The L.C.M. of two numbers is 48. The numbers are in the ratio 2:3 . The sum of the numbers is :
(a) 28 (b) 32 (c)40 (d) 64
Let, numbers are
2x and 3x ,
then
2 x = 2 * x
3 x = 3 * x
LCM ( 2x , 3x ) = 2 * 3 * x = 6 x
48 = 6 x
x = 8
so, sum of numbers= 2x + 3x = 2(8)+3(8) = 40
The sum of two numbers is 192 and their H.C.F is 24. The number of pairs of numbers satisfying the above condition is:
(a) 6 (b)5 (c)4 (d) 2
the H.C.F of numbers is 24
so, let numbers are
24 x and 24 y
then,
24 x + 24 y = 192
24 ( x + y ) = 192
x+ y = 192 / 24
x + y = 8
so, numbers could be
( 1, 7 ),(2,6),(3,5),(4,4)
There are 4 such pairs.
How many numbers between 200 and 600 are divisible by 4 , 5 and 6?
(a) 5 (b) 6 (c)7 (d)8
Let us find the LCM of 4 , 5 , 6
LCM(4,5,6) = 60
so, the numbers between 200 and 600 which are divisible by 60 will be divisible by 4 , 5 , 6 all
numbers divisible by 60 will be
240 , 300 , 360 , 420 , 480 , 540
so, there are 6 numbers between 200 and 600 divisible by 4 , 5 and 6 .
The H.C.F of two numbers is 12 and their difference is 12 . the numbers are
(a) 66 , 78 (b)70 ,82 (c) 94, 106 (d) 84 , 96
H.C.F of two numbers is 12
it means both numbers should be divisible by 12 and their difference should be 12
here,
in the given alternatives
the difference in all is 12
but only in (4) alternative both numbers are divisible by 12.
What is the smallest number which when increased by 3 , is fully divisible by 21 , 25 , 27 and 35
(a) 4735 (b) 4635 (c) 4725 (d) 4722
finding the LCM of 21, 25 , 27 , 35
we will get,
LCM (21,25,27,35) = 4725
subtracting 3 from their LCM we will get,
4725 - 3 = 4722
hence , our answer is 4722.
The GCM of 24 and 36 is
(a) 12 (b)144 (c) 24 (d) 72
GCM = greatest common measure
also known as HCF commonly
so, HCF (24 , 36) = 12 .
