1. 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.

2. 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

  • 400
  • 256
  • 120
  • 420

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

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Reduce \begin{aligned}
\frac{368}{575}
\end{aligned} to the lowest terms.

  • \begin{aligned} \frac{30}{25} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{28}{29} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{28}{29} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{16}{25} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We can do it easily by in two steps
Step1: We get the HCF of 368 and 575 which is 23
Step2: Divide both by 23, we will get the answer 16/25
