Question

“If a number is divisible by 10, it is also divisible by 5.” Is the statement
true? Give reasons.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, the statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a number is divisible by '10', then its units digit should be '0'. Similarly the units digit of a number is 5 or 0, then it is divisible by 5. ∴ The number which is divisible by 10 is also divisible by 5.

Hence the given statement is true.

Answer 2

• Divisibility rule for $10$: It states that any number whose last digit is zero, then the number is divisible by $10$.
• Divisibility rule for $5$: It states that if the digit on the units place, that is, the last digit of a given number is $5$ or $0$ then such a number is divisible by $5$
• According to the question,
• "If a number is divisible by $10$, it is also divisible by $5$."
• The given statement is true
• Because, the divisibility rule for $5$, the last digit of a given number is $5$ or $0$ then such number is divisible by $5$.
• So from the given statement If a number is divisible by $10$, means the last digit of number is $0$.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
