Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 4 Given: Number = 45x97y Concept Used: A number is divisible by 8 if its last 3 digits are divisible by 8. A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of digits is divisible by 9. Calculations: 45x97y is divisible by 72 ⇒ 97y must be divisible by 8 ⇒ y = 6 ⇒ Number = 45x976 Sum of digits = (4 + 5 + x + 9 + 7 + 6) ⇒ Sum of digits = (31 + x) Number is divisible by 9 ⇒ Sum of digits is divisible by 9 ⇒ x = 5 Now, (2x – y) = 2 × 5 – 6 ⇒ (2x – y) = 4 ∴ The value of (2x – y) is 4. |
