Correct Answer: 80
Explanation:
Product of two numbers = LCM of two numbers x HCF of two numbers.
? N x 32 = 160 x 16
? N = 80
Correct Answer: 36, 60
Explanation:
Let the number be 12a and 12b
Then 12a x 12b = 2160
or ab = 15
? Values of co-primes a and b are (1, 15), (3, 5)
So, the two digit number are 12 x 3 and 12 x 5 i.e. 36 and 60 .
Correct Answer: 27, 189
Explanation:
Let the number be 27a and 27b
Then, 27a + 27b = 216
or a + b = 216/27 = 8
? Values of co-primes with sum 8 are (1, 7) and (3, 5)
So, the number are (27 x 1 , 27 x 7) i.e. (27, 189)
Correct Answer: 35 cm
Explanation:
Required length = H.C.F of 700, 385, 1295 cm
= 35 cm.
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
Find the H.C.F. of 84 and 180, which is 12 and this is the required answer .
Correct Answer: No such pair exists
Explanation:
H.C.F. of two numbers divides their L.C.M. exactly. Since 16 is not a factor of 136, it states that there does not exist any pair of numbers with H,C.F. 16 and L.C.M. 136.
Correct Answer: 995
Explanation:
Here (16 - 3) = 13,
(18 - 5) = 13 and
(21 - 8 ) = 13
So, required number = (L . C . M of 16, 18, 21) - 13
= (1008 - 13)
= 995
Correct Answer: 9828
Explanation:
Required number is divisible by the L . C . M of 12, 18, 21, 28 i.e 252.
Now, greatest number of four digits = 9999
On dividing 9999 by 252, the remainder is 171
? Required number = (9999 - 171) = 9828.
Correct Answer: 1897
Explanation:
Required Number = (LCM of 15, 27, 35 and 42) + 7
= 1890 + 7
= 1897
Correct Answer: 9.60 m
Explanation:
Required length = L. C . M of (64, 80, 96) cm
= 960 cm
= 9.60 m.
