Correct Answer: 37
Explanation:
The number of liters in each can = HCF of 80, 144 and 368 = 16 liters.
Number of cans of Maaza = 368/16 = 23
Number of cans of Pepsi = 80/16 = 5
Number of cans of Sprite = 144/16 = 9
The total number of cans required = 23 + 5 + 9 = 37 cans.
Correct Answer: 12240
Explanation:
LCM of (80, 85, 90) can be found by prime factorizing them.
80 ? 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
85 ? 17 × 5
90 ? 2 × 3 × 3 × 5
L.C.M of (80,85,90) = 2 × 2 x 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 17
= 16 x 9 x 85
= 144 x 85
= 12240
L.C.M of (80,85,90) = 12240.
Correct Answer: 31
Explanation:
To get the least number of coconuts :
LCM = 30 => 30 + 1 = 31
Correct Answer: 1683
Explanation:
L.C.M of 5, 6, 7, 8 = 840
Therefore, Required Number is of the form 840k+3.
Least value of k for which (840k+3) is divisible by 9 is k = 2
Therefore, Required Number = (840 x 2+3)=1683
Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
60 is not a multiple of 8
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
Required Number = H.C.F of (91- 43), (183- 91) and (183-43)
= H.C.F of 48, 92, and 140 = 4
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
LCD is nothing but Lowest or Least Common Denominator
Here LCD of 12 and 18 means LCD of two fractions with denominators 12 and 18 respectively.
Therefore, LCM of 12 & 18 = 6 x 3 x 2 = 36
The lowest common denominator or least common denominator (LCD) is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of a set of fractions.
Correct Answer: 176
Explanation:
99 = 1 x 3 x 3 x 11
101 = 1 x 101
176 = 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 11
182 = 1 x 2 x 7 x 13
So, divisors of 99 are 1, 3, 9, 11, 33, .99
Divisors of 101 are 1 and 101
Divisors of 176 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 44, 88 and 176
Divisors of 182 are 1, 2, 7, 13, 14, 26, 91 and 182.
Hence, 176 has the most number of divisors.
Correct Answer: -19
Explanation:
HCF of 210 and 55 is 5
Now, 210x5 + 55P = 5
=> 1050 + 55P = 5
=> 55P = -1045
=> P = -1045/55
=> P = -19.
