- Question
- If the HCF of two positive integers is 26. Then their LCM cannot be?
Options- A. 78
- B. 104
- C. 144
- D. 234
- Correct Answer
- 144
ExplanationLCM of the number is always divisible by the HCF of the same numbers.
So, 78, 104 and 234 are all divisible by 26. Whereas, 144 is not divisible by 26.
Thus, 144 cannot be the LCM of the number whose HCF is 26. - 1. Two numbers A and B are such that the sum of 5% of A and 4% of B is two-third of the sum of 6% of A and 8% of B. Find the ratio of A : B.

Correct Answer: 4 : 3
Explanation:
| 5% of A + 4% of B = | 2 | (6% of A + 8% of B) |
| 3 |
| ⟹ | 5 | A + | 4 | B | = | 2 | ❨ | 6 | A + | 8 | B | ❩ |
| 100 | 100 | 3 | 100 | 100 |
| ⟹ | 1 | A + | 1 | B | = | 1 | A + | 4 | B |
| 20 | 25 | 25 | 75 |
| ⟹ | ❨ | 1 | - | 1 | ❩ A = | ❨ | 4 | - | 1 | ❩ B |
| 20 | 25 | 75 | 25 |
| ⟹ | 1 | A = | 1 | B |
| 100 | 75 |
| A | = | 100 | = | 4 | . |
| B | 75 | 3 |
∴ Required ratio = 4 : 3
Correct Answer: 89 sec
Explanation:
| Speed = | ❨ | 240 | ❩m/sec = 10 m/sec. |
| 24 |
| ∴ Required time = | ❨ | 240 + 650 | ❩sec = 89 sec. |

Correct Answer: Wednesday
Explanation:
17 th June, 1998 = (1997 years + Period from 1.1.1998 to 17.6.1998)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 300 years = (5 x 3) ≡ 1
97 years has 24 leap years + 73 ordinary years.
Number of odd days in 97 years ( 24 x 2 + 73) = 121 = 2 odd days.
Jan. Feb. March April May June (31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 17) = 168 days
∴ 168 days = 24 weeks = 0 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 3.
Given day is Wednesday.

Correct Answer: 64
Explanation:
Let 1872/?N = 234.
Then ?N = 1872/234 = 8
? N = 8 x 8 = 64
Correct Answer: 16 :15
Explanation:
Let distance covered by dog in 1 leap is x and
Distance covered by cat in 1 leap is y
Then, 3x = 4y
? x= 4/3y
Now, Ratio of speed of dog and cat = Ratio of distance covered by them in the same time = 4x : 5y
= 16/3y : 5y
= 16 : 15
Correct Answer: 34%
Explanation:
Total volume of cuboid = (10 x 5 x 2) cm3
= 100 cm3
Volume curved = 1/3 x (22/7) x 3 x 3 x 7 cm3
= 66 cm3
% of wood wasted = (100 - 66)% = 34 %
Correct Answer: 90
Explanation:
Series pattern
12, 32, 52, 72, 92, 112
So missing term = 112 = 121
Correct Answer: 7:30
Explanation:
Angle of 360° is covered by hour hand in 12 h .
So, angle of 135° is covered by hour hand in 12/360° x 135° = 4.5 h
Thus, required time = (3 + 4.5)h = 7.5 h = 7 : 30
