If 27x is a multiple of 3 and x is a digit then find the value of x.
Sum of the digits of 27x
= 2 + 7 + x
= 9 + x
Since, 27x is a multiple of 3
∴ (9 + x) is divisible by 3. 9 + x must be equal to 9 or 12 or 15
When 9 + x = 9 x = 0
When 9 + x = 12 x = 3
When 9 + x = 15 x = 6
When 9 + x = 18 x = 9
When 9 + x = 21 x = 0 (∵ x is a digit)
The x can equal to 0, 3, 6 or 9.
Write the following numbers in usual form:
(i) 7 x 100 + 10 x 5 + 9 x 1 (ii) 4 x 100 + 10 x 0 + 7 x 1
