Exercise 5.1 - Playing with Numbers | R.D. Sharma | Mathematics | Class 8
Without performing actual addition and division write the quotient when the sum of 69 and 96 is divided by
(i) 11
(ii) 15
We know that:
The sum of any two digit number $\overline{a b}$ and the number $\overline{b a}$ by reversing its digits is completely divisible by
(i) the sum $a+b$ of its digits and the quotient is 11 .
(ii) 11 and the quotient is $a+b$ i.e. the sum of its digits.
Let's apply the provided rule to the numbers 69 and 96:
Identify the digits $a$ and $b$:
For 69, $a = 6$ and $b = 9$.
When reversed to get 96, the digits are essentially interchanged but remain $a = 6$ and $b = 9$.
Rule Application:
According to the rule, the sum of a two-digit number $\overline{ab}$ (69 here) and its reverse $\overline{ba}$ (96 here) is divisible:
(i) by the sum of its digits (a + b) (which is $6 + 9 = 15$) with a quotient of 11.
(ii) by 11 with a quotient of the sum of its digits (a + b) (which is $6 + 9 = 15$).
Applying these:
Division by 11:
The quotient when the sum of 69 and 96 is divided by 11 is (a + b = 15).
Division by 15:
The quotient when the sum of 69 and 96 is divided by 15 is 11.
Thus:
The quotient when the sum of 69 and 96 is divided by 11 is 15.
The quotient when the sum of 69 and 96 is divided by 15 is 11.
Without performing actual computations, find the quotient when $94-49$ is divided by
(i) 9
(ii) 5

Given that the number $\overline{35 a 64}$ is divisible by 3 , where $a$ is a digit, what are the possible values of $a$ ?
To find the values for $a$ such that the number $\overline{35a64}$ is divisible by 3, we need to use the rule of divisibility for 3. According to this rule, a number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
Let's calculate the sum of the known digits of the number $\overline{35a64}$ first: $$ 3 + 5 + 6 + 4 = 18 $$
Now we add the unknown digit $a$ to this sum: $$ 18 + a $$
This sum needs to be divisible by 3. Let's set up the divisibility condition: $$ (18 + a) \mod 3 = 0 $$
We can simplify the expression $18 + a$ modulo 3: $$ 18 \mod 3 = 0 \quad \text{(since 18 is divisible by 3)} $$
Therefore, the condition reduces to: $$ a \mod 3 = 0 $$
This means that $a$ itself must be a digit divisible by 3. The digits from 0 to 9 that are divisible by 3 are 0, 3, 6, and 9.
Hence, the possible values of $a$ are 0, 3, 6, and 9.
If $x$ is a digit such that the number $\overline{18 x 71}$ is divisible by 3 , find possible values of $x$.

Samir bought a box containing ball pens and gel pens. The number of ball pens was six, less than gel pens, and there were a total of 24 pens. How many gel pens did Samir buy?
Let's denote the number of ball pens as $x$ and the number of gel pens as $y$. According to the information provided, Samir bought a total of 24 pens. This can be expressed in equation form as:
$$ x + y = 24 $$
Additionally, it is stated that the number of ball pens was 6 less than the number of gel pens, which can be translated into the equation:
$$ x = y - 6 $$
To find the values of $x$ and $y$, we can substitute the expression from the second equation into the first equation:
Replace $x$ with $(y - 6)$:
$$ (y - 6) + y = 24 $$
Simplify the equation:
$$ 2y - 6 = 24 $$
Add 6 to both sides to solve for $y$:
$$ 2y = 24 + 6 = 30 $$
Divide both sides by 2:
$$ y = \frac{30}{2} = 15 $$
So, the number of gel pens (y) Samir bought is 15.
Now, to find the number of ball pens:
$$ x = y - 6 = 15 - 6 = 9 $$
Thus, the number of ball pens (x) Samir bought is 9.
The statement "Product of 38 and 72 is a multiple of 4." can be proved with the help of which of the following statements?
