Apply the divisibility rules of 3 and 5. For a number to be divisible be divisible by 5, it should end with 0 or 5. So, subtracting 3 from the number makes it divisible by 5. It is also divisible by 3 then. So, it is divisible by 15.

M-I: 13x = 180 +x
13x -x= 180 or 12x = 180
x= 15
M-II: OTP

Since the unit digit of any number which is ending in 5 to the power of any number will be 5 only. Thus Units place of $(515)^{31}$ as well as $(515)^{90}$ is 5. Since the sum of Units place of total expression is 5 + 5 = 10, thus Zero is the unit’s place of the given expression.

Unit digit in 476 x 198 x 359 x 242
= unit digit in 6 x 8 x 9 x 2 = 4

3 + 9 + K + 2 + 0 = 14 + K
Least value of K is 1

Given number is divisible by 6, if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.
∴The least value of K is 0

HCF of 1/2 , 3/2 = (HCF of 1 and 3)/(LCM of 2 and 2) = 1/2

$10800 = 2^4 * 5^2 * 3^3$
Number of divisors = (4+1) (2+1) (3 + 1) = 60

Since, n ! is always even for n > 1. Therefore, 5 cannot be the unit digit

Number of prime factors
= 11 + 5 + 6 = 22

Required number
= HCF of 321, 428 and 535 = 107

2 is the smallest prime number

We know that $13^2$ > 149
Prime numbers less than 14 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11
Clearly none of the numbers divide 149
Therefore, 149 is a prime number.

Required number = LCM of 12, 15, 20 and 27 = 540

Between 100 and 175 means excluding 100 and 175.
Sum of natural numbers up to 100 (100× 101)/2 = 5050
Sum of natural numbers up to 174 =(174×175)/2=15225
∴ required sum = 15225-5050 = 10175

Remainder when 3475 is divided by 50 is 25.
∴ Least number that should be subtracted =25

Quotient when 800 is divided by 24 is 33.
There are 33 numbers up to 800 divisible by 24

Quotient when 700 is divided by the LCM of 3 and 5 i.e., 15 is 46.
∴There are 46 numbers up to 700
