Number System
A number consists of two digits. If the digits interchange places and the new number is added to the original number, then the resulting number will be divisible by:
Let the ten's digit be x and unit's digit be y. Then, number 10x + y.Number obtained by interchanging the digits = 10y + x.(10x + y) + (10y + x) = 11(x + y)which is divisible by 11.
Let the digits be x and yTherefore, x + y = 12 .............(1)(10y + x) - (10x + y) Therefore, y - x = 4............. (2)Solving (1) and (2), y = 8 Therefore, x = 4There are two possible numbers 48 and 84. So the lowest no. is 48.
This is a simple division series. Each number is divided by 5. Rule = (1st number / 5 = 2nd number) (2nd number / 5 = 3rd number)....Now, (1000 / 5 = 200), (200 / 5 = 40), (40 / 5 = 8)...So answer is a = 8.
