We know that the difference of the sum of alternate digits 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 and 2 + 2 + 2 +2 = 8 is 0.
Therefore, the number is divisible by 11.
17. If 1*548 is divisible by 3, then * can take the value
(a) 0
(b) 2
(c) 7
(d) 8
Solution:
The option (a) is correct answer.
We know that the sum of the given digits = 1 + 5 + 4 + 8 = 18

Hence 18 is a multiple of 3 and the required digit is 0.

4 |10
18. 5*2 is a three digit number with * as a missing digit. If the number is divisible by 6, the missing digit is.
(a) 2
(b) 3
(c) 6
(d) 7
Solution:
The option (a) is correct answer.
We know that the sum of the given digits = 5 + 2 = 7

Multiple of 3 greater than 7 is 9.

So we get 9 − 7 = 2

Hence, the required digit is 2.

19. What least value should be given to * so that the number 6342*1 is divisible by 3?
(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) 2
(d) 3
Solution:
The option (c) is correct answer.
We know that the sum of the given digits = 6 + 3 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 16

Multiple of 3 greater than 16 is 18.

Difference between them = 18 − 16 = 2

Hence, the smallest required digit is 2.

20. What least value should be given to * so that the number 915*26 is divisible by 9?
(a) 1
(b) 4
(c) 2
(d) 6
Solution:
The option (b) is correct answer.
We know that the sum of the given digits = 9 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 6 = 23

Multiple of 9 greater than 23 is 27

Difference between them = 27 − 23 = 4

Therefore, the smallest required digit is 4.

5 |10
21. What least number be assigned to * so that number 653*47 is divisible by 11?
(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 6
(d) 9
Solution:
The option (a) is correct answer.
We know that the sum of the digits at odd places = 6 + 3 + 4 = 13

In the same way the sum of the digits at even places = 5 + * + 7 = 12 + *

Difference between them = 13 − [12 + *] = 1 + *

So 6, 53,*47 is divisible by 11, then 1 + * must be zero or multiple of 11

It can be written as
1 + * = 0 or 11 and * = 1 or 10

We know that * is a digit, so it must be 1.

22. What least number be assigned to * so that the number 63576*2 is divisible by 8?
(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 3
(d) 4
Solution:
The option (c) is correct answer.
We know that a number is divisible by 8 if the number formed by its last three digits is divisible by 8.

Hence, 63, 57, 6*2 is divisible by 8 if 6*2 is divisible by 8.

Therefore, the least value of * will be 3.

23. Which one of the following numbers is exactly divisible by 11?
(a) 235641
(b) 245642
(c) 315624
(d) 415624
Solution:
The option (d) is correct answer.
We know that the sum of digits at odd places = 4 + 5 + 2 = 11

The same way the sum of digits at even places = 1 + 6 + 4 = 11

So the difference between them = 11 − 11 = 0

Hence, 4, 15,624 is divisible by 11.

6 |10
24. If 1*548 is divisible by 3, which of the following digits can replace *?
(a) 0
(b) 2
(c) 7
(d) 9
Solution:
The option (a) is correct answer.
We know that the sum of the given digits = 1 + 5 + 4 + 8 = 18

18 is a multiple of 3 then the required digit is 0.

(a) 199
(b) 201
(c) 211
(d) 272
Solution:
The option (d) is correct answer.
We know that the prime numbers between 60 and 75 are 61, 67, 71, and 73.

So their sum is

61 + 67 + 71 + 73 = 272
26. The HCF of two consecutive natural numbers is
(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) 2
(d) non-existant

7 |10
28. The HCF of two consecutive odd numbers is
(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 0
(d) non-existant
Solution:
The option (a) is correct answer.

Hence, HCF of two consecutive odd numbers is 1.

29. The HCF of an even number and an odd number is
(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 0
(d) non-existant
Solution:
The option (a) is correct answer.
Some of the examples are:

(a) 4
(b) 90
(c) 360
(d) 720
Solution:
The option (c) is correct answer.
We know that

The given numbers can be written as

24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 23 × 3

36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 22 × 32

40 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 = 23 × 5

We get 2, 3, and 5 as the prime factors having highest powers 3, 2, and 1.

So we get LCM of 24, 36, and 40 = 23 × 32 × 5 = 8 × 9 × 5 = 360

8 |10
31. If x and y are two co-primes, then their LCM is
(a) xy
(b) x + y
(c) x/y
(d) 1
Solution:
The option (a) is correct answer.
We know that LCM of two co-prime numbers is equal to their product.

Hence, LCM of ‘x’ and ‘y’ will be xy.

32. If the HCF of two number is 16 and their product is 3072, then their LCM is
(a) 182
(b) 192
(c) 12
(d) None of these
Solution:
The option (b) is correct answer.
We know:

Product of HCF and LCM = Product of two numbers

By substituting the values

16 × LCM = 3,072

So we get LCM = 3,072/16=192

33. The least number divisible by 15,20,24,32 and 36 is
(a) 1440
(b) 1660

(d) None of these
Solution:
The option (a) is correct answer.
We can find the least number which is divisible by 15, 20, 24, 32 and 36

9 |10
We know that LCM of 15, 20, 24, 32 and 36 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 1,440

Therefore, 1,440 is the least number that is divisible by 15, 20, 24, 32 and 36.
34. The smallest number which when diminished by 3 is divisible by 11, 28, 36 and 45 is

We get the required smallest number = 13,860 + 3 = 13,863
35. Three numbers are in the ratio 1:2:3 and their HCF is 6, the numbers are
(a) 4,8,12
(b) 5,10,15
(c) 6,12,18
(d) 10,20,30
Solution:
The option (c) is correct answer.
We know that the three numbers are 1× HCF, 2 × HCF, and 3 × HCF, i.e. 1 × 6 = 6, 2 × 6 = 12, and 3 × 6 = 18.

Hence, the numbers are 6, 12 and 18.

36. The ratio of two numbers is 3:4 and their HCF is 4. Their LCM is
