    Question

    When 135 is added to 3A7, the result is 4B2. 4B2 is

    divisible by 3. What is the largest possible value of A?
    A 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    3A7 + 135 = 4B2Ā  Clearly A+1+3 =B or A+4=B So possible values for A & B are: - A = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & B = 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9Ā  & 4B2 is exactly divisible by 3.Ā  Now, 4 + B + 2 = 6+B = multiple of 3Ā  Therefore, B = 6 or 9 is only possible values and accordingly,Ā  Ā A = 2 or 5 is possible value for A, Hence largest possible value of A is 5.
