Question

The number 2x3456y is divisible by 6. What are the possible value of x and y? Give reasons.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

There can be many answers to this , basically you have to put values in such a way that he no. becomes divisible by 2 and 3

Let us look at y first ,

Possible values of y can be 0,2,4,6,8, because only an even no. is divisible by 2 (  I chose 0 )

Now let us look at x ,

We all know that the sum of the no. should be divisible by 3 , if the no. is divisible by 3

2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 0 + x = 20 + x

Since , 21 is divisible by 3

So , X can be 1
