    A number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of digits at odd and even places be either zero or multiple of 11.

    Correct Option: D

    A number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of digits at odd and even places be either zero or multiple of 11. If the middle digit be 4, then 24442 or 244442 etc are divisible by 11.



  1. If n is a whole number greater than 1, then n2(n2 – 1) is always divisible by :

    n2(n2–1) = n2 (n + 1) (n – 1)
    Now, we put values n = 2, 3..... When n = 2
    ∴  n2(n2 –1) = 4 × 3 × 1 = 12, which is a multiple of 12

    Correct Option: B

    n2(n2–1) = n2 (n + 1) (n – 1)
    Now, we put values n = 2, 3..... When n = 2
    ∴  n2(n2 –1) = 4 × 3 × 1 = 12, which is a multiple of 12
    When n = 3.
    n2(n2 –1) = 9 × 4 × 2 = 72,
    which is also a multiple of 12. etc.


  1. A 4-digit number is formed by repeating a 2-digit number such as 2525, 3232, etc. Any number of this form is always exactly divisible by :

    Let the unit digit be p and ten’s digit be q.
    ∴ Number = 1000q + 100p + 10q + p
    Number = 1010q + 101p = 101(10q + p)

    Correct Option: D

    Let the unit digit be p and ten’s digit be q.
    ∴ Number = 1000q + 100p + 10q + p
    Number = 1010q + 101p = 101(10q + p)
    Clearly, this number is divisible by 101, which is the smallest three-digit prime number.



  1. The greatest whole number, by which the expression n4 + 6n3 +11n2 + 6n + 24 is divisible for every natural number n, is

    For n = 1
    n4 + 6n3 +11n2 + 6n + 24
    ⇒ n4 + 6n3 +11n2 + 6n + 24 = 1 + 6 + 11 + 6 + 24 = 48
    For n = 2
    n4 + 6n3 +11n2 + 6n + 24

    Correct Option: D

    For n = 1
    n4 + 6n3 +11n2 + 6n + 24
    ⇒ n4 + 6n3 +11n2 + 6n + 24 = 1 + 6 + 11 + 6 + 24 = 48
    For n = 2
    n4 + 6n3 +11n2 + 6n + 24 = 16 + 48 + 44 + 12 + 24
    ⇒ n4 + 6n3 +11n2 + 6n + 24 = 144 , which is divisible by 48.
    Clearly, 48 is the required number.
