4
7
9
13
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Required number = H.C.F. of (91 - 43), (183 - 91) and (183 - 43)

     = H.C.F. of 48, 92 and 140 = 4.


2.
The H.C.F. of two numbers is 23 and the other two factors of their L.C.M. are 13 and 14. The larger of the two numbers is:
276
299
322
345
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Clearly, the numbers are (23 x 13) and (23 x 14).

Let N be the greatest number that will divide 1305, 4665 and 6905, leaving the same remainder in each case. Then sum of the digits in N is:
4
5
6
8
Answer: Option
Explanation:

N = H.C.F. of (4665 - 1305), (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305)

  = H.C.F. of 3360, 2240 and 5600 = 1120.

Sum of digits in N = ( 1 + 1 + 2 + 0 ) = 4

The greatest number of four digits which is divisible by 15, 25, 40 and 75 is:
9000
9400
9600
9800
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Greatest number of 4-digits is 9999.

L.C.M. of 15, 25, 40 and 75 is 600.

On dividing 9999 by 600, the remainder is 399.

Required number (9999 - 399) = 9600.
