P and q are integers that are multiple of 5. Which of this not true about p and q

(a) P + q is divisible by 5

(b) P –q is divisible by 10

(c) P + q is divisible by 20

(d) P + q is divisible by 25

we conclude that the only option (a) is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the multiples of 5 are the numbers which we get when we multiply by 5.

i.e.

5×1=5

5×2=10

Here, 5 and 10 are multiples of 5.

Let p and q are integers that are multiples of 5.

Let us consider

p=5

q=10

so

p+q=5+10

     = 15

A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in 5 or 0.

i.e. 15/5 = 3

so p+q is divisible by 3 as there is no remainder left.

Therefore, option (a) is true.

Checking the other options:

(b) P –q is divisible by 10

As

p=5

q=10

so

p-q=5-10

     = -5

Numbers that are divisible by 10 need to be even or divisible by 2 and divisible by 5.

As -5 is not divisible by 2.

So, option b is NOT true.

(c) P +q is divisible by 20

As

p=5

q=10

so

p-q=5+10

     = 15

Divisibility rule of  20  implies that the last two digits of the number are either  00  or divisible by  20 .

Therefore, P + q= 20 is not divisible by 20 as we don't get the whole number.

(d) P + q is divisible by 25

As

p=5

q=10

so

p-q=5+10

     = 15

p+q=15 is not divisible by 25 as it does not end with 00, 25, 50, or 75.

so, option d is NOT correct.

Therefore, we conclude that the only option (a) is true.
