  1. If n is an integer, then (n3 – n) is always divisible by :









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    n3 – n = n (n + 1) (n – 1)
    n = 1, n3 – n = 0
    n = 2, n3 – n = 2 × 3 = 6

    Correct Option: C

    n3 – n = n (n + 1) (n – 1)
    n = 1, n3 – n = 0
    n = 2, n3 – n = 2 × 3 = 6
    n = 3, n3 – n = 3 × 4 × 2 = 24
    n = 4, n3 – n = 4 × 5 × 3 = 60
    ⇒ 60 ÷ 6 = 10
    Hence , required answer is 6.


  1. If a number is divisible by both 11 and 13, then it must be necessarily :

    As we know that If a number is divisible by both 11 and 13, then it will be also divisible by multiple of both 11 and 13 .

    Correct Option: C

    As we know that If a number is divisible by both 11 and 13, then it will be also divisible by multiple of both 11 and 13 i.e.
    divisible by (11 × 13) .



  1. If the sum of the digits of any integer lying between 100 and 1000 is subtracted from the
    number, the result always is

    Number = 100p + 10q + r
    Sum of digits = p + q + r
    Difference = 100p + 10q + r – p – q – r

    Correct Option: C

    Number = 100p + 10q + r
    Sum of digits = p + q + r
    Difference = 100p + 10q + r – p – q – r
    Difference = 99p + 9q = 9 (11p + q)
    Therefore , required answer is 9 .


  1. If the sum of the two numbers is 120 and their quotient is 5, then the difference of the two numbers is–

    Let p and q are two numbers .
    According to question ,
    p + q = 120 ....... (i)

    p
    = 5
    q

    Correct Option: C

    Let p and q are two numbers .
    According to question ,
    p + q = 120 ....... (i)

    p
    = 5
    q

    ⇒ p = 5q
    From, equation (i),
    5q + q = 120
    ⇒ 6q = 120 ⇒  q = 20
    ∴ p = 120 – 20 = 100
    ∴  Required difference = 100 – 20 = 80



  1. If ‘n’ be any natural number, then by which largest number (n3 – n) is always divisible ?

    n3 – n = n (n2 – 1)
    n3 – n = n (n + 1) (n – 1)
    For n = 2, n3 – n

    Correct Option: B

    n3 – n = n (n2 – 1)
    n3 – n = n (n + 1) (n – 1)
    For n = 2, n3 – n
    ⇒ 23 – 2 = 8 - 2 = 6
    Hence , ( n3 – n ) is divisible by 6.
