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









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    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.

    A number is divisible by 11, if the difference of the sum of its digits at odd places and the sum of its digits of even places, is either 0 or a number divisible by 11.
    ∴  (5 + 9 + * + 7) – (4 + 3 + 8) = 0 or multiple of 11

    Correct Option: D

    A number is divisible by 11, if the difference of the sum of its digits at odd places and the sum of its digits of even places, is either 0 or a number divisible by 11.
    ∴  (5 + 9 + * + 7) – (4 + 3 + 8) = 0 or multiple of 11
    ⇒  21 + * – 15
    ∴  * + 6 = a multiple of 11
    ∴  * = 5

    A number is divisible by 9, if sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
    Let the number be p.
    ⇒  5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + p + 7

    Correct Option: C

    A number is divisible by 9, if sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
    Let the number be p.
    ⇒  5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + p + 7
    ⇒ 21 + p
    ⇒ 21 + 6 = 27, which is divisible by 9.
    ∴  p = 6
    Therefore , the digit in place of * is 6 .
