Solution

1. Number is divisible ten so unit place must be 5. 1. n3 – n = n(n2 – 1) = n(n – 1)(n + 1)

0. (n – 1), n and (n + 1) are three consecutive number
Let the hundred and tens place be a and b so, it is always divisible by 6.
respectively. 2. n5 – n = n(n4– 1) = n(n2 – 1) (n2 + 1) = n(n – 1)(n
+ 1) (n2 + 1)
Number = 100a + 10b + 0 = 100a + 10b
Let n = 2
From statement 1 after interchanging the digit,
n(n – 1)(n + 1) (n2 + 1) = 2(2 – 1)(2 + 1) (22 + 1) =
New number = 100b + 10a 30
100a + 10b – 180 = 100b + 10a 30 is divisible by 5
Or, 90a – 90b = 180 3. n5 - 5n3 + 4n
a – b = 180/90 = 2……………….(i) Let n = 3
From statement 2 n5 - 5n3 + 4n = 35 - 5×33 + 4×3
Hundred place digit = a/2 = 243 – 135 + 12 = 120
Required number = 50a + 0×10 + b = 50a + b 120 is divisible by 120.
100a + 10b – 336 = 50a + b Hence, All statements are true.
Or,50a + 9b = 336……………(ii)
6. Let n = 8
Multiply equation(i) by 9 and add
n–1=8–1=7
9a - 9b + 50a + 9b = 336 + 18
n+1=8+1=9
Or, 59a = 354 n² + 1 = 8² + 1 = 65
a = 354/59 = 6 Hence, 5 divides (n² + 1)
b=6–2=4 (n² – 1) = (8² – 1) = 63
Required number = 640 5 does not divide (n² + 1).
Both statements are required. (n² + n) = (8² + 8) = 72
99 5 does not divide (n² + n).

Required remainder = 11 – 1 = 10
7. Let X = 1 and Y = 2
3. Let the odd number be 9 XYXYXY = 121212
Even power of 9 = 94 = 6561 121212 = 3 × 40404
6561 = 8 × 820 + 1 121212 = 7 × 17316
Required remainder = 1 121212 = 13 × 9324
121212 = 37 × 3276
4. We know that, an – bn is always divisible by (a + Hence, XYXYXY divisible by 3,7,13 and 37.
b) and (a – b) when n is an even number.
97 30 - 14 30 is always divisible by 111(97 + 14) and 8. Divisibility of 25: If last two digits of the number
83(97 – 14). is divisible by 25 then number is divisible by 25.
111 = 37 × 3 So, y = 2
Hence, 9730 - 1430 is divisible by both 37 and 83. Statement I:

Since, we have given the difference of light seen in

put m = 277 151. GM = 3 def

Given number is 763 × 442 P < q < r < 13

For k = 2, f(2) of k is 4 times of k and it increased by 7 4k and (4k

For k = 3

For k = 5, f(5) = 8 × 5 + 1 = 41
f(k) = (8k + 1) is square of an old integer only for Sol. we take sum of square of unit place digit
