The H.C.F. of two numbers is 11 and their L.C.M. is 7700. If one of the numbers is 275, then the other is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Other number = |  |
11 x 7700 |  |
= 308. |
| 275 |

What will be the least number which when doubled will be exactly divisible by 12, 18, 21 and 30 ?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
L.C.M. of 12, 18, 21 30 2 | 12 - 18 - 21 - 30
----------------------------= 2 x 3 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 5 = 1260. 3 | 6 - 9 - 21 - 15
----------------------------Required number = (1260 รท 2) | 2 - 3 - 7 - 5
= 630.18.
The ratio of two numbers is 3 : 4 and their H.C.F. is 4. Their L.C.M. is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the numbers be 3x and 4x. Then, their H.C.F. = x. So, x = 4.
So, the numbers 12 and 16.
L.C.M. of 12 and 16 = 48.
19.
The smallest number which when diminished by 7, is divisible 12, 16, 18, 21 and 28 is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Required number = (L.C.M. of 12,16, 18, 21, 28) + 7
= 1008 + 7
= 1015
