Q 1 - Compute H.C.F of (22* 23*5*74), (23*32*52*73) and (22*53*75).
Answer - B
Explanation
Prime numbers which are common to all the given numbers are 2,5 ,7. ∴ H.C.F = (22*5*73)= (4*5*343) = 6860
Answer - A
Explanation
108 = (22*33) , 360 = (23*32*5) and 600 = (23*52*3) ∴ H.C.F = (22* 3) = (4* 3)=12
Answer - A
Explanation
Remainder of 185/148 = 37 Remainder of 148/37 = 0 ∴ H.C.F. = 37
Answer - B
Explanation
Remainder of 1190/204 = 170 Remainder of 204/170 = 34 Remainder of 170/34 = 0 ∴ H.C.F. of 204, 1190 = 34 Remainder of 1145/34 = 17 Remainder of 34/17 = 0 ∴ H.C.F. of 204, 1190 and 1145 = 17
Answer - C
Explanation
First we find the H.C.F of 391 and 667. Remainder of 667/391 = 276 Remainder of 391/276 =115 Remainder of 276/115 = 46 Remainder of 115/46 = 23 Remainder of 46/23= 0 ∴ H.C.F. of 391, 667 = 23 ∴ 391/667 =( 391/23)/ (667/23)= 17/29
Q 6 - Find the L.C.M of (22*32*5*7) , (2³*3*52*72) and (2*3*7*11).
Answer - A
Explanation
We have L.C.M = product of terms containing highest powers of (2,3,5,7,11) = (2³* 32* 52*72*11) = (8*9*25*11*49)= 970200
Answer - D
Explanation
15 = 3 * 5 18 = 2* 3 * 3 = 2 * 3 2 24 = 2 *2 * 2 * 3 = 2 3 * 3 27 = 3 * 3 * 3 = 3 3 56 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 7= 2 3 * 7 L.C.M = product of terms containing highest powers of (2,3,5,7) =2 3 * 3 3 * 5 * 7 = 7560
Answer - D
Explanation
H.C.F of 2,8,10,16 = 2 L.C.M of 3,9,27,81 = 81 H.C.f = H.C.F of 2,8,10,16/L.C.M of 3,9,27,81 = 2/81 L.C.M = L.C.M of 2,8,10,16/H.C.F of 3,9, 27,81 = 80/3
Q 9 - Two numbers are in the ratio 8:11 . Considering their H.C.f as 6, find the numbers.
Answer - B
Explanation
Let the numbers be 8x and 11 x. then, their H.C.F = x So, the numbers are (8*6), (11*6) i.e 48 and 66.
Q 10 - Given the H.C. F of two numbers as 7 and their L.C.M as 210. If one of the numbers is 35, find the other.
Answer - B
Explanation
Let the Other number be X. then, Product of numbers = product of their H.C .F and L.C.M 35*x= 7* 210 ⇒ x= 7*210/35 = 42 Hence, the other number is 42.
Q 11 - Three big drums contain 36 liters, 45 liters and 72 liters of oil. What is the biggest measure which can measure all the different quantities exactly?
Answer - A
Explanation
Required measure = H.C.F of 36 L, 45 L, and 72 L = (32) liters = 9 liters [As 36 = 22*32, 45 = 32*5 and 72 = 24* 34]
Q 12 - Four electronic devices make a beep after duration of 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3/2 hours and 1 hour 45 min. respectively. If all the devices beeped together at 12 noon at what time will they beep together again?
Answer - A
Explanation
Intervals of beeping 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 105 min. Interval of beeping together= L.C.M of 30 min. 60 min. 90 min. 105 min = (3*5*2*2*3*7) min. = 1260 min = 21 hrs. So, they will beep together again next morning at 9 am.
Q 13 - Find the largest number which can exactly divide 513, 783 and 1107.
Answer - B
Explanation
Remainder of 783/513 = 270 Remainder of 513/270 =243 Remainder of 270/243 = 27 Remainder of 243/27 = 0 Remainder of 46/23= 0 ∴ H.C.F. of 513, 783 = 23 Remainder of 1107/23 = 0 ∴ H.C.F. of 513, 783 and 1107= 23
Q 14 - Find the smallest number which is exactly divisible by each one of the numbers 12, 15, 20 and 27.
Answer - A
Explanation
Required no. = L.C.M of 12,15, 20 and 27 = (3*2*2*5*9) = 540
Q 15 - Find the least number which if divided by 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 leaves the same remainder 2 in each case.
Answer - A
Explanation
Required number = (L.C.M of 6,7,8,9,12)+2 = (2*3*2*7*2*3)+ 2 = (504+2)= 506.
