SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level 2022 - 14 March 2022 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q62

 A 9-digit number 4856327xy is divisible by 9 and x - y = 6 What is the value of √4x+2y?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

 The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 6.

According to the question, 

x = 6 + y       ....(1)

So, the sum of the digits

⇒ 4 + 8 + 5 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 7 + (6 + y) + y = 41 + 2y

(41 + 2y) is only divisible for y = 2 for which (41 + 2y) becomes 45 which is divisible by 9.

So, x = 6 + 2 ⇒ x = 8

Now, 4x+2y \sqrt{4x+2y} =  4×8+2×2 \sqrt{4 × 8 + 2 × 2}

⇒ 36 \sqrt{36}  = 6
