QUESTION: 1

The least number which when divided by 5, 6, 7 and 8 leaves a remainder 3, but when divided by 9 leaves no remainder, is

A.
1677
B.
1683
C.
2523
D.
3363

Solution:

L.C.M of 5, 6, 7, 8 = 840

Therefore, Required Number is of the form 840k+3.

Least value of k for which (840k+3) is divisible by 9 is k = 2

Therefore, Required Number = (840 x 2+3)=1683

A.
124
B.
116
C.

A.
2
B.
4
C.
8
D.
12
E.
None of these

Solution:

HCF (427 – 3, 900 – 8) (424, 892) = 4

QUESTION: 11

What is the HCF of 3/5, 7/10, 2/15, 6/21?

A.
5/123
B.
6/121
C.
2/105
D.
1/210
E.
None of these

Solution:

HCF will be HCF of numerators/LCM of denominators
So HCF = HCF of 3,7,2,6)/(LCM of 5,10, 15, 21)
= 1/210

QUESTION: 12

The HCF and LCM of two numbers is 84 and 840 respectively. If the first number is 168, find the second one.

A.
210
B.
420
C.
225
D.
326
E.
None of these

Solution:

Product of two numbers = HCF * LCM
So 2nd number = 84*840/168

QUESTION: 13

Sum of 2 numbers is 128 and their HCF is 8. How many numbers of pairs of numbers will satisfy this condition?

A.
2
B.
5
C.
3
D.
6
E.
4

Solution:

Since HCF = 8 is highest common factor among those numbers
So, let first no = 8x, 2nd number = 8y
So 8x + 8y = 128
x + y = 16
the co-prime numbers which sum up 16 are (1,15), (3,13), (5,11), and (7,9) *co-prime numbers are those which do no have any factor in common. These pairs are taken here because in HCF highest common factor is taken, so the remaining multiples x and y must have no common factors.
Since there are 4 pairs of co-prime numbers here, there will be 4 pairs of numbers satisfying given conditions. These are (8*1, 8*15), (8*3, 8*13) , (8*5, 8*11) , (8*7, 8*9)

QUESTION: 14

Find the least number exactly divisible by 10, 15, 18 and 30.

A.
85
B.
90
C.
88
D.
93
E.
105

Solution:

It will be the LCM of these numbers.

QUESTION: 15

Find the least number which when divided by15, 21, 24 and 32 leaves the same remainder 2 in each case.

A.
3362
B.
3360
C.
3456
D.
3266
E.
3364

Solution:

It will be the LCM of these numbers + 2
So 3360 + 2

QUESTION: 16

Find the least number which when divided by 10, 15, 18 and 30 leaves remainders 6, 11, 14 and 26 respectively.

A.
72
B.
86
C.
85
D.
90
E.
94

Solution:

Since 10-6 = 4, 15-11 = 4, 18-14 = 4, 30-26 = 4
So answer will be the LCM of these numbers – 4
So 90 – 4

QUESTION: 17

Find the smallest number of 4 digits which is exactly divisible by 12, 15, 21 and 30.

A.
1580
B.
1420
C.
1260
D.
1056
E.
None of these

Solution:

Least 4 digit number = 1000
LCM of (12, 15, 21, 30) = 420
On dividing 420 by 1000, leaves remainder = 160
So answer = 1000 + (420 – 160)

QUESTION: 18

Find the least number which when divided by 2, 5, 9 and 12 leaves a remainder 3 but leaves no remainder when same number is divided by 11.

A.
281
B.
357
C.
360
D.
363
E.
224

Solution:

LCM(2, 5, 9, 12) = 180
So the number will be somewhat = 180x + 3
This number leaves no remainder when divided by 11, so x = 2 to get (180x+3) fully divided by 11
So number = 180*2 + 3

QUESTION: 19

HCF and LCM of two numbers is 5 and 275 respectively and the sum of these two numbers is 80. Find the sum of the reciprocals of these numbers.
