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. 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

2. Find the HCF of
\begin{aligned}
2^2 \times 3^2 \times 7^2, 2 \times 3^4 \times 7
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

HCF is Highest common factor, so we need to get the common highest factors among given values. So we got
2 * 3*3 * 7

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

Answer: Option D

4. HCF of
\begin{aligned}
2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5^2, 2^4 \times 3^4 \times 5^3 \times 11
\end{aligned} is

\begin{aligned} 2^4 \times 3^4 \times 5^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 2^4 \times 3^4 \times 5^3 \times 11 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 2 \times 3 \times 5 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

As in HCF we will choose the minimum common factors among the given.. So answer will be third option

5. Which greatest possible length can be used to measure exactly 15 meter 75 cm, 11 meter 25 cm and 7 meter 65 cm

45cm
255cm
244cm
55cm

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Convert first all terms into cm.
i.e. 1575 cm, 1125cm, 765cm.

Now whenever we need to calculate this type of question, we need to find the HCF. HCF of above terms is 255.
