Maths

This document contains math word problems and their solutions related to prime numbers, factors, and divisibility. It examines whether statements are true or false about sums and products being even or odd. It also finds pairs of prime numbers with the same digits, expresses numbers as the sum of two odd primes, and determines which numbers are prime. Other problems involve finding the common factor of two numbers, what other numbers a number is divisible by if divisible by a certain number, and writing true or false statements about divisibility.

EX-3.2

2)State whether the following statements are True or False


Solution-
(а) False [∵ 3 + 5 + 7 = 15 (odd)]
(b) True [∵ 3 + 5 + 6 = 14 (even)]
(c) True [∵ 5 x 7 x 9 = 315 (odd)]
(d) False [∵ 6 + 2 = 3 (odd)]
(e) False [∵ 2 is a prime number but it is even]
(f) False [∵ 3 is a prime number having 1 and 3 as its factors]
(g) False [∵ 7 + 2 = 9 (odd)]
(h) True [∵ 2 is even and the lowest prime number]
(i) False [∵ 2 is even but not composite number]
(j) True [∵ 4 x 6 = 24 (even)]

3)The numbers 13 and 31 are prime numbers. Both these numbers have same
digits 1and 3. Find such pairs of prime numbers up to 100.

Solution-
The required pair of prime numbers having same digits are:
(17 and 71), (37 and 73), (79 and 97).

6. Express the following as the sum of two odd primes.


(a) 44 (b) 36 (c) 24 (d) 18

Solution-
a) 44 = 13 + 31
(b) 36 = 17 + 19
(c) 24 = 7 + 17
(d) 18 = 7 + 11

8. Which of the following numbers are prime?


(a) 23 (b) 51 (c) 37 (d) 26

Solution-
a) 23 is a prime number [ ∵ 23 = 1 x 23]
(b) 51 is not a prime number [∵ 51 = 1 x 3 x 17]
(c) 37 is a prime number [∵ 37 = 1 x 37]
(d) 26 is not a prime number [∵ 26 = 1 x 2 x 13]

Ex-3.4
6.A number is divisible by both 5 and 12. By which other number will that
number be always divisible?

Solutions:

Factors of 5 are 1, 5

Factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

Their common factor = 1

Since, their common factor is 1. The given two numbers are co-prime and is
also divisible by their product 60

Factors of 60 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60

7. A number is divisible by 12. By what other numbers will that number be


divisible?

Solutions:

Since, the number is divisible by 12. Hence, it also divisible by its factors i.e 1,
2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Therefore 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 are the numbers other than 12 by which this number is
also divisible

Ex-3.5
1)Write True or False

a) False, 6 is divisible by 3 but is not divisible by 9

(b) True, as 9 = 3 × 3. Hence, if a number is divisible by 9, it will also be


divisible by 3

(c) False. Since 30 is divisible by both 3 and 6 but is not divisible by 18

(d) True, as 9 × 10 = 90. Hence, if a number is divisible by both 9 and 10 then it


is divisible by 90

(e) False. Since 15 and 32 are co-primes and also composite numbers

(f) False, as 12 is divisible by 4 but is not divisible by 8

(g) True, as 2 × 4 = 8. Hence, if a number is divisible by 8, it will also be


divisible by 2 and 4

(h) True, as 2 divides 4 and 8 and it also divides 12 (4 + 8 = 12)

(i)False, since, 2 divides 12 but it does not divide 7 and 5.

4)
a)

b)

3)Which factors are not included in the prime factorisation of a composite


number?

1 and the number itself are not included in the prime factorisation of a
composite number.
