Solutions
Given:
7-digit number 51032kk is divisible by 12
Concept used:
Divisibility rule for 3 = A number is completely divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
Divisibility rule for 4 = If the last two digits of a number are divisible by 4, the number is divisible by 4
Calculation:
12 = 4 × 3
According to the concept,
Possible values of k = 0, 4, 8
5103200, 5103244, 510388 all are divisible by 4 as their last 2 digits are divisible by 4
Now,
5 + 1 + 0 + 3 + 2 + k + k = 11 + 2k should also be divisible by 3
For k = 0
11 + 0 = 11 not divisible by 3
For k = 4
11 + 8 = 19 not divisible by 3
For k = 8
11 + 16 = 27 divisible by 3
∴ Requird value of k is 8.
