- Question
- If a number is exactly divisible by 11 and 13, which of the following types the number must be?
Options- A. Divisible by (11 + 13)
- B. Divisible by (13 - 11)
- C. Divisible by (11 x 13)
- D. Divisible by (13 ÷ 11)
- Correct Answer
- Divisible by (11 x 13)
ExplanationLCM 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: 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: 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: 23, 46, 69
Explanation:
Let the numbers are N, 2N and 3N.
Where, N = HCF
Given that, N = 23
? The numbers are 23, 46 and 69.
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: 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
Correct Answer: 23
Explanation:
LCM of 5, 6, 4 and 3 = 60
On dividing 2497 by 60, the remainder is 37.
? Number to be added = 60 - 37 = 23
Correct Answer: 149
Explanation:
Given, a = 12, b =16 , c =18, k = 5
According to the formula,
Required number =(LCM of a, b and c) + k
= (LCM Of 12, 16, 18) + 5
LCM of 12, 16, 18 is
? LCM = 2 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 3 = 144
? Required number =144 + 5 = 149
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
The number when divided by 9, 11, 13 leaving remainder 6 = (i.c.m. of 9, 11, 13) + 6 = 1293
Required least number = 1294 - 1293 = 1.
