Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (A)

Let x be the second number,

LCM*HCF = Product of two numbers

72*12 = 36*x

x = 24

So the answer is option A.

2) Answer (C)

LCM*HCF = 675

(45)*HCF = 675

HCF = 675/45 = 15

So the answer is option C.

3) Answer (B)

Here 392 = 2*196, Hence LCM is 392 and HCF is 196

So the answer is option B.

4) Answer (B)

2/3 , 3/6, 4/12 = 2/3 , 1/2 , 1/3

LCM of fractions = (LCM of numerators)/(HCF of denominators) = (LCM of 2, 1, 1)/(HCF of 3,2,3) = 2/1 = 2

So the answer is option B.

5) Answer (C)

Two numbers have their HCF as 9 and they are in the ratio 3:4

Those numbers are 3*9=27 and 4*9=36

LCM of 27 and 36 is 108.

So the answer is option C.

6) Answer (D)

LCM of fractions = LCM of numerators/HCF of denominators

LCM of 7/2, 9/4 and 5/3 = (LCM of 7,9,5)/(HCF of 2,4,3) = 315/1 = 315

So the answer is option A.

7) Answer (D)

LCM of 24 and 48 = 48

HCF of 24 and 48 = 24

Difference = 24

So the answer is option D.

8) Answer (D)

LCM*HCF = product of two numbers

(38)*HCF = 266

HCF = 7

So the answer is option D.

9) Answer (A)

LCM*HCF = Product of numbers

LCM*12 = 864

LCM = 72

So the answer is option A.

10) Answer (C)

12 = 2*2*3

24 = 2*2*2*3

36 = 2*2*3*3

30 = 2*3*5

HCF = product of common factors = 2*3 = 6

So the answer is option C.

11) Answer (D)

Product of LCM & HCF of two numbers = product of those two numbers = 48*72 = 3456

So the answer is option D.

12) Answer (A)

HCF of fractions = (HCF of numerators)/(LCM of denominators) = (HCF of 3,4,5)/(LCM of 2,3,4) = 1/12

So the answer is option A.

13) Answer (B)

It is important to note that $x{36} = x^{24} \times x^{12}$.
Therefore, $x^{36}$ divides $x^{24}$
Similarly, $x^{36}$ divides $x^{18}$
Hence, $x^{36}$ divides both $x^{24}$ and $x^{18}$
Therefore, the LCM of $x^{18}, x^{24}$ and $x^{36}$ is $x^{36}$

14) Answer (A)

$36 = 2^2 * 3^2$
$72 = 2^3 * 3^2$
$108 = 2^2 * 3^3$
So, the LCM of the three numbers is $2^3 * 3^3$ = 8 * 27 = 216

15) Answer (B)

Let the numbers be x and 81-x.
LCM * HCF = 450 = x*(81-x)
=> $x^2 – 81x + 450 = 0$
So, x = 6 or 75

So, the sum of the reciprocals of the two numbers is 1/6 + 1/75 = (25+2)/150 = 27/150 = 9/50

16) Answer (A)

Let the two numbers be 7k and 5k.
LCM of 7 and 5 is 35. So, the LCM of the two numbers is 35k.
35k = 105 => k = 3
So, the two numbers are 7*3 = 21 and 5*3 = 15
The sum of the two numbers is 21+15 = 36

17) Answer (D)

The HCF of fractions is equal to HCF of numerators/LCM of denominators.
HCF of numerators = HCF of 1, 5, 8 and 3 = 1
LCM of numerators = LCM of 2, 7, 11 and 4 = 7*11*4 = 308
So, the HCF of the fractions is 1/308

18) Answer (B)

$9 = 3^2$
$12 = 3 * 2^2$
So, the LCM of 9, 11 and 12 is $3^2 * 2^2 * 11$ = 9 * 4 * 11 = 396
So, the required number should be of the form 396k + 4
For k = 1, the number becomes 396 + 4 = 400

19) Answer (A)

From the properties of LCM and HCF, we have:
Product of the two numbers = Product of HCF and LCM
21 * x = 525
So, the other number is 525/21 = 25

20) Answer (D)

Let the numbers be k, 2k and 5k. The LCM of 1, 2 and 5 is 10. So, the LCM of k, 2k and 5k is 10k.
10k = 1600 => k = 160
So, the three numbers are 160, 320 and 800. The HCF of the three numbers is 160.

21) Answer (B)

The LCM of 20, 30 and 60 is 60.
The LCM of 50 and 60 is 300.
So, the number should be of the form 300k.
For k = 3, the number is 300*3 = 900. For k > 3, the number will not be a 3-digit number. So, 900 is the answer.

22) Answer (C)

Let the two numbers be a*h and b*h, where ‘h’ is the HCF of the two numbers. The LCM of the two numbers is a*b*h.
Since the other two factors of the LCM are 5 and 9, the two numbers are 5*13 = 65 and 9*13 = 117
So, the larger of the two numbers is 117

23) Answer (C)

Let the number = $x$

HCF = 11 and LCM = 825

Product of HCF and LCM = Product of the two numbers

=> $x \times 275 = 11 \times 825$

=> $x = \frac{11 \times 825}{275}$

=> $x = \frac{825}{25} = 33$

=> Ans – (C)

24) Answer (D)

Let the two numbers be a,b.
Hence a * b = L.C.M(a,b) * G.C.D(a,b)
It is given that a,b are co-primes, implies G.C.D(a,b) = 1
Hence from the above equation we get L.C.M(a,b) = a*b = 117

25) Answer (C)

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
