is exactly divisible by
11, then the smallest
whole number in place
of x?
a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4

10
If the number 7×86038
is exactly divisible by
11, then the smallest
whole number in place
of x?
a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4

(7 + 8 + 0 + 8)–(x + 6
+ 3)= 11
23 – x – 9 = 11
x = 14 – 11 = 3

15
If a number is exactly
divisible by 85, then
what will be the
remainder when the
same number is
divided by 17?

a) 3 b) 1 c) 4 d) 0

16
If a number is exactly divisible
by 85, then what will be the
remainder when the same
number is
divided by 17?
a) 3 b) 1 c) 4 d) 0

Number is exactly Divisible by 85


so number = 85n ( n is whole
integer)
When number is divided by 17
85n/17 = (17 * 5n)/17 = 5n
so remainder = 0

17
If 72X23Y is divisible by 72,
then what is the value of X
and Y?

a) X=0;Y=1
b) X=2;Y=3
c) X=7;Y=2
d) X=2;Y=2

18
If a number has to be divisible
by 72, then it has to be
divisible by both 8 and 9.
Divisibility for 8 is last three
digits should be divisible by 8.

So Y takes only 2.
Now divisibility for 9 is sum of
the digits should be divisible
by 9.
So by substituting Y = 2, the
sum is divisible by 9 if X = 2.
So X = 2 and Y = 2 19
If abc4d is divisible by 4, then
d cannot be
a) 0 b) 4 c) 8 d) 2

20
If abc4d is divisible by 4, then
d cannot be
a) 0 b) 4 c) 8 d) 2

40, 44, 48 will be divisible by


4.
42 will not be divisible by 4.
Hence d cannot be 2

21
In a division problem, the
divisor is twenty times the
quotient and five times the
remainder. If remainder is 16,
the number will be:
a) 3360 b) 336
c) 1616 d) 20516

22
In a division problem, the
divisor is twenty times the
quotient and five times the
remainder. If remainder is 16,
the number will be:
a) 3360 b) 336 c)
1616 d) 20516

For any division,


dividend = (divisor ×
quotient) + remainder
In this case :- (80 × 4) + 16 =
320 + 16 = 336
So, the number is 336. 23

with as a digit x. If the number
is divisible by 6, what is the
value of the digit x is?
a) 1 b) 2 c) 3
d) 4 e) 6

24
If a number is divisible by 6, it
must be divisible by both 2
and 3
In 522x, to this number be
divisible by 2, the value of x
must be even.
So it can be 2, 4 or 6 from
given options
552x is divisible by 3, If the
sum of its digits is a multiple
of 3.
5+5+2+x =12+x ,
From the above we can say 25
What is the least value of x
such that 7648x is divisible by
11?
a) 1 b) 2 c) 3
d) 4 e)5

26
A number is divisible by 11
when the difference between
the sum of digits at even
places and at odd places is 0
or multiple of 11
The given number is 7648x.
(sum of digits at EVEN
places) – (sum of digits at
ODD places) = 0
(6 + 8 ) - ( x + 7 + 6 ) = 0 
14 - ( x + 13 ) = 0
Here the value of x must be
1. 27
Find the least value of ‘x’ so

divisible by 8
a)1 b) 2 c) 3
d) 4 e)6

28
Find the least value of ‘x’ so
that the number 73818x4 is
divisible by 8
a)1 b) 2 c) 3
d) 4 e)6

A number is exactly divisible


by 8, then the last 3 digits of
the numbers must be divided
by 8
Here the last 3 digits are 8x4.
Put each value in given
options in the place of x and 29
For a number to be divisible

What is the smallest number
which must be added to
8261955 so as to obtain a
sum which is divisible by 11?
a) 1 b)2 c)3
d)4 e)5

33
For divisibility by 11, the
difference of sums of digits at
even and odd places must be
either zero or divisible by 11.
For 8261955, Difference
=(8+6+9+5) -(2+1+5)=28-
8=20.
The units digit is at odd
place. So we add 2 to the
number
=> 8261955 +2 = 8261957
Now, (8+6+9+7) -
(2+1+5)=30-8=22 => 22 is 34
