Q. 59 Which number is divisible by both 9 and 11?
(A) 10,098
(B) 10,108
(C) 10,089
(D) 10,087
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
If a number is divisible by 9, then the sum of the digits of the number should be divisible by 9.
If a number is divisible by 11, then the difference of sum of the alternate numbers should be divisible by 11. By Trial and Error method,
Option (A)
Sum of the digits of 10,098 = 1 + 0 + 0 + 9 + 8 = 18 which is divisible by 9. So 10,098 is divisible by 9.
Difference of sum of alternate digits = 1 + 0 + 8 – (0 + 9) = 0 which is divisible by 11. So 10,098 is divisible by 11. Hence, the correct answer is Option (A)

Q. 74 If x3—6x2 + ax + b is divisible by (x2—3x + 2), then the values of a and b are:
(A) a = -6 and b = -11
(B) a = -11 and b = 6
(C) a = 11 and b = -6
(D) a = 6 and b = 11
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
x3—6x2 + ax + b (x2—3x + 2)
Given, is divisible by
x3—6x2 + ax + b (x2—3x + 2) x − p
Let the quotient when is divisible by be ⇒ (x2—3x + 2)(x − p) = x3—6x2 + ax + b
⇒ x3 − 3x2 + 2x − px2 + 3px − 2p = x3—6x2 + ax + b ⇒ x3 − (3 + p) x2 + (2 + 3p) x − 2p = x3—6x2 + ax + b Comparing both sides,
− (3 + p) = −6
⇒ p = 3
2 + 3p = a
⇒ 2 + 3 (3) = a
⇒ a = 11
−2p = b
⇒ −2 (3) = b
⇒ b = −6
∴ a = 11 and b = -6
