Sir Help!

Find the digit A if the number 888….888A999….999 is divisible by 7, where both the digits 8 and 9 are 50 in number.

Hello Richa , 

Any digit repeated (p-1) times is always divisible by p if p is a prime number greater than 5. 

So 888888 written 6 times is divisible by 7 

[ or 888888 = 888 × ( 1001) = 888 × 7 × 11 × 13 so any digit repeated 6 times will be divisible by 7 , 11 and 13. ]
Hence ,  88888.... written 48 times ( a mutiple of 6) and 9999.... written 48 times  will be divisible by 7 

So we need to find the value of A for which 88A99 is divisible by 7 . 

88 × 1000 + A99 should be divisible by 7 

-4 + A × 100 + 99 should be divisible by 7 

-4 + 2A + 1 should be divisble by 7 

A = 5

Hi Tarishi

We Know, 

an + bn is divisible by a + b when n is ODD.

an – bn is divisible by a + b when n is EVEN.

an – bn is ALWAYS divisible by a – b.

So , 
182000 + 122000 – 52000 -12000

182000 – 52000   is divisible by (18 -5) i.e 13

122000 - 12000 is divisible by (12  + 1) i.e 13

so the whole expression is divisible by 13.

Again ,

182000 –12000 is divisible by ( 18 – 1) i.e 17

122000 – 52000 is divisible by ( 12 + 5) i.e 17

So the whole expression is divisible by 17.

Hence 182000 + 122000 – 52000 -12000 is divisible by ( 17 x 13) i.e 221.

let b be a positive integer and a =b^2-b . If b >= 4 , then a^2-2a is divisible by : 

a) 15 

b)20 

c) 24

d) All of the above

a = b2 – b

a2 – 2a = a (a – 2)

= (b2 – b)( b2 – b – 2)

= (b -1)(b-2) b (b+1)

Product of four consecutive integers is always divisible by 4! i.e = 24 .

hence Option C .

What is the remainder when 7777777.....201 digits is divisible by 41? Can we solve it using Euler's theorem? 

TG.Raman 09/09/2018 12:35 am

Hi Aarushi , 

 

Any digit repeated ( p -1) times is always divisible by p if p is a prime number greater than 5. ( an application of Euler's theorem ) 

 

So 77777..... written 40 times is divisible by 41. 

Hence 77777.... Written 200 times is a multiple of 41. 

 

Net remainder : 7

Common factors means Factors of HCF ( P,Q)

HCF (P,Q) = 27 x 35 x 73

For perfect squares , we can select : 

20, 22 , 24 , 26  in 4 ways
30 , 32 , 34  in 3 ways 
70 , 72 in 2 ways

We need even perfect square so at least one 2 should be there

Hence ,  3 x 3 x 2 = 18 factors ..

Let the three consecutive odd integers be a-2 , a  and a + 2

(a -2)2 + a2 + (a +2)= 3a2 + 8

Only option C gives remainder 2 when divided by 3 Hence , 5555.

How many 18-digit positive integers are there which ends in 18 as last two digits and are divisible by 18?

 

 

 
TG Team 10/10/2018 1:44 pm

18 = 2 x 9 so the number has to be divisible by 2 and 9 both. 

From the question it is clear that the number ends with 18 , hence it is divisible by 2 .

Sum of remaining digits must be a multiple of 9 .

Hence all 16 digit numbers divisible by 9 should be the answer.  

From 1015 to 1016 -1   there are [1016  – 1015]/9 =  1015 multiples of 9.

A and B when divided by 56 leave remainders of 48 and 32 respectively. When divided by 44, both leave a remainder of 24. If the sum of A and B is divisible by the sum of the divisors, then find the minimum value of (A + B).

A=56a+ 48

B=56b+ 32

A+B= {56(a+b) +80}

A and B leave reminder 24 when divided by 44 

A+B will leave reminder: (24+24)/44 = 4 

A+B={ 56(a+b)}/44= 4(reminder)

Check value of a+b by putting 1,2,3..... 

a+b =1 satisfies here and it is minimum hence 

A+B= 56*(1)+80

=136 (answer)

Nine distinct digits appear in the product of 2, 7,181, 241 and 607. Which digit is missing?

(a)1   (b)2   (c)4   (d)6

TG Team 14/10/2018 1:17 pm

The digital sum of a number N is same as the remainder obtained by dividing the number N by 9. 

Digital sum of the product 2 x 7 x 181 x 241 x 607 is  2 x 7 x 1 x 7 x 4 = 28 x 14 => 5 x 1 ;i.e 5.  

Since the sum of all digits from 0 to 9 (1234567890) is 45, which is divisible by 9.

The only digit missing that could produce a remainder of 5 by 9 when divided by 9 is 4.

How many natural numbers from (111)6 to (1111)are divisible by 9?

TG Team 15/10/2018 5:57 pm

Decimal representation of 1116 = 62 x 1 + 6 x 1 + 1 = 43 

Decimal representation of 11116 = 63x1 + 62x 1 + 6 x 1+ 1= 259 . 

Now , count multiples of 9 between these two numbers : [ 252 - 45]/2 + 1 = 24 Numbers .

Let the product of first thousand even positive integers is A and product of first thousand odd positive integers is B. Find the remainder when A – B is divided by 2001?

 

 

 
TG Team 17/10/2018 1:28 am

Product of first 1000 even numbers : 2 x 4 x 6 x 8 x........x 2000

= 2^1000 x ( 1 x 2 x 3 x ..... x 665 x 666 x 667 x ........ x 999 x 1000) = A 

Product of first 1000 odd numbers : 1 x 3 x 5 x 7x .... 665 x 666 x 667 ... x 1999 = B 

2001 = 3 x 667 

A and B both the numbers are  divisible by 3 and 667 . 

hence net remainder 0.

How many of the following numbers are prime?

I. 172012 – 19

II. 152013 – 13

III. 142031 – 27

TG Team 17/10/2018 1:15 am

I. 172012 – 19 => difference of two odd number is always even so composite 

II. 152013 – 13 => even , divisible by 2 Hence , composite 

III. 142031 – 27 => (14677 )3 – 3

( A3 - B3) is always divisible by (A - B),  so 142031 – 27 is  a composite number. 

Hence , None

77777...... 1001 times 

 

Any digit repeated 6 times is always divisible by 1001 so 

 

77777.... Written 996 times  is a multiple of 1001 

 

Hence , 77777 /1001=>

777 -77 = 700
