## RD Sharma Solutions Class 6 Chapter 2 Exercise 2.12

#### Objective type questions

Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

1.) Which of the following numbers is a perfect number?

(a) 4 (b) 12 (c) 8 (d) 6

Sol:

(d) 6

A number for which the sum of all its factors is equal to twice the number is called a perfect number. Factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6.

Sum of the factors of 6 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 12 = 2 x 6 Hence, 6 is a perfect number.

2.) Which of the following are not twin-primes?

(a) 3, 5 (b) 5, 7 (c) 11, 13 (d) 17, 23

Sol:

(d) 17, 23

Pairs of prime numbers that differ by 2 are called twin primes. The difference between 17 and 23 is 6. Hence, 17 and 23 are not twin primes.

3.) Which of the following are co-primes?

(a) 8, 10 (b) 9, 10 (c) 6, 8 (d) 15, 18

Sol:

(b) 9, 10

9 = 3 x 3 x1

10 = 2 x 5 x1

Though both 9 and 10 are composite numbers, the only factor common to them is 1.

Therefore, 9 and 10 are co-primes.

4.) Which of the following is a prime number?

a.) 263 (b) 361 (c) 323 (d) 324

Sol:

(a) 263

23 = 1 x 263

The number 262 has only two factors, 1 and 263.

Hence, it is a prime number.

5.) The number of primes between 90 and 100 is

a.) 0 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) 3

Sol:

(b) 1

There is only one prime number between 90 and 100, i.e. 97.

6.) Which of the following numbers is a perfect number?

a.) 16 (b) 8 (c) 24 (d) 28

Sol:

(d) 28

A number for which the sum of all its factors is equal to twice the number is called a perfect number.

Factors of 28 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14 and 28.

Sum of factors of 28 = 1 +2 +4 +7 +14 +28 = 56 = 2 x 28

Hence, 28 is a perfect number.

7.) Which of the following is a prime number?

a.) 203 (b) 139 (c) 115 (d) 161

Sol:

(b) 139

139 = 1 x 139

The number 139 has only two factors, 1 and 139

Hence, it is a prime number.

8.) The total number of even prime numbers is

a.) 0 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) unlimited

Sol:

(b) 1

There is only one even number that is prime, i.e. 2.

9.) Which of the following is a prime number?

a) 161

b) 221

c) 373

d) 437

Sol:

(c) 373

373 = 1 x 373

The number 373 has only two factors 1 and 373.

Hence, it is a prime number.

10.) The least prime is

a) 1

b) 2

c) 3

d) 2

Sol:

(b) 2

2 is the least number. It is the only even prime number.

11.) Which one of the following numbers is divisible by 3?

a) 27326

b) 42356

c) 73545

d) 45326

Sol:

(c ) 73, 545

Sum of the digits in 73, 545 = 7+ 3 +5 +4+ 5 = 24

Since 24 is divisible by 3, 73545 is divisible by 3.

12.) Which one of the following numbers is divisible by 4?

a.) 8675231

b.) 9843212

c.)1234567

d.) 543123

Sol:

(b) 98, 43, 212

Here, the number formed by the last two digits is 12, which is divisible by 4.

Therefore, 98, 43, 212 is divisible by 4.

13.) Which one of the following numbers is divisible by 6?

a.) 7908432

b.) 68719402

c.) 45982014

d.)

(a) 79, 08, 432 and (c) 4,59,82,014

A number divisible by 6 must also be divisible by 3 and 2 as 6 is a multiple of 3 and 2.

In 79, 08, 432, the sum of the digits = 7 + 9 + 0 + 8 + 4 + 3 + 2 = 33 Since 33 is a multiple of 3, this number is divisible by 3. Also, since the last digit is 2, it is also divisible by 2. Therefore, 79,08,432 is divisible by 6.

In number 4, 59, 82,014, the sum of the digits = 4 + 5 + 9 + 8 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 4 = 33. Since 33 is a multiple of 3, this number is divisible by 3. Also, since the last digit is 4, it is also divisible by 2. So, 4,59,82,014 is also divisible by 6.

14.) Which one of the following numbers is divisible by 8?

a.) 87653234

b.) 78956042

c.) 64298602

d.) 98741032

Sol:

(d) 98741032

In 98741032the number formed by the last three digits is 032, which is also divisible by 8.

Hence, 98741032 is divisible by 8.

15.) Which of the following numbers is divisible by 9?

a.) 9076185

b.) 92106345

c.) 10349576

d.) 95103476

Sol:

(a) 90, 76, 185

In 90, 76,185:

Sum of the digits = 9 + 0 + 7 + 6 + 1 + 8 + 5 = 36

Since 36 is divisible by 9, 90, 76, 185 is divisible by 9.
