S2: A number divisible by 3 is also divisible by 6.
S3: A number is divisible by 7, if the last two digits are divisible by 7.
S4: If a number divides the product of two numbers exactly then it must exactly divide the numbers separately.
S5: If a number exactly divides two numbers separately, and after division, if its difference is taken then this difference will also be exactly divisible by that number.

Solution

The correct option is A Only S1 is correct.
A number which is divisible by 10 will have a factor of 5 so for sure it will be divisible by 5.
Secondly, a number divisible by 2 and 3 both will be divisible by 6 and not just 3.
A number which is divisible by 7, we have to remove the last digit, double it, subtract it from the truncated original number and continue doing this until only one digit remains. If this is 0 or 7, then the original number is divisible by 7.
And for the last two cases one can just solve and check and it will be known that the statements written are incorrect.
For example, 24 is divided exactly by 6, 4 × 6 = 24. Now we can see that 6 is exactly divisible by 6 but 4 cannot be exactly divided by 6. Hence the statement is incorrect.

Lastly, 12 is divided by 3 exactly and 6 is also divided by 3 exactly. After division we will get the numbers as 4 and 2, the difference of 4 and 2 is 2, and 2 is not divisible by 3. Hence the statement is incorrect.
