Study the given statements carefully. State T for true and F for false and select the correct option.
(i) If a number is a factor of each of the given two numbers, then it must be a factor of their difference.
(ii) If a number is divisible by another number, then it must be divisible by each of the factors of that number.
(iii) If a number is divisible by another number, then it is also divisible by all the multiples of that number.
(iv) No prime number other than 2 is even but every odd number is necessarily a prime number.

Solution

The correct option is B (i)(ii)(iii)(iv)TTFF
i) Consider a number a. It is a factor of k1a and k2a, k1k2,k1,k2Z
Difference between the numbers=(k1k2)a which is also divisible by a. So statement i is true.
ii) Let the numbers be a,b. If a is a factor of b, then b=ka,kZ
all the factors, xi of a are of the form, aki so a=ki×xi,b=k×ki×xi There fore all the factors of a are also factors of b. So, statement ii is true.
iii)Let the numbers be a,b. If a is a factor of b, then b=ka,kZ
all the multiples, xi of a are of the form, aki so a=xiki
b=k×xiki
Therefore all the multiples of a might not be factors of b. So, statement iii is false.
iv) All even numbers greater than 2 are divisible by 2. But all odd numbers are not prime numbers. Ex: 9,15 etc. So, statement iv is False.
