-  If the sum of the digits of any number, lying between 100 and 1000 is subtracted from the
 number, then the difference is always divisible by
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Any number between 100 and 1000 may be written as 100m + 10n + K where 0 < m < 
 9, 0 < n < 9 and 0 < K < 9.
 ∴ (100m + 10n + K) – (m + n + K) = 99m + 9n = 9 (11m + n) = multiplie of 9.
 Hence divisible by 9.Correct Option: BAny number between 100 and 1000 may be written as 100m + 10n + K where 0 < m < 
 9, 0 < n < 9 and 0 < K < 9.
 ∴ (100m + 10n + K) – (m + n + K) = 99m + 9n = 9 (11m + n) = multiplie of 9.
 Hence divisible by 9.
-  A certain number on being divided successively by 9, 11 and 13 leaves remainder 8, 9 and 8 respectively. What are the remainders when the same number be divided by reversing the order of divisors?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum We proceed to find the number that is least as mentioned below.  
 x = 13 × 1 + 8 = 21
 y = 11x + 9 = 11 × 21 + 9 = 231 + 9 = 240
 z = 9y + 8 = 9 × 240 = 8 = 2160 + 8 = 2168.
 Now, divide 2168 by 13, 11 and 9. 
 Hence, the remainders are 10, 1 and 6 respectively.
 Remark : To determine the least number, we have taken the last quotient as 1.Correct Option: AWe proceed to find the number that is least as mentioned below.  
 x = 13 × 1 + 8 = 21
 y = 11x + 9 = 11 × 21 + 9 = 231 + 9 = 240
 z = 9y + 8 = 9 × 240 = 8 = 2160 + 8 = 2168.
 Now, divide 2168 by 13, 11 and 9. 
 Hence, the remainders are 10, 1 and 6 respectively.
 Remark : To determine the least number, we have taken the last quotient as 1.
-  A certain number when successively divided by 8 and 11 leaves remainder 3 and 7
 respectively. Find the remainder if the same number is divided by 88.
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum It is to be noted that 88= 8 × 11 
 Here, d1 = 8, d2 = 11, r1 = 3, r2 = 7.
 Where d1, d2 are divisors and r1 and r2 are respective remainders.
 ∴ Required remainder = d1r2 + r1
 = 8 × 7 + 3 = 56 + 3 = 59Correct Option: CIt is to be noted that 88= 8 × 11 
 Here, d1 = 8, d2 = 11, r1 = 3, r2 = 7.
 Where d1, d2 are divisors and r1 and r2 are respective remainders.
 ∴ Required remainder = d1r2 + r1
 = 8 × 7 + 3 = 56 + 3 = 59
-  Find the number of prime factors in the product of 2512 × 107 × 147.

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum We break each base number into prime factors. 
 Now, 2512
 = (5 × 5)12 = 512 × 512
 107 = (2 × 5)7 = 27 × 57
 and , 147 = (2 × 7)7 = 27 × 77
 ∴ 2512 × 107 × 147 = 512 × 512 × 27 × 57 × 27 × 77
 = 512 + 12 + 7 × 27 + 7 × 77 = 531 × 214 × 77
 ∴ Number of prime factors = 31 + 14 + 7 = 52Correct Option: BWe break each base number into prime factors. 
 Now, 2512
