Question Detail

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

  • 48
  • 22
  • 56
  • 27

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.

1. Which greatest possible length can be used to measure exactly 15 meter 75 cm, 11 meter 25 cm and 7 meter 65 cm

  • 45cm
  • 255cm
  • 244cm
  • 55cm

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Convert first all terms into cm.
i.e. 1575 cm, 1125cm, 765cm.

Now whenever we need to calculate this type of question, we need to find the HCF. HCF of above terms is 255.

2. Find the HCF of 54, 288, 360

  • 18
  • 36
  • 54
  • 108

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Lets solve this question by factorization method.

\begin{aligned}
18 = 2 \times 3^2, 288 = 2^5 \times 3^2, 360 = 2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5
\end{aligned}

So HCF will be minimum term present in all three, i.e.
\begin{aligned}
2 \times 3^2 = 18
\end{aligned}

3. Reduce \begin{aligned}
\frac{368}{575}
\end{aligned} to the lowest terms.

  • \begin{aligned} \frac{30}{25} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{28}{29} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{28}{29} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{16}{25} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We can do it easily by in two steps
Step1: We get the HCF of 368 and 575 which is 23
Step2: Divide both by 23, we will get the answer 16/25

4. HCF of
\begin{aligned}
2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5^2, 2^4 \times 3^4 \times 5^3 \times 11
\end{aligned} is

  • \begin{aligned} 2^4 \times 3^4 \times 5^3 \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} 2^4 \times 3^4 \times 5^3 \times 11 \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} 2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5^2 \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} 2 \times 3 \times 5 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

As in HCF we will choose the minimum common factors among the given.. So answer will be third option

5. LCM of two numbers is 7700 and HCF is 11. If one number is 308 then other number is

  • 269
  • 285
  • 300
  • 275

Answer: Option D
