Correct Answer: 45
Explanation:
Let the other number = N
Product of LCM and HCF = Product of two numbers
Then, N x 75 = 15 x 225
? N = (15 x 225)/75 = 45
Correct Answer: 270
Explanation:
HCF of 18 and 15
18 = 2 x 3 x 3
15 = 3 x 15 = 3
LCM of 18 and 15 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 = 90
? Product of HCF and LCM of both numbers = 3 x 90 = 270
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
Required LCM = (LCM of 2, 3, 4, 9) / (HCF of 3, 5, 7, 13)
= (4 x 9)/1
= 36
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: 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: 2/35
Explanation:
We have, m x n = 6 x 210 = 1260
? 1/m + 1/n = (m + n)/mn = 72/1260 = 4/70 = 2/35
Correct Answer: 16
Explanation:
Let numbers are 5N and 6N.
Now, HCF of these two numbers is N.
We know that,
LCM x HCF = Product of two numbers
? 480 x N = 5N x 6N
? 480N = 30N2
? N =16
Correct Answer: Divisible by (11 x 13)
Explanation:
LCM of 11 and 13 will be (11 x 13). Hence, if a number is exactly divisible by 11 x 13, then the same number must be exactly divisible by their LCM or by (11 x 13).
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
Let numbers are 2N and 3N.
According to the question, 6N = 48
? N = 8 ( ? LCM = 6N )
? Required sum = ( 2N + 3N ) = 5N
= 5 x 8 = 40
Correct Answer: 150
Explanation:
Given that, product of two numbers =1500
HCF = 10
According to the formula,
Product of two numbers = HCF x LCM
? 1500 = 10 x LCM
? LCM = 1500/10 =150
