Question Detail

Find the greatest number that will divide 400, 435 and 541 leaving 9, 10 and 14 as remainders respectively

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Answer will be HCF of (400-9, 435-10, 541-14)

HCF of (391, 425, 527) = 17

1. Find the largest number which divides 62,132,237 to leave the same reminder

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Trick is HCF of (237-132), (132-62), (237-62)
= HCF of (70,105,175) = 35

2. 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

3. Find the LCM of \begin{aligned} \frac{2}{3}, \frac{4}{6}, \frac{8}{27} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} \frac{2}{27} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{8}{3} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{2}{3} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{8}{27} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Whenever we have to solve this sort of question, remember the formula.
LCM = \\begin{aligned} \\frac{HCF of Denominators}{LCM of Numerators} \\end{aligned}
So answers will be option 2,
Please also give attention to the difference in formula of HCF and LCM

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

Answer: Option D

5. 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
