by id the difference between the sum of its digits at odd places and the sum of the digits at even places is either 0 or a number divisible by
.
(i)
Difference = (sum of digits at odd places) – (sum of digits at even places) .
is not divisible by
. Hence then number is not divisible by
.
(ii)
Difference = (sum of digits at odd places) – (sum of digits at even places) .
is not divisible by
. Hence then number is not divisible by
.
(iii)
Difference = (sum of digits at odd places) – (sum of digits at even places)
is divisible by
. Hence then number is divisible by
.
(iv)
Difference = (sum of digits at odd places) – (sum of digits at even places)
is no divisible by
. Hence then number is not divisible by
.
(v)
Difference = (sum of digits at odd places) – (sum of digits at even places)
Hence then number is divisible by .
(vi)
Difference = (sum of digits at odd places) – (sum of digits at even places)
Hence then number is divisible by .
