The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to determine if a number that is divisible by two numbers \( x \) and \( y \) is also divisible by their product \( x \times y \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Assume a Number**: Let's assume a number, say \( 48 \). 2. **Choose Values for \( x \) and \( y \)**: Let's take \( x = 4 \) and \( y = 8 \). 3. **Check Divisibility by \( x \)**: - Calculate \( 48 \div 4 \). - \( 48 \div 4 = 12 \) (which is an integer). - Therefore, \( 48 \) is divisible by \( 4 \). 4. **Check Divisibility by \( y \)**: - Calculate \( 48 \div 8 \). - \( 48 \div 8 = 6 \) (which is also an integer). - Therefore, \( 48 \) is divisible by \( 8 \). 5. **Calculate the Product \( x \times y \)**: - Calculate \( 4 \times 8 \). - \( 4 \times 8 = 32 \). 6. **Check Divisibility by \( x \times y \)**: - Now, check if \( 48 \) is divisible by \( 32 \). - Calculate \( 48 \div 32 \). - \( 48 \div 32 = 1.5 \) (which is not an integer). - Therefore, \( 48 \) is **not** divisible by \( 32 \). 7. **Conclusion**: Since \( 48 \) is divisible by both \( 4 \) and \( 8 \), but not by their product \( 32 \), we conclude that a number can be divisible by two numbers \( x \) and \( y \) but not necessarily by their product \( x \times y \). ### Final Answer: A number that is divisible by two numbers \( x \) and \( y \) is **not necessarily divisible** by their product \( x \times y \). ---
