Playing with Numbers Exercise 5.2 Solution : 

Question no – (1) 

Solution :  

Since 35a64 is multiple of 3.

3 + 5 + a + 6 + 4 is a multiple of 3

= a + 6 is also multiple of 3

a + 6 = 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 ……….(i)

But a is a digit of the number 35a64

∴ a can take values 0,1,2,3, …..9

= a + 6 can take values 6,7, 8, 9, 10, …15 …..(ii)

From (i) and (ii) we get,

a + 6 = 6 or 9, or 12 or 12 or 15

= a = 0, a = 3, a = 6, a = 9

Hence, x = 3 , 6,

Therefore, the possible values of a will be 0,3, 6, 9 

Question no – (2) 

Solution :

Since 18×71 is multiple of 3

1 + 8 + x + 7 + 1 is x multiple of 3

= 8 + x is also multiple of 3

(8+x) = 1, 4, 7, ……(i)

But, x is a digit of the number 18×71

x can take values 1,2,3, ……9

= (8+x) = can take values 6,7,8,9,10 …15 ….(ii)

From, (i) and (ii) we get

8 + x = 9 or 12 or 15

= x = 1, x = 4, x =7,

Hence x = 1, 4, 7,

Therefore, the possible values of x will be 1, 4, 7

Question no – (3) 

Solution :

Since, 66784x is multiple of 9

6 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 4 + x is multiple of 9

= 4 + x is also multiple of 9

4 + x = 5, 14,………

= x = 5 or 14

Therefore, the possible values of x will be 5 or 14.

Question no – (4) 

Solution : 

67 × 19 is Divisible by 11.

(6 + x + 9) – (7+1) is a multiple of 11

= (15 + x) – 8 is a multiple of 11

(15 + x) 8 is a multiple of 11

(15 + x) = 0 or, 22, or 33

When x = 7 … then (15 + 7) = 2 multiple by 11.

Question no – (5) 

Solution : 

3 × 2 is multiple of 11.

We have,

Sum of the digits in odd places = 3 + 2 = 5

Sum of the digits in even places = y

Sum of the digits in even places – sum of digit in odd places = y – 5

If 3×2 is multiple by 11, then

y – 5 must be a multiple of 11.

= y – 5 = 0 or 11 or 22 or 33…….

y = 5 or 16 or 27……

Question no – (6) 

Solution : 

98215 × 2 is divisible by 4.

We have,

x² = 10x + 2 where x = 1 ,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,

x² = 12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72, 82, 92,…..

out of those values of a8 only 12, 32, 52, 72, 92, are divisible by 4.

x = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9,………

Therefore, all the possible values of x will be 1, 3, 5, 7, 9

Question no – (7) 

Solution : 

67×19 is Divisible by 11.

(6 + x + 9) – (7 + 1) is a multiple of 11

= (15 + x) – 8 is a multiple of 11

(15 + x) 8 is a multiple of 11

(15 + x) = 0 or, 22, or 33

When x = 7 … then (15+7) = 2 multiple by 11.

Question no – (12) 

Solution : 

6 is divisible by 2 not by 4.

Question no – (13) 

Solution : 

(i) If a number is divisible by 3 it must be divisible by 9

= False.

(ii) If a number is divisible by 9, it must be divisible by 3

= Yes, It is True that, if a number is divisible by 9, it must be divisible by 3.

(iii) If number is divisible by 4, it must be divisible by 8

= False.

(iv) If a number is divisible by 8, it must be divisible by 4

= True.

(v) A number is divisible by 18, if it is divisible by both 3 and 6

= False
Because, a number is divisible by 18, if it is divisible by both 2 and 9.

(vi) If a number is divisible by both 9 and 10, it must be divisible by 90

= True.

(vii) If a number exactly divides the sum of two numbers, it must exactly divide the numbers separately

= False.

(viii) If a number divides three numbers exactly, it must divide their sum exactly

= True.

(ix) If two numbers are co-prime, at least one of them must be a prime number

= False.

(x) The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is always divisible by 4

= True.
