Multiple Choice Questions
Question. 1 Generalised form of a four-digit number abdc is
(a) 1000a + 100b + 10c + d (b) 1000a + 100c + 10b + d
(c) 1000a + 100b + 10d + c (d) a x b x c x d
Solution. (c) In generalised form, we express a number as the sum of the products of its digits with their respective place values.
abdc is written in generalised form as 1000a + 100b + 10d + c.
i.e. abdc = 1000a + 100b + 10d + c

Question. 2 Generalised form of a two-digit number xy is
(a)x + y (b)10x + y (c)10x-y (d)10y+x
Solution. (b) In generalised form, xy can be written as the sum of the products of its digits with their respective place values, i.e.xy = 10x+ y

Question. 3 The usual form of 1000a + 10b + c is
(a) abc (b) abc0 (c) a0be (d) ab0c
Solution. (c) Given expanded (or generalised) form of a number is 1000a + 10b + c. Then, we have to find its usual form.
We can write it as 1000 x a + 100 x 0 + 10 x b + c
i.e. a0bc, which is the usual form.

Question. 4 Let abc be a three-digit number. Then, abc – cba is not divisible by
(a) 9 (b) 11 (c) 18 (d) 33
Solution. (c) Given, abc is a three-digit number.
Then, abc = 100a + 10b + c
and cba = 100c + 10b + a
abc -eba = (100a + 10b + c)- (100c + 10b + a)
= 100a – a + 10b – 10b + c -100=
= 99a – 99c = 99 (a -c)
= abc-cba is divisible by 99.
=> abc – cba is divisible by 9,11,33, but it is not divisible by 18.

Question. 5 The sum of all the numbers formed by the digits x, y and z of the number xyz is divisible by (a) 11 (b) 33 (c) 37 (d) 74
Solution. (c) We have, xyz + yzx + zxy
= (100x + 10y + z) + (100y + 10 z+ x) + (100z+ 10x + y) …(i)
= 100x + 10x + x + 10y + 100y + y + z+ 100z+ 10Z
= 111x + 111y + 111z = 111 (x + y + z)
= 3 x 37 x (x + y + z)
Hence, Eq. (i) is divisible by 37, but not divisible by 11,33 and 74.

Question. 6 A four-digit number aabb is divisible by 55. Then, possible value(s) of b is/are
(a) 0 and 2 (b) 2 and 5 (c) 0 and 5 (d) 7
Solution. (c) It is given that, aabb is divisible by 55. Then, it is also divisible by 5.
Now, if a number is divisible by 5, then its unit digit is either 0 or 5.
Hence, the possible values of b are 0 and 5.

Question. 7 Let abc be a three-digit number. Then, abc + bca + cab is not divisible by
(a) a + b + c (b) 3 (c) 37 (d) 9
Solution. (d) We know that, the sum of three-digit numbers taken in cyclic order can be written as 111 (a + b + c).
i.e. abc + pea + cab = 3 x 37 x (a + b + c)
Hence, the sum is divisible by 3, 37 and (a + b + c) but not divisible by 9.

Question. 8 A four-digit number 4ob5 is divisible by 55. Then, the value of b-a is
(a) 0 (b) 1 (0 4 (d) 5
Solution. (b) Given, a four-digit number 4ab5 is divisible by 55. Then, it is also divisible by 11.
The difference of sum of its digits in odd places and sum of its digits in even places is either 0 or multiple of 11.
i.e. (4 + b) – (a + 5) is 0 or a multiple of 11, if 4 + b — a — 5 = 0 => b-a = 1

Question. 9 If abc is a three-digit number, then number abc -a-b-c is divisible by
(a) 9 (b) 90 (c)10 (d) 11
Solution. (d) We have, abc= 100a + 10b+c
.-. abc – a – b-c = (100a + 10b + c)-a – b-c = 100a – a + 10b – b = 99a + 9b = 9(11a + b)
Hence, the given number abc – a – b-c is divisible by 9.

Question. 10 A six-digit number is formed by repeating a three-digit number. For example, 256256, 678678 etc. Any number of this form is divisible by (a) 7 only (b) 11 only (c) 13 only (d) 1001
Solution.

Question. 11 If the sum of digits of a number is divisible by three, then the number is always divisible by (a) 2 (b) 3 (c) 6 (d) 9
Solution. (b) We know that, if sum of digits of a number is divisible by three, then the number must be divisible by 3, i.e. the remainder obtained by dividing the number by 3 is same as the remainder obtained by dividing the sum of its digits by 3.

Question. 12 If x +y + z = 6 and z is an odd digit, then the three-digit number xyz is
(a) an odd multiple of 3 (b) an odd multiple of 6
(c) an even multiple of 3 (d) an even multiple of 9
Solution. (a) We have, x + y+ z= 6 and z is an odd digit. Since, sum of the digits is divisible by 3, it will also be divisible by 2 and 3 but unit digit is odd, so it is divisible by 3 only.Hence, the number is an odd multiple of 3.

Question. 13 If 5A + 53 = 65, then the values of A and B is
(a) A = 2,8 = 3 (b) A = 3,8 = 2 (c)A = 2,8 = 1 (d)A=1,8 = 2
Solution.
NCERT Exemplar Class 8 Maths Chapter 13 Playing with Numbers img-2

Question. 14 If A3 + 8B = 150, then the value of A + B is
(a) 13 (b) 12 (c) 17 (d) 15
Solution. (a) We have, A3+ 8B = 150
Here, 3 + B = 0, so 3 + B is a two-digit number whose unit’s digit is zero.
.-. 3+B = 10=>B = 7
: Now, considering ten’s column, A+ 8 + 1 = 15
= A + 9 = 15
=> A = 6
Hence, A+B=6+7 = 13

Question. 15 If 5A x A = 399, then the value of A is
(a) 3 (b) 6 (c) 7 (d) 9
Solution. (c) We have, 5A x A = 399
Here, A x A= 9 i.e. A x A is the number 9 or a number whose unit’s digit is 9. Thus, the number whose product with itself produces a two-digit number having its unit’s digit as 9 is 7.
i.e. A x A = 49 => A=7
Now, 5 x A + 4 = 39
=> 5 x 7+4 = 39
So, A satisfies the product.
Hence, the value of A is 7.

Question. 16 If 6A x B = > 488, then the value of A-B is
(a)-2 (b) 2 (c) -3 (d) 3
Solution. (c) Given, 6A x B = A86
Let us assume, A = 1 and S = 3 Then, LHS = 61 x 3 = 183 and RHS = 183 Thus, our assumption is true.
A-6 = 1-3=-2

Question. 17 Which of the following numbers is divisible by 99?
(a) 913462 (b) 114345 (c) 135792 (d) 3572406
Solution. (b) Given a number is divisible by 99.
Now, going through the options, we observe that the number (b) is divisible by 9 and 11 both as the sum of digits of the number is divisible by 9 and sum of digits at odd places = sum of digits at even places.

Solution. 1,4,7
We know that, if a number is a multiple of 3, then the sum of its digits is again a multiple of 3, i.e. 2+0+x+3 is a multiple of 3.
x + 5 = 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 But, x is a digit of the number 20 x 3.
x can take values 0, 1,2, 3,……..9.
=> x + 5 = 6 or 9 or 12
Hence, x = 1 or4 or 7

Question. 20 3 x 5 is divisible by 9, if the digit x is————.
Solution. 1
Since, the number 3 x 5 is divisible by 9, then the sum of its digits is also divisible by 9. i.e. 3 + x + 5 is divisible by 9.
=>x + 8 can take values 9,18, 27,…
But x is a digit of the number 3 x 5, so x = 1.

Question. 21 The sum of a two-digit number and the number obtained by reversing the digits is always divisible by———–.
Solution. 11
Let ab be any two-digit number, then the number obtained by reversing its digits is ba.
Now, ab + ba = (10a + b) + (10b + a) = 11a + 11b = 11(a + b)
Hence, ab + ba is always divisible by 11 and (a + b).

Question. 22 The difference of two-digit number and the number obtained by reversing its digits is always divisible by ———-.
Solution. 9
Let ab be any two-digit number, then we have
ab – ba = (10a + b)- (10b + a)
= 9a – 9b = 9(a – b)
Hence, ab – ba is always divisible by 9 and (a – b).

Question. 23 The difference of three-digit number and the number obtained by putting the digits in reverse order is always divisible by 9 and——-.
Solution. 11
Let abc be a three-digit number, then we have
abc -cba = (100a + 10b + c)- (100c + 10b+ a) ; = (100a – a) + (c – 10Cc)
= 99a – 99c = 99(a -c)
= 9 x 11 x (a – c)
Hence, abc – cba is always divisible by 9,11 and (a – c).

Question. 68 Let D = 3, L = 7 and A = 8. Find the other digits in the sum
NCERT Exemplar Class 8 Maths Chapter 13 Playing with Numbers img-49
Solution. In the first column, we have
3 + S + 8, which is definitely a two digits number whose unit’s digit is 7.
S must be 6.
Now, in second column, 2A +1 = 16+1 = 7 [1 is carry forward]
In third column, M + 1 is a 2 digit number, therefore M must be 9.
Then, M + 1 = 9+ 1 = 10 6 = 1, U = 0
Hence, S = 6, M = 9, 6 = 1 and U = 0

Question. 69 If from a two-digit number, we subtract the number formed by reversing its digits then the result so obtained is a perfect cube. How many such numbers are possible? Write all of them.
Solution. Let ab be any two-digit number. Then, the digit formed by reversing it digits is ba.
Now, ab-ba = (10a+b)-(10b +a)
=(10a-a)+(b-10b)
= 9a – 9b = 9(a – b)
Further, since ab-ba is a perfect cube and is a multiple of 9.
.-.The possible value of a – b is 3.
i.e. a = b + 3
Here, b can take value from 0 to 6.
Hence, possible numbers are as follow.
For b = 0, a = 3, i.e. 30
For b = 1, a = 4, i.e. 41
For b =2, a = 5, i.e. 52
For b = 3, a = 6, i.e. 63
For b = 4, a = 7, i.e. 74
For b = 5,a = 8, i.e. 85
For b = 6, a = 9, i.e. 96

Question. 72 If 148101B095 is divisible by 33, find the value of B.
Solution. Given that the number 148101S095 is divisible by 33, therefore it is also divisible by 3 and 11 both.
Now, the number is divisible by 3, its sum of digits is a multiple of 3. i.e. 1 + 4+ 8+1 + 0+1 + B+ 0+ 9+ 5 is a multiple of 3.
29 + B = 0, 3, 6,9,…
=> B=1,4,7 …(i)
Also, given number is divisible by 11, therefore
(1+ 8 + 0+ B + 9)-(4 + 1+ 1+ 0 + 5)=0, 11,22, …
=> (18 + B) -11 = 0,11,22
B+ 7 = 0,11,22
=> B+7 = 11 => B = 4 …(ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have B = 4

Question. 73 If 123123A4 is divisible by 11, find the value of A.
Solution. Given, 12312344 is divisible by 11, then we have (1 + 3 + 2 + 4) – (2 + 1 + 3 + 4) is a multiple of 11.
i.e. (6+ 4)-10 =0,11,22,,..
=> A-4 = 0,11,22,…
=> A-4 = 0 [A is a digit of the given number]
=> A = 4

Question. 74 If 56 x 32y is divisible by 18, find the least value of y.
Solution. It is given that, the number 56 x 32y is divisible by 18. Then, it is also divisible by each factor of 18.
Thus, it is divisible by 2 as well as 3.
Now, the number is divisible by-2, its unit’s digit must be an even number that is 0, 2,4, 6, Therefore, the least value of y is 0.
Again, the number is divisible by 3 also, sum of its digits is a multiple of 3. i.e. 5 + 6 + x + 3 + 2 + y is a multiple of 3
=> 16 + x + y = 0, 3, 6, 9,…
=> 16+ x = 18
=>x = 2, which is the least value of x.
