(a) False.

For example &ndash; 6 is divisible by 3, but it is not divisible by 9.

(b) True.

Example- 18, is divisible by 3 as well as 9 so, yes, If a number is divisible by 9, it must be divisible by 3.

(c) False.

If a number is divisible by 3 and 6, it is not neccessory that it is also divisible by 18..

Example &ndash; 42 it is divisible by 6 and 3 but not by 18.

(d) True.

As 9 &times; 10 = 90 So, if a number is divisible by 9 and 10 both, then it must be divisible by 90.

(e) False.

Example &ndash; 15 and 32 are co-prime and composite.

(f) False.

Example &ndash; 20 is divisible by 4 but not by 8. So, its not neccessory that all numbers which are divisible by 4 must also be divisible by 8.

(g) True.

As we know 8 = 2 &times; 4 so all numbers which are divisible by 8 must also be divisible by 2 and 4.

(h) True.

Example &ndash; 3 divides 6 and 9 separatly and 15, which is the sum of 9 and 6. So, if a number exactly divides two numbers separately, it must exactly divide their sum.

(i) False.

Example- 2 divide 12 but it doesn&rsquo;t divide 3 and 9. So, if a number exactly divides the sum of two numbers, its not neccessory that it also divide the two numbers separately.
