Question Detail

Find the HCF of
\begin{aligned}
2^2 \times 3^2 \times 7^2, 2 \times 3^4 \times 7
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

HCF is Highest common factor, so we need to get the common highest factors among given values. So we got
2 * 3*3 * 7

1. There are three numbers, these are co-prime to each other are such that the product of the first two is 551 and that of the last two is 1073. What will be the sum of three numbers :

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

As given the questions these numbers are co primes, so there is only 1 as their common factor.
It is also given that two products have the middle number in common.
So, middle number = H.C.F. of 551 and 1073 = 29;

So first number is : 551/29 = 19
Third number = 1073/29 = 37

So sum of these numbers is = (19 + 29 + 37) = 85

2. The ratio of two numbers is 3 : 4 and their H.C.F. is 4. Their L.C.M. is

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the numbers be 3x and 4x. Then, their H.C.F. = x. So, x = 4.
So, the numbers 12 and 16.
L.C.M. of 12 and 16 = 48.

3. What will be the LCM of 8, 24, 36 and 54

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

LCM of 8-24-36-54 will be
2*2*2*3*3*3 = 216

4. Reduce \begin{aligned}
\frac{803}{876}
\end{aligned} to the lowest terms.

\begin{aligned} \frac{11}{12} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{23}{24} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{26}{27} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{4}{7} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

HCF of 803 and 876 is 73, Divide both by 73, We get the answer 11/12

5. Find the largest number of four digits which is exactly divisible by 27,18,12,15

9700
9710
9720
9730

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

LCM of 27-18-12-15 is 540.
After dividing 9999 by 540 we get 279 remainder.
So answer will be 9999-279 = 9720
