  1. 216 –1 is divisible by









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    ∵ 216 – 1 = (28)2–1
    = (28+1) (28–1)

    Correct Option: C

    ∵ 216 – 1 = (28)2–1
    = (28+1) (28–1)
    = (256 + 1) (256 – 1)
    216 – 1 = 257 × 255 which is exactly divisible by 17.


  1. Which one of the following will completely divide 571 + 572 + 573 ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    571 + 572 + 573 = 571 (1 + 5 + 52)

    Correct Option: C

    571 + 572 + 573 = 571 (1 + 5 + 52)
    ⇒ 571 + 572 + ⇒ 573 = 571 × which is exactly divisible by 155.
    Hence required answer is 155 .

    ∴ The required number = 11 – 4 = 7
    2nd Method to solve this question :
    Sum of digits at odd places = 2 + 6 + 0 = 8

    Correct Option: C


    ∴ The required number = 11 – 4 = 7
    2nd Method to solve this question :
    Sum of digits at odd places = 2 + 6 + 0 = 8, sum of digits at even places = 4 + 3 + 8 = 15. For divisibility by 11, difference i.e., (15 – 8) = 0 or mutiple of 11.
    ∴ The required number = 7

    According to question ,
    Divisor = 6 × Remainder
    Divisor = 6 × 2 = 12
    Again, Divisor = 3 × quotient

    ∴  Quotient =
    12
    = 4
    3

    Correct Option: A

    According to question ,
    Divisor = 6 × Remainder
    Divisor = 6 × 2 = 12
    Again, Divisor = 3 × quotient

    ∴  Quotient =
    12
    = 4
    3

    Dividend = 12 × 4 + 2
    Dividend = 48 + 2 = 50
