This is a simple division series. Each number is divided by 5. Rule = (1st number / 5 = 2nd number) (2nd number / 5 = 3rd number)....Now, (1000 / 5 = 200), (200 / 5 = 40), (40 / 5 = 8)...So answer is a = 8.
Let 'N' is the smallest number which divided by 13 and 16 leaves respective remainders of 2 and 5.Required number = (LCM of 13 and 16) - (common difference of divisors and remainders) = (208) - (11) = 197.
Since the number is greater than the number obtained on reversing the digits, so the ten's digit is greater than the unit's digit.Let the ten's and unit's digits be 2x and x respectively.Then, (10 * 2x + x) - (10x + 2x) = 369x = 36x = 4Required difference = (2x + x) - (2x - x) = 2x = 8.
132 = 11 * 3 * 4Clearly, 968 is not divisible by 3None of 462 and 2178 is divisible by 4And, 5284 is not divisible by 11Each one of the remaining four numbers is divisible by each one of 4, 3 and 11.So, there are 4 such numbers.
