Solution

(a) False

6 is divisible by 3, but not by 9.

(b) True, as 9 = 3 × 3

Therefore, if a number is divisible by 9, then it will also be divisible by

3.

(c) False

30 is divisible by 3 and 6 both, but it is not divisible by 18.

(d) True, as 9 × 10 = 90

Therefore, if a number is divisible by 9 and 10 both, then it will also be divisible by 90.

(e) False

15 and 32 are co-primes and also composite.

(f) False

12 is divisible by 4, but not by 8.

(g) True, as 8 = 2 × 4

Therefore, if a number is divisible by 8, then it will also be divisible by 2 and 4.

(h) True

2 divides 4 and 8 as well as 12. (4 + 8 = 12)

(i) False

2 divides 12, but does not divide 7 and 5.
