A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by 3 and 4

For divisible by 4, last two digits i.e. 7y should be divisible by 4.
So, possible value of y = 2, 6
For divisible by 3, 1+8+6+0+1+x+5+7+y = (28+x+y) should be divisible by 3
So, when y = 2, x = 0, 3, 6, 9
when y = 6, x = 2, 5, 8
From option (1), we conclude x = 2, y = 6

50)

6x–y = 36 = 62 and 3x+y = 729 = 36

x – y = 2 .........(1)

∠C = ∠P .......(2) (given)
∠B = ∠Q .......(3) (given)
From (1), (2), (3) we have ∠Q = ∠P
So both triangles are isosceles but not congruent.

Let a = 2x and b = 3x
2x + 3x + 90° = 180° [Linear Pair Angles]
2x + 3x = 90°

x2 = 2500
x = 50
Perimeter of plot = 50 + 50 + 50 = (100 + 50 ) m
Cost of fencing = 3 × (100 + 50 ) = Rs. 512.132
So cost of fencing more than Rs. 500
