(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)

List-I

List-II

(A) The least number that must be subtracted from 2025 to get a number exactly divisible by 17

(II) 2

(B) The least number that must be added to $1057^5$ to get a number exactly divisible by 23

(IV) 1

(C) Unit digit of $6^{15}-7^4$

(I) 5

(D) Find the product of any number and the 1st whole number

(III) 0

(A) Least number subtracted from 2025 to be divisible by 17

We divide $2025$ by $17$ to find the remainder:

  • $2025 \div 17$:
    • $17 \times 100 = 1700$
    • $2025 - 1700 = 325$
    • $17 \times 19 = 323$
    • Remainder: $325 - 323 = 2$
  • Since the remainder is $2$, we must subtract 2 from $2025$ to make it divisible.
  • Match: (A) $\rightarrow$ (II)

(B) Least number added to 1057 to be divisible by 23

We divide $1057$ by $23$ to find the remainder:

  • $1057 \div 23$:
    • $23 \times 40 = 920$
    • $1057 - 920 = 137$
    • $23 \times 5 = 115$
    • Remainder: $137 - 115 = 22$
  • To find what to add, we subtract the remainder from the divisor: $23 - 22 = 1$.
  • Match: (B) $\rightarrow$ (IV)

(C) Unit digit of $6^{15} - 7^4$

  • Unit digit of $6^{15}$: Any power of $6$ always ends in $6$ (e.g., $6, 36, 216$). So, it is 6.
  • Unit digit of $7^4$: $7^1=7, 7^2=9, 7^3=3, 7^4=1$. So, it is 1.
  • Calculation: $6 - 1 = 5$.
  • Match: (C) $\rightarrow$ (I)

(D) Product of any number and the 1st whole number

  • The first whole number is 0.
  • Any number multiplied by $0$ is always 0.
  • Match: (D) $\rightarrow$ (III)
