(b)
Let the digits be x, y and z at hundreds, tens and units
1. (d)
place respectively.
By Taking x = 1 & y = 3, we find that x + y + 2xy will be a x = 2z
even number. x + y + z = 18
Also, 100x + 10y + z – 100z – 10y – x = 396
2. (a) 99x – 99z = 396
If n3 is odd, so ‘n’ must be odd. Also n2 will be odd x–z=4
So, (I) & (II) must be true. 2z – z = 4
z=4
3. (d) x=8
(x + y)x = (0 + 0) × 0 = even y = 18 – (4 + 8) = 6
(x + y)z = (0 + e) × 0 = even x–y=8–6=2
(x + z)x3 = (0 + e) × 03 = odd
(x + z)3x = (0 + e)3 × 0 = odd 10.(a)

121 is a multiple of 11, 78 is a multiple of 2, while 171
is a multiple of 3.
12.(c)
5. (a ) 37 3 34 17
We see that 16 = 11 + 5, 9 = 2 + 7, 5 = 2 + 3, 12 = 5 + 7 90 90 45
So, 16, 9, 12 and 5 can all be written as the sum of two
prime numbers.

Every prime number will leave a remainder 1 or 5 47 47 517 470 987

7. (a) 14.(c)
Let the two number be x and y There are 20 4’s in the first 100 numbers.
According to question
15.(b)
(10x + y) + (10y + x) = 11(x + y)
In number from 1 to 399 there are 19 4 = 76 numbers
We can clearly see that and from 400 to 500 there are 100 numbers in which the
Number will be exactly divisible by 11. digit 4 comes at any place.
So required answer is 11.

8. (b) 1.1(d)
Let the digits be a and b such that the number is 10a xyz2 = 0 × 0 × 02 = odd
+ b. (x – y)2z = (0 – 0)2 × 0 = even
ab = 14 and 10a + b + 45 = 10b + a (x + y – z)2 (x + y) = (0 + 0 – 0)2 (0 + 0) = even
i.e., 9a – 9b = –45 (x – y) (y + x) (x + y – z) = (0 – 0) (0 + 0) (0 + 0 – 0)
i.e., a – b = –5 = even
(a + b)2 = (a – b)2 + 4ab = 25 + 4(14) = 81
a+b=9
1.2(d)
x2y2z2 = 02 × 02 × 02 = odd
a = 2, b = 7
3(x3 + y3)z2 = 3(03 + 03)02 = even
The number is 27.
5x + y + z4 = (5 × 0) + 0 + 04 = odd

1.3(a) =
P4 13
X – Y – Z = even
So, P1 = 5
e – (Y + Z) = even
Alternate Method:
So, (Y + Z) must be even
Since 385 is divisible by 5 but not by 3. So, the
So, Y, Z = both odd or both even
smallest prime number must be 5
Now, Y – Z – W = odd
if Y, Z are both are odd or both are even TYPE - 3:
then Y – Z = even 3.1(a)
(10x + y) – (10y + x) = 27
Hence, W = odd
9x – 9y = 27
1.4(d) x–y=3
a + b + c = even So, possible values of (x, y) are
possibilities are: (1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6), (4, 7), (5, 8) & (6, 9)
Case I: a, b, c = even apart from 14 the numbers are
Case II: any two of the numbers are odd and one is even. 25, 36, 47, 58 and 69
