Must Do: Divisiblity Concepts with Example Questions

Concept – Divisibility of a number


Divisibility by 2 — A number is divisible by 2 if the unit digit is zero or divisible by 2.
Ex. – 2, 4, 8, 16, 18 etc. are all divisible by 2.
Divisibility by 3 — A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of digits of the number is divisible by 3. 
Ex. – if 43n25 is divisible by 3 then find the minimum value n
Sol. 4+3+n+2+5 is divisible by 3 
So n=1,4,7
Minimum value of n=1 

Divisibility by 4 — A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 4 .
Ex. – 56248 is divisible by 4 since 48 is divisible by 4. 

Divisibility by 5 — A number is divisible by 5 if unit’s digit is 0 or 5. 
Ex. – 1225, 13750, 245 etc. are all divisible by 5. 

Divisibility by 7 — The unit digit of given number is doubled and then it is subtracted from the number obtained after omitting the unit digit. 
If the remainder is divisible by 7 then the given number is also divisible by 7.
 Ex. -is  343 divisible by 7 or not
Sol. Double unit digit 3 of 343 is 6 
Then, 34 – 6 = 28 which is divisible by 7.

Divisibility by 8 — A number is divisible by 8, if the number formed by the last 3 digits is divisible by 8.
Ex. 21056 is divisible by 8, as the number formed by last three digit i.e. 056 is divisible by 8. 

Divisibility by 9 — A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
 Ex. If 256x5 is divisible by 9, find the maximum  value of x 
Sol.   value of x divisible by 9 ⇒(18+x)/9
x=0,9       maximum value of x =9

Divisibility by 10 — An number is divisible by 10 if its last digit is zero 

 Divisibility by 11 — An number is divisible by 11 if the differences of the sum of the digit at odd places and sum of digit at even places is either zero or divisible by 11.
Ex. If 3x4567 is divisible by 11 then what is the value of x
Sol. 3+4+6-x+5+7=0 or divisible by 11
⇒1-x=0  
x=1  

Divisibility by 25 —  A number is divisible by 25 if the number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 25 or the last two digit are zero. 

Divisibility by 125 — A number is divisible by 125 if the number formed by last three digit is divisible by 125 or the last three digit are zero 

Divisibility by Composite number 
Divisibility of Composite number is the divisibility of its Coprime factor 
For Ex. – 
1. divisibility of 33 is divisibility of 3 and divisibility of 11 
2. divisibility of 165 is the divisibility of 3, 5 and 11.

Tricks to Solve Quadratic Equation With Examples

Quadratic equations – These are the equations which look like ax 2  + bx + c = 0 These equations are asked in the competitive examinations in a set of 5 questions. Enough with the theory, the question in exams look like - In each of the following questions, two equations are given. Solve these equations and give answer: A)  If x >= y, i.e. x is greater than or equal to y B)  If x > y, i.e. x is greater than y C)  If x <= y, i.e. x is less than or equal to y D)  If x < y, i.e. x less than y E)  If x = y, or no relation can be established between x and y Question 1: . Here we will discuss a method to solve these equations with minimal writing and as reduced time as possible. Keep in mind; we are doing exactly what we used to do before, just in a less time and less writing. +b +c * +a    Note that I have written coefficients along with their signs +5 +6 * +1    Now, the next task for us is to find the factors in a way...

Must Do: Speed, Distance and Time tricks with Example

Time and Distance The term times and distance area related to the speed of moving objects  Speed — We define the speed of an object as the distance covered by it in a unit time interval.  Speed =(Distance travelled)/(time taken) ⇒  Distance travelled = Speed × time  ⇒ Time =  Distance/Speed  Unit of measurement  If distance is measured in kilometer, we measure time in hours and speed is written as km/hr.  If distance is measured in meter, then time is taken in second and speed written as m/s  Conversion of unit 1 km/hr = (1000 mtr)/(60×60 seconds)=5/18 m/s 1 m/s =18/5 km/hr Ex. –   A train having length 500 m passes a pole in 30 second. Find the speed of a train (in km/hr)  ⇒Speed=Distance/time=500/30 m/s =500/30×18/5 km/hr  = 60 km/hr  Some useful short cut methods
