Q21 / 52 · KVPY 2017 (19 Nov SA) · Mathematics

Consider the set A of natural numbers $n$ whose units digit is nonzero, such that if this units digit is erased, then the resulting number divides $n$. If $K$ is the number of elements in the set $A$, then.

  • A
    K is infinite
  • B
    $K$ is finite but $K>100$
  • C
    $25 \leq \mathrm{K} \leq 100$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $K < 25$

Solution

$\begin{array}{l}\text { Such numbers are }=9 \text { from } 11 \text { to } 19 \end{array}$ 4 i.e. $(22,24,26,28)$ 3 i.e. $(33,36,39)$ 2 i.e. $(44,48)$ 5 i.e. $(55,66,77,88,99)$ $\overline{23}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
