If x and y are the two digits of the number 653xy such that this number is divisible by 80, then x + y = ?
2 or 6
4
4 or 8
8
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:

80 = 2 x 5 x 8

Since 653xy is divisible by 2 and 5 both, so y = 0.

Now, 653x is divisible by 8, so 13x should be divisible by 8.

This happens when x = 6.

x + y = (6 + 0) = 6.

The difference of the squares of two consecutive odd integers is divisible by which of the following integers ?
3
6
7
8
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the two consecutive odd integers be (2n + 1) and (2n + 3). Then,

(2n + 3)2 - (2n + 1)2 = (2n + 3 + 2n + 1) (2n + 3 - 2n - 1)

     = (4n + 4) x 2

     = 8(n + 1), which is divisible by 8.

A number was divided successively in order by 4, 5 and 6. The remainders were respectively 2, 3 and 4. The number is:
214
476
954
1908
Answer: Option
Explanation:
 4 | x            z = 6 x 1 + 4  = 10
 -----------
 5 | y -2         y = 5 x z + 3  = 5 x 10 + 3  = 53
 -----------
 6 | z - 3        x = 4 x y + 2  = 4 x 53 + 2  = 214
 -----------
   | 1 - 4
   
Hence, required number = 214.
