Q 1 - Find L.C.M and H.C.F of 0.63, 1.05 and 2.1.
Answer : D
Explanation
Making the same number of decimal places, the given numbers are 0.63, 1.05 and 2.10. without decimal places, these numbers are 63, 105, and 210 Now, H.C.F of 63, 105 and 210 is 21 so H.C.F of 0.63, 1.05 and 2.1 is 0.21 L.C.M of 63, 105 and 210 is 630 so L.C.M of 0.63, 1.05 and 2.1 is 6.30
Q 2 - What will be the least number which when doubled will be exactly divisible by 12, 18,21 and 30?
Answer : A
Explanation
L.C.M of 12, 18, 21, 30 = 2 x 3 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 5 = 1260. Required number =(1260⁄2) = 630
Q 3 - The least multiple of 7, which leaves a remainder 4, when divided by 6,9,15 and 18 is?
Answer : A
Explanation
L.C.M of 6,9,15 and 18 is 90. Let required number be 90k + 4, which is a multiple of 7. Least value of k for which (90k + 4) is divisible by 7 is k = 4. Therefore Required number 90 x 4 + 4 = 364.
Q 4 - The product of two numbers is 4107. If the H.C.F of these numbers is 37, then the greater number is?
Answer : B
Explanation
Let the numbers be 37a and 37b. then 37a x 37b = 4107 a x b = 3. Now, co-primes with product 3 are (1,3) So, the required numbers are (37 x 1, 37 x 3) i.e. (1, 111) Therefore greater number = 111.
Q 5 - The maximum number of students among them 1001 pens and 910 pencils can be distributed in such a way that each student gets the same number of pens and pencils?
Answer : B
Explanation
Required number of students = H.C.F of 1001 and 910 = 91.
Answer : A
Explanation
2, 3, 5 are the prime numbers and the given expression is 25x26x36x53 (25x66x53). So the total would be the sum of powers in the expression that is 5+6+6+3=20
Q 7 - A milk vendor has three kinds of milk: 68 litres, 119 litres and 153 litres. Find the least number of casks of equal size required to store all the milk without mixing.
Answer : B
Explanation
Size of the cask (G.C.D. of 68,119 and 153) =17 Number of casks =68/17+119/17+153/17=20
Q 8 - The H.C.F and L.C.M of two numbers is 11 and 7700. If one of the numbers is 275, find the other number:
Answer : C
Explanation
Let the other number be x. than , 11 * 7700 = 275 * X ⇒ x = (11* 7700)/275 = 308 Hence, the number is 308.
Q 9 - H.C.F and L.C.F of two numbers x and y are 3 and 105 respectively. If x+y=36 then figure out 1/x + 1/y.
Answer : D
Explanation
We have X *y =3 *105 ⇒ xy = 315 ∴ x+y/xy =36/315 = 4/35 ⇒ 1/y+1/x = 4/35 ⇒ 1/x+1/y = 4/35.
Answer : C
Explanation
210 = 2*3*5*7, 315 =3*5*3*7 , 147 = 7*7*3 , 168 = 2*2*2*3*7 Required number = H.C.F of given numbers= (3*7) =21
