Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
Let the numbers be 2x and 3x.
So, their LCM = 6x
However, the LCM is given as 48
? 6x = 48
? x=8
So, the numbers are 16 and 24.
Hence, their sum is 40.
Correct Answer: 132
Explanation:
First number = 2 x 44 = 88
Second number = (LCM x HCF ) / First number
? Second number = 44 x 264 / 88 = 132.
Correct Answer: 1110
Explanation:
The number of prime factors in the given product
= (222 + 333 + 555)
= 1110.
Correct Answer: 1263
Explanation:
Required number = (L . C . M of 21, 28, 36, 45 ) + 3
= (1260 + 3 )
= 1263
Correct Answer: 7/9, 5/7, 3/5
Explanation:
7/9, 5/7, 3/5
Correct Answer: 122
Explanation:
Required number = LCM of (12, 15, 20, 24) + 2
= 120 + 2 = 122
Correct Answer: 70a
Explanation:
Required LCM = a x 2 x 5 x 7 = 70a
Correct Answer: 2 x 3
Explanation:
Given factors
2 x 3 x 7 x 9; 2 x 3 x 9 x 11; 2 x 3 x 4 x 5
? Required HCF = Product of common prime factors having least powers = 2 x 3
Correct Answer: 20/3
Explanation:
We known that,
LCM of fractions = (LCM of numerators) / (HCF of denominators)
? Required LCM = (LCM of 1, 2, 5, and 4) / (HCF of 3, 9, 6 and 27)
? = 20/3
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
Required LCM = (LCM of 2, 3, 4, 9) / (HCF of 3, 5, 7, 13)
= (4 x 9)/1
= 36
