Correct Answer: 364
Explanation:
L.C.M. of 6, 9, 15 and 18 is 90.
Let required number be 90k + 4, which is multiple of 7.
Least value of k for which (90k + 4) is divisible by 7 is k = 4.
=>Required number = (90 x 4) + 4 = 364.
Correct Answer: -2
Explanation:
H. C. F of two prime numbers is 1. Product of numbers = 1 x 161 = 161.
Let the numbers be a and b . Then , ab= 161.
Now, co-primes with product 161 are (1, 161) and (7, 23).
Since x and y are prime numbers and x >y , we have x=23 and y=7.
Therefore, 3y-x = (3 x 7)-23 = -2
Correct Answer: 1015
Explanation:
Required Number = (L.C.M of 12, 16, 18,21,28)+7
= 1008 + 7
= 1015
Correct Answer: 0.18
Explanation:
Given numbers are 1.08 , 0.36 and 0.90
H.C.F of 108, 36 and 90 is 18 [ G.C.D is nothing but H.C.F]
Therefore, H.C.F of given numbers = 0.18
Correct Answer: 117
Explanation:
H.C.F of co-prime numbers is 1. So, L.C.M = 117/1 =117
Correct Answer: 48
Explanation:
Let the numbers be 3x and 4x . Then their H.C.F = x. So, x=4
Therefore, The numbers are 12 and 16
L.C.M of 12 and 16 = 48
Correct Answer: 77
Explanation:
Product of numbers = 11 x 385 = 4235
Let the numbers be 11a and 11b . Then , 11a x 11b = 4235 => ab = 35
Now, co-primes with product 35 are (1,35) and (5,7)
So, the numbers are ( 11 x 1, 11 x 35) and (11 x 5, 11 x 7)
Since one number lies 75 and 125, the suitable pair is (55,77)
Hence , required number = 77
Correct Answer: 12, 24, 36
Explanation:
Let the required numbers be x, 2x, 3x. Then, their H.C.F =x. so, x= 12
Therefore, The numbers are 12, 24, 36
Correct Answer: 180
Correct Answer: 111
Explanation:
Let the numbers be 37a and 37b. Then , 37a x 37b =4107 => ab = 3.
Now co-primes with product 3 are (1,3)
So, the required numbers are (37 x 1, 37 x 3) i.e, (37,111).
Therefore, Greater number = 111.
