Question Detail

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.

1. The H.C.F. and L.C.M. of two numbers are 12 and 5040 respectively If one of the numbers is 144, find the other number

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Solve this question by using below formula.
Product of 2 numbers = product of their HCF and LCM

144 * x = 12 * 5040

x = (12*5040)/144 = 420

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

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.

3. If LCM of two number is 693, HCF of two numbers is 11 and one number is 99, then find other

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

For any this type of question, remember
Product of two numbers = Product of their HCF and LCM

So Other number =

$\begin{aligned} \frac{693 \times 11}{99} \end{aligned}$ = 77

4. What will be the LCM of 8, 24, 36 and 54

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

LCM of 8-24-36-54 will be
2*2*2*3*3*3 = 216

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
