Rules of Divisibility

Rules of Divisibility

 
2: A number is divisible by 2 if the last digit (unit's digit) is even. e.g. 32, 459992

3: A number is divisible by 3, if the sum of digits of a number is divisible by 3.
    e.g. 252 = 2 + 5 + 2 = 9 ÷ 3 = 3 ∴ 252 is divisible by 3

4: A number is divisible by 4, if the last two digits of the number is divisible by 4.
    e.g. 81924 = since last two digits 24 is divisible by 4, hence the number.

5: A number is divisible by 5, if the last digit of the number is 0 or 5.
    e.g. 35, 200, 1005

6: A number is divisible by 6, if the number is divisible by both 2 and 3.

7: A number is divisible by 7, to check for this follow these steps:

Nutrition in Plants

Q1: Why do organisms need to take food?

Answer: All organisms take food and utilise it to get energy for the growth and maintenance of their bodies.

Q2: Why do plants use the nitrogen present in soil? How is this nitrogen replenished in the soil?

Answer: Plants cannot absorb nitrogen in gas form; they need it in soluble form. Therefore, they use the nitrogen present in soil to prepare proteins.

Atmospheric nitrogen is fixed in soil by nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium,which live in the root nodules of leguminous plants such as gram, peas, beans, etc. In return, the plants provide food and shelter to the bacteria.

   in laying out certain important guidelines that govern decision-making within these societies.
3. Constitution provides safeguards against misuse of authority.

   groups. It helps to prevent tyranny or domination by the majority on a minority.

   adverse effect on the larger principles that the country believes in. A good Constitution does
   not allow these whims to change its basic structure. It does not allow for the easy overthrow of provisions that guarantee rights of citizens and protect their freedom.
