Question Detail

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

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. An electronic device makes a beep after every 60 sec. Another device makes a beep after every 62 sec. They beeped together at 10 a.m. The time when they will next make a beep together at the earliest, is

10:28 am
10:30 am
10:31 am
None of above

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

L.C.M. of 60 and 62 seconds is 1860 seconds
1860/60 = 31 minutes

They will beep together at 10:31 a.m.

Sometimes questions on red lights blinking comes in exam, which can be solved in the same way

3. 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

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 HCF 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 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
