Question 4.
Using divisibility tests, determine which of the following numbers are divisible by 11:
(a) 5445
(b) 10824
(c) 7138965
(d) 70169308
(e) 10000001
(f) 901153
Solution:
(a) In 5445, sum of the digits at odd places = 5 + 4 = 9
Sum of the digits at even places = 4 + 5 = 9
Difference of both sums = 9 – 9 = 0
Since the difference is 0. Therefore, the number is divisible by 11.
(b) In 10824, sum of the digits at odd places = 4 + 8 + 1 = 13
Sum of the digits at even places = 2 + 0 = 2
Difference of both sums = 13 – 2 = 11
Since the difference is divisible by 11.
Therefore, the number is divisible by 11.
(c) In 7138965, sum of the digits at odd places = 5 + 9 + 3 + 7 = 24

Since the difference is 0. Therefore, the number is divisible by 11.
(f) In 901153, sum of the digits at odd places =3 + 1 + 0 = 4
Sum of the digits at even places = 5 + 1 + 9 = 15
Difference of both sums = 15 – 4 = 11
Since the difference is 11. Therefore, the number is divisible by 11.
Question 5.
Write the smallest digit and the greatest digit in the blank space of each of the following numbers so that the number formed is divisible by 3:
(a) _6724
(b) 4765 _2
Solution:
We know that a number is divisible by 3 if the sum of all digits is divisible by 3.
(a) The smallest digit will be 2.
∴ The number formed is 26724 and
2 + 6 + 7 + 2 + 4 = 21, which is divisible by 3.
And the greatest digit will be 8.
∴ The number formed is 86724 and
8 + 6 + 7 + 2 + 4 = 27, which is divisible by 3.
(b) The smallest digit will be 0.
∴ The number formed is 476502 and
4 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 0 + 2 = 24, which is divisible by 3.
And the greatest digit will be 9.
∴ The number formed is 476592 and
4 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 9 + 2 = 33, which is divisible by 3.
Question 6.
Write a digit in the blank space of each of the following numbers so that the number formed is divisible by 11 :
(a) 92 _ 389
(b) 8 _ 9484
Solution:
(a) We know that a number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of the digits at odd places and that of even places is either 0 or divisible by 11.
The number formed is 928389
Sum of digits at odd places = 9 + 3 + 2 = 14
Sum of digits at even places = 8 + 8 + 9 = 25
Their difference = 25 – 14 = 11, which is divisible by 11.
(b) We know that a number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of the digits at odd places and that of even places is either 0 or divisible by 11.
The number formed is 869484 Sum of digits at odd places = 4 + 4 + 6 = 14
Sum of digits at even places = 8 + 9 + 8 = 25
Their difference = 25 – 14 = 11, which is divisible by 11.
