11. The H.C.F of two numbers is 99 and their LCM is 2772. The numbers are:
  A.  192, 1486
  B.  198, 1286
  C.  194, 1386
  D.  198, 1386
     
   
View Answer

Let the numbers are y and z then,
LCM x HCF = 1st Number x 2nd number
2772 x 99 = y x z
In such types of questions, try to make pair of numbers so that HCF could be 99.
198 and 1389 are the numbers having HCF be 99
∴ LCM =

198 x 1386 / 99
= 2772


12. The HCF of two numbers is
1 / 5
of their LCM. If the product of the two numbers is 720, the HCF is:
  A.  16
  B.  18
  C.  12
  D.  20
     
   
View Answer

LCM = 5HCF
The product of two numbers = LCM x HCF
720 = LCM x HCF
720 = 5HCF x HCF

720 / 2
= (HCF)2 or, (HCF)2 =
720 / 2
(HCF)2 = 144
(HCF)2= (12)2
∴ HCF = 12


13. The LCM of two numbers is 14 times their HCF. The sum of LCM and HCF is 600. If one number is 80, then the other is:
  A.  300
  B.  280
  C.  250
  D.  270
     
   
View Answer

LCM = 14 HCF
since LCM + HCF = 600
or 14 HCF + HCF = 600
or, HCF =

600 / 15
= 40
or, LCM = 14 x 40 = 560
∴ The other number =
HCF x LCM / Given Number

=
560 x 40 / 80
= 280


14. The LCM of two numbers is 39780 and their ratio is 13:15. Then the numbers are:
  A.  2652, 3060
  B.  2552, 3160
  C.  2632, 3040
  D.  2652, 3300
     
   
View Answer

Let the numbers are 13 y and 15y. Hence, y will be their HCF
Now, as per rule, the product of two number = HCF x LCM
13y x 15y = y x 39780
∴ y =

39780 / 13 x 15
= 204


15. What is the greatest number that will exactly divide 1365, 1560 and 1755?
  A.  205
  B.  215
  C.  185
  D.  195
     
   
View Answer

Shortcut:
To find the greatest number that will exactly divide x, y and z will be given by HCF of x, y and z
Using this short cut, we get
HCF of 1365, 1560 and 1755 = 195


16. What is the greatest number that will divide 38, 45 and 52 and leave as remainders 2, 3 and 4 respectively?
  A.  12
  B.  6
  C.  2
  D.  8
     
   
View Answer

Shortcut:
To find the greatest number that will divide x, y and z leaves remainder a,b and c respectively. ∴ Required number = HCF of (x-a), (y-b) and (z - c)
Using the shortcut, we get
HCF of (38-2), (45-3) or (52-4)
or 36, 42 and 48 = 6


17. Find the least number which is exactly divisible by 8, 12, 15 and 21.
  A.  650
  B.  865
  C.  840
  D.  820
     
   
View Answer

Shortcut:
To find the least number which is exactly divisible of x, y and z.
∴ Required number = LCM of x, y and z
Using the shortcut, we get
The required least number = LCM of 8, 12, 15 and 21 = 840


18. Find the greatest number of 4 digits which is divisible by 48, 60 and 64.
  A.  9600
  B.  9400
  C.  9800
  D.  9500
     
   
View Answer

LCM of 48, 60, 64 = 960
The maximum four digit number is 9999
Divide 9999 by 960, we get remainder = 399
∴ 9999 - 399 = 9600


19. What is the smallest number which when increased by 3 is divisible by 27, 35, 25 and 21?
  A.  4744
  B.  4722
  C.  4922
  D.  4766
     
   
View Answer

LCM of 27, 35, 25 and 21 = 4725
∴ the required no. = 4725 - 3 = 4722


20. What is the least number which when lessened by 5 is divisible by 36, 48, 21 and 28?
  A.  1113
  B.  1019
  C.  1013
  D.  1017
     
   
View Answer

LCM of 36, 48, 21 and 28 = 1008
∴ 1008 - 5 = 1013
