If the seven digit number 878p3q4 is divisible by 225, then the values of p and q respectively are?

• A. 9 and 3
• B. 9 and 0
• C. 9 and 5
• D. 8 and 5
• E. 9 and 3

Hint:

225 = \(9 \times 25\) Check divisibility rules separately.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Divisibility by 225 requires divisibility by: \[ 9 \text{ and } 25 \] Last two digits must be: \[ 25, 50, 75, 00 \] Checking conditions gives: \[ p = 9,\ q = 5 \]
