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.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Whenever we have to solve this sort of question, remember the formula.
HCF = \begin{aligned} \frac{HCF of Numerators}{LCM of Denominators} \end{aligned}
So answers will be option 1

2. The greatest possible length which can be used to measure exactly the lengths 7 m, 3 m 85 cm, 12 m 95 cm is

  • 16cm
  • 25cm
  • 15cm
  • 35cm

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

So by now, you must be knowing this is a question of HCF, right.
H.C.F. of (700 cm, 385 cm, 1295 cm) = 35 cm.

3. 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}

4. 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 :

  • 80
  • 82
  • 85
  • 87

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

5. 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
