Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (A)
LCM of 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75
he given numbers can be written as of 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75
Now ignoring the decimals we find LCM of 25, 50, and 75
5 | 25, 50, 75
5 | 5, 10, 15
| 1, 2, 3
∴ LCM = 1 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 5 = 25 × 6 = 150
LCM = 150.
Similarly we will find out the HCF for 25, 50 and 75.
Since given numbers are not high, we can follow Prime factorization method to get the HCF easily
25 = $5^2$
50 = $2\times5^2$
75 = $3\times5^2$.
As discussed before HCF = $5^2$ = 25.
Now we got LCM = 150 and HCF = 25, now after putting decimal places as per given in the question the LCM = 1.5, and HCF = 0.25.
2) Answer (A)
since given numbers are not high, we can follow Prime factorization method to get the HCF easily
$120 = 2^3 * 3 * 5$
$150 = 2 * 3 * 5^2$
$180 = 2^2 * 3^2 * 5$
In Prime factorization method after converting the numbers into product of prime factors, take the common factors from all the numbers of the least powers.
Therefore HCF is 2 x 3 x 5 = 30
3) Answer (B)
HCF of 1/2 , 3/2 = (HCF of 1 and 3)/(LCM of 2 and 2) = 1/2
4) Answer (D)
Required number
= LCM of 12, 15, 20 and 27 = 540
5) Answer (C)
Let a = hx and b = hy.
h = 7 and x/y = 1.5 = 3/2
So, x = 3 and y = 2
a*b = 21*14 = 294
6) Answer (A)
The pairs of numbers are (1,20), (2,20), (4,20) , (5,20) , (10,20) , (20,20) , (4,5) , (4,10). So, the number of unordered pairs is 8.
7) Answer (A)
Let the two numbers be 5h and 6h where h is the HCF of the numbers. Product of the numbers = Product of LCM and HCF.
=> $30 h^2$ = 120 => h = 2
So, the HCF of the two numbers is 2
8) Answer (E)
Let the numbers be ha and hb. HCF of the numbers = h and LCM of the numbers = hab.
Sum of reciprocals = (a+b)/hab
h(a+b) = 65
h = 5
(a+b) = 13
hab = LCM = 180
So, sum of reciprocals = 13/180
9) Answer (A)
L.C.M of 3,5 and 7 is 105.
Thus, the required number is of the form 105x + 2.
212 is the lowest such number also divisible by 2.
10) Answer (D)
We have learned a formula which says that
LCM*HCF = product of the two numbers.
So 15*x = 150*5
=> x = $\frac{150*5}{15}$ = 50
11) Answer (C)
Let the numbers be 5x and 9x. Now since 5 and nine are co-prime, the HCF of two numbers is x. It is given that HCF is 7, so x = 7.
Thus the required numbers are 35 and 63.
The LCM of 35 and 63 is 7*5*9 = 315
12) Answer (A)
let the second number be x.
We know that LCM*HCF = Product of the two numbers
So 360*15 = x *45
=> x = $\frac{360*15}{45}$
=> x = 120
Now 120 on being divided by 7, leaves a remainder of 1.
13) Answer (D)
From the properties of HCF, we know that
largest number which leaves the same remainder on dividing x, y and z are given by HCF (x-y, y-z, z-x).
Here x = 640, y = 960, z =1120
So the required number is HCF (960-640, 1120-960, 1120-640)
= HCF(320, 160, 480) = 160
So the required number is 160
14) Answer (B)
221 = 17 *13
323 = 17 * 19
391 = 17 * 23
289 = 17 * 17
Hence HCF of the given numbers = 17
15) Answer (C)
LCM of fractions = LCM of the numerators/ HCF of the denominators.
LCM of 2, 4 and 1 is 4
HCF of 3, 7 and 4 is 1
So, the LCM of the given fractions is 4/1 = 4
