(10) Find all possible values of x for which the number 7×3 is divisible by 3. Also, find each such number.

Solution: 7 + x + 3 = 10 + x

We know x can only be a single digit number.

And multiples of 3 between 10 to 20 is 12, 15 and 18.

We know that 12 = 10 + 2

15 = 10 + 5

18 = 10 + 8

Therefore the possible number are 2, 5, 8 and the numbers are 723, 753 and 783.

(11) Find all possible values of y for which the number 53y1 is divisible by 3. Also, find each such number.

Solution: 5 + 3 + y + 1 = 9 + y

We know y can only be a single digit number.

And multiples of 3 between 9 to 20 is 12, 15 and 18.

We know that 3 = 9 + 3

15 = 9 + 6

18 = 9 + 9

Therefore the possible number are 3, 6, 9 and the numbers are 5331, 5361 and 5391.

(12) Find the value of x for which the number x806 is divisible by 9. Also, find the number.

Solution: x + 8 + 0 + 6 = 14 + x

The closest multiple of 9 to 14 is 18.

Therefore, 18 = x + 14

⇒ 18 – 14 = x

⇒ x = 4

Therefore the number is 4806.

(13) Find the value of z for which the number 471z8 is divisible by 9. Also, find the number.

Solution: 4 + 7 + 1 + z + 8 = 20 + z

The closest multiple of 9 to 20 is 27.

Therefore, 27 = 20 + z

⇒ z = 27 – 20

⇒ z = 7

Therefore, the number is 47178.

(14) Give five examples of numbers, each one of which is divisible by 3 but not divisible by 9.

Ans: 21, 24, 30, 33, 39.

(15) Give five examples of numbers, each one of which is divisible by 4 but not divisible by 8.

Ans: 28, 36, 44, 52, 60.
