Given $a\times b$=120
a+b=22
Substituting a=$\frac{120}{b}$
We have $\frac{120}{b}$ + b=22
$b^{2}-22b+120$=0
Solving we get b=10,12
LCM of 10 and 12 =60
HCF of 10 and 12 =2
Product of LCM and HCF=120.

Let the number be $a$ and other number = $b=72$

We know that : $H.C.F(a,b)\times L.C.M.(a,b)=a\times b$

=> $a\times72=24\times216$

=> $a=\frac{24\times216}{72}$

=> $a=24\times3=72$

=> Ans – (B)

H.C.F. of the two numbers is 12, let the numbers be $12x$ and $12y$, where $x$ and $y$ are co-prime

Product = $(12x)\times(12y)=2160$

= $xy=\frac{2160}{144}$

=> $xy=15$

Now, factors of 15 = 1, 3, 5, 15

Thus, possible values of $(x,y)=(1,15),(3,5)$

$\therefore$ 2 such pairs are possible.

=> Ans – (B)

LCM of given 3 numbers (30, 36, 80) = 720

Multiple of 720 between 1000 and 2000 is 1440.

$\therefore$ Number which gives a remainder 11 in each case (1440 + 11) = 1451

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

LCM of 12,18,21,32 is 252

Multiples of 252 between 4000 and 5000 are 4032, 4284, 4536, 4788.

4032 is present in the options.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Let the smaller number be $x$ and the larger number = $(x+1146)$

According to ques, on dividing the larger term by smaller one,

=> $(x+1146)=4x+6$

=> $4x-x=1146-6$

=> $3x=1140$

=> $x=\frac{1140}{3}=380$

$\therefore$ Larger number = $380+1146=1526$

=> Ans – (A)

Let the numbers be $x$ and $y$

It is given that $x^2+y^2=23$ ———–(i)

Also, $x+y=7$

Squaring both sides, we get :

=> $x^2+y^2+2xy=49$

=> $23+2xy=49$

=> $2xy=49-23=26$

=> $xy=\frac{26}{2}=13$

$\therefore$ Product of the numbers = 13

=> Ans – (D)

$\frac{5}{12}$, $\frac{15}{14}$, $\frac{25}{21}$
We know that HCF of fractions is given by
$\frac{\textrm{HCF of fractions}}{\textrm{LCM of fractions}}$
So applying this we can calculate the required fraction.
HCF of 5, 15 and 25 is 5.
LCM of 12, 14 and 21 is 4*3*7 = 84
Hence, the required HCF will be $\frac{5}{84}$

HCF of fractions = HCF of the numerators / LCM of the denominators.
All the fractions must be in their empirical form to apply this formula.

The HCF of (3,17,21) is 1.
The LCM of (8,19,23) is 3496.
Therefore, the HCF of the given fractions is 1/3496.
Hence, option D is the right answer.

HCF of fractions = HCF of the numerators / LCM of the denominators.
All the fractions must be in their empirical form to apply this formula.
0.8 = 4/5
0.125 = 1/8
0.625 = 5/8
0.5 = 1/2

The given numbers can be written as 4/5, 1/8, 5/8, 1/2.
HCF of the numerators = 1.
LCM of the denominators (5,8,2) = 40.
Therefore, the HCF of the given numbers will be 1/40 or 0.025.
Therefore, option B is the right answer.

LCM of fractions = LCM of the numerators / HCF of the denominators.
All the fractions must be in their empirical form to apply this formula.
9/27 can be reduced to 1/3.
Therefore, the given fractions are 3/4, 5/8 and 1/3.
LCM of the numerators (3,5,1) is 15.
HCF of the denominators (4,8,3) is 1.
Therefore, the LCM is 15/1 = 15.
Hence, option A is the right answer.

HCF of fractions = HCF of the numerators / LCM of the denominators.
All the fractions must be in their empirical form to apply this formula.

HCF of the numerators (8,12,13) is 1.
LCM of the denominators (3,7,12) is 84.

Therefore, the HCF of the given fractions is 1/84. Hence, option C is the right answer.

HCF of fractions = HCF of the numerators / LCM of the denominators.
All the fractions must be in their empirical form to apply this formula.

6/8 can be written as 3/4.
The given fractions are 2/3, 3/4, 7/12 and 2/5.
HCF of the numerators = 1.
LCM of (3,4,12 and 5) is 60.
Therefore, the HCF of the given fractions is 1/60.
Hence, option B is the right answer.

Let one of the numbers = $x$ and other number = 100

Let L.C.M = $L$ and H.C.F = $H$

According to ques, => $L=4H$ ————–(i)

and $L+H=125$

Substituting value from equation (i), we get : $4H+H=5H=125$

=> $H=\frac{125}{5}=25$

=> $L=4\times25=100$

Thus, product of numbers = $L\times H$

=> $100\times x=100\times25$

=> $x=25$

=> Ans – (B)

HCF of fractions = (HCF of the numerators)/ (LCM of the denominators).

HCF of 7,2,5 and 7 is 1.

LCM of 9, 3, 8 and 12 is 72.
Therefore, the HCF of the given fractions is 1/72.

Option D is the right answer.

(diagram)

so LCM of 64 & 56 is = 8*8*7 = 448

So the answer is option A.

HCF = HCF of numerators/ LCM of denominators

HCF of 1, 2, 3 = 1

LCM of 3, 2, 5 = 30

Hence, $\frac{1}{30}$

Given:-
Numbers- First = 24
Second = x (suppose)
H.C.F. of numbers = 8
L.C.M. of numbers = 48
As we know:
H.C.F.* L.C.M. = Product of numbers
Hence
48*8 = 24*x
x = 16

Let the numbers be 3x, 4x
LCM of 3x and 4x is = 12x
So the number 84 is divisible by 12
$\frac{84}{12}$ = 7
The numbers are 7×3 = 21 , 7x 4 = 28
The greatest number is 28

let’s say numbers are $x$ and $y$
hence sum of the reciprocals will be  $\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y}$
or $\frac{x +y}{xy}$
as $x+y$ = 36 (given)
and $xy$ = $HCF \times LCM$
= $3 \times 105 = 315$
after putting the values we will get summation of reciprocals equals to $\frac{4}{35}$
