Divisibility If a number 774958A96B is to be divisible by 8 and 9, the values of A and B, respectively, will be: Using the divisibility rules, For 8, the last three digits have to divisible by 8, therefore the number 774958A96B is divisible by 8 if 96B is divisible by 8. 96B is divisible by 8 if it is 960 or 968 thus B is either 0 or 8. For 9, the sum of the number has to be divisible by 9, therefore (55 + A + B) is divisible by 9 if (A + B) is 8. Now either of A or B could be 8, but the other has to be zero.

73. PERMUTATION The letters of the word WOMAN are written in all possible orders and these words are written out as in a dictionary ,then the rank of the word 'WOMAN' is a. 117b. 120 c. 118 d. 119 5!=120 120/5=24 Since W is the last in rank WOMAN is in the last 24. O is in the last rank of the remaining 4 letters. 24/4 = 6 Therefore WOMAN is in the last 6 in rank. M is between A and N so WOMAN is in rank 117 or 118. A is before N so WOMAN's rank is 117. There are 120 possible arrangements of the letters in WOMAN. Since WOMAN is near the end, I'll list out the ones after WOMAN: WONMA WONAM WOMNA There are only three, so these account for the 118th, 119th, 120th words, and it places WOMAN 117th.

78. distance between trains is 150 km. one train travels 75 km / hr. other train travels 75 km / hr. they will meet when the total distance traveled by both of them is equal to 150 km. rate * time = distance. We know that the time that each train travels will be the same. We let h = the time each train travels. train 1 travels 75 km / hr * h hours. train 2 travels 75km / hr * h hours. the total distance they travel is 150 km. 75 * h + 75 * h = 150 h = 1 They will meet in 1 hour. the bird was flying at 100 km/h. in the same 1 hour the bird flew a total of 100 km. bird flies 50 km in one direction, then travels back 50 km when the trains meet.
