CH-1 Divisibility Rules

• 2 – Last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8
• 3 – Sum is divisible by 3
• 4 – Last two digits are divisible by 4
• 5 – Last digit is 0 or 5
• 6 – Number is divisible by 2 and 3
• 7 – Using rule of Triplet, if alternating sum is divisible by 7
• 8 - Last three digits are divisible by 8
• 9 – Sum is divisible by 9
• 10 – Unit digit is 0
• 11 – Difference of odd digits and even digits are 0 or divisible by 11
• 12 – Number divisible by 3 and 4
• 13 - Using rule of Triplet, if alternating sum is divisible by 13

Practice Question – UPSC 2019


Question - An 8 digit number 4252746B leaves remainder 0 when divided by 3. How many values
of B are possible?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 6
Solution –
As per rule of divisibility by 3, the sum should be divisible by 3
Sum = 4 + 2 + 5 + 2 + 7 + 4 + 6 + B = 30 + B
So, 30 + B should be divisible by 3
B can take values of 0, 3, 6 and 9 for the sum to be divisible by 3
So, total 4 values are possible i.e. Option C is correct answer

Practice Question – UPSC 2020


Question - How many 5 digit prime numbers can be obtained by using all the digits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
without repetition of digits?

A. 0
B. 1
C. 9
D. 10
Solution – Digits given are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
Sum of digits = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15

UPSC CSAT Formula Book

15 is divisible by 3
Any number formed by using all 5 digits will have its sum as 15, which is divisible by 3
As number is always divisible by 3 (using rule of divisibility by 3), formation of prime number is not
possible
Thus, no prime number can be formed
Hence, option A is correct answer

UPSC CSAT Formula Book

As there is a page which is torn, we need to find value of n where the value on left hand side is
just above 195
n (n + 1)
For value of n = 20, = 210
2
This implies that sum of two numbers of the torn page must be 210 – 195 = 15
As the sum should be 15, only option B satisfies this condition

Practice Question – UPSC 2021


Question - A biology class at high school predicted that a local population of animals will double in
size every 12 years. The population at the beginning of the year 2021 was estimated to be 50
animals. If P represents the population after n years, then which one of the following equations
represents the model of the class for the population?
A. P = 12 + 50n
B. P = 50 + 12n
C. P = 50 (2)12n
D. P = 50 (2)n/12
Solution –
The population is getting doubled every 12 years
So, this is a case of Geometric Progression
So, r = 2
Also, initial population = 50
Being a case of GP, the population should be in form of arn-1 or 50(2)t

Thus, option A and B are eliminated since they are not represented in this particular manner
Check for option C and D by putting value of n =12 for doubling of population, we find that option
C gives correct answer
Hence, option C is right choice

Practice Question - UPSC 2020


Question - How many pairs of natural numbers are there such that the difference of whose squares is 63?
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 2
Solution - Let the required natural numbers be a and b
As per statement, a2 – b2 = 63

Using formula a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b)

(a + b) (a – b) = 63
63 = 9*7
Or 63 = 21*3
Or 63 = 63*1
There will be a total of three possible cases in which product of two numbers is 63

Case 1 :
(a + b) = 9 and (a – b) = 7
Then a = 8 and b = 1

Case 2 :
(a + b) = 21 and (a – b) = 3
Then a = 12 and b = 9

Case 3 :
(a + b) = 63 and (a – b) = 1
Then a = 32 and b = 31

Total three such pair will be there


Hence, option A is correct answer

Question - The average score of a batsman after his 50th innings was 46.4. After 60th innings, his
average score increases by 2.6. What was his average score in the last ten innings?
A. 122
B. 91
C. 62
D. 49
Solution –
Average score after 50 innings = 46.4
Total score after 50 innings = Average * Number

Average after 60 innings = 46.4 + 2.6 = 49
Total score after 60 innings = Average * Number
= 49 * 60 = 2940
Runs scored in last 10 innings = Score after 60 innings – Score after 50 innings

Practice Question – UPSC 2019


Question - All members of a club went to Mumbai and stayed in a hotel. On the first day, 80%
went for shopping and 50% went for sightseeing, whereas 10% took rest in the hotel. Which of the
following conclusion(s) can be drawn from the above data?

1. 40% members went for shopping as well as sightseeing.

2. 20% members went for only shopping.

Select the correct answer using the code given below:

A. 1 only

B. 2 only

C. Both 1 and 2

D. Neither 1 nor 2

Solution –

n (Shopping) or n (S1) = 80%


n (Sight Seeing) or n (S2)= 50%
People who took rest = 10%
This implies that rest 90% (100-10) people went either for Shopping or Sight Seeing
So, n(S1 ⋃ S2) = 90%
Using Formula,

n(S1 ⋃ S2) = n(S1) + n(S2) – n(S1⋂S2)


90 = 80 + 50 - n(S1⋂S2)
n(S1⋂S2) = 40%
So, 40% members went for shopping as well as sightseeing
Statement 1 is correct.

People who went for only Shopping = n(S1) - n(S1⋂S2)


= 80 – 40 = 40%
Statement 2 is incorrect
Hence, option A is correct

Practice Question – UPSC 2021


Question - Which day is 10th October, 2027 if it is Sunday on 10th October, 2021?

A. Sunday

B. Monday

C. Tuesday

D. Saturday

Solution –

We need to find day after exactly 6 years i.e. 2027 – 2021 =6


From 2021 to 2027, there are 5 normal years and 1 year (2024)

Normal year has 52 weeks and 1 extra day


Leap year has 52 weeks and 2 extra days

So, extra days = (Number of normal years * 1) + (Number of Leap years * 2)


= (5*1) + (1*2)
=7

So, day on 10th October, 2027 = Day on 10th October, 2021 + Extra days
= Sunday + 7
= Sunday
Hence, option A is correct answer

CH-23 Unit Digit


Unit digit when a number is raised to some power
• 0 – Always 0
• 1 – Always 1
• 2 – 2,4,8,6
• 3 – 3,9,7,1
• 4 – 4, 6
• 5 – Always 5
• 6 – Always 6
• 7 – 7,9,3,1
• 8 – 8,4,2,6
• 9 – 9, 1

Examples –
If we have to find unit digit in (4167)434, then simply check for 7 – possibilities are 7, 9, 3 or 1…

As 7 follows a cyclicity of 4, we divide power i.e. 434 by 4 to get remainder of 2

Corresponding to remainder 2, the second number in 7, 9, 3 or 1 is 9


Hence, unit digit will be 9

If we have to find unit digit in (24163)147, then simply check for 3 – possibilities are 3, 9, 7 or 1

As 3 follows a cyclicity of 4, we divide power i.e. 147 by 4 to get remainder of 3

Corresponding to remainder 3, the third number in 3, 9, 7 or 1 is 7


Hence, unit digit will be 7

Time taken to complete 100 % work = 40 days
Person Y
Time taken to complete 25% work = 6 days
Time taken to complete 100 % work = 24 days
Both together
1 1 1
Amount of work done in 1 day = + =
