Question 111.

The least number, which when divided by 48, 60, 72, 108 and 140 leaves 38, 50, 62, 98 and 130 as remainders respectively, is:

  1.    11115
  2.    15110
  3.    15120
  4.    15210
  5.    None of these

Answer: Option B. -> 15110
 -    Here (48 - 38) = 10, (60 - 50) = 10, (72 - 62) = 10, (108 - 98) = 10 & (140 - 130) = 10.
  Required number = (L.C.M. of 48, 60, 72, 108, 140) – 10
  = 15120 – 10 = 15110
Question 112.

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:

  1.    279
  2.    283
  3.    308
  4.    318
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 308
 -    Other number =   11 x 7700    = 308   275  
Question 113.

The least number which should be added to 2497 so that the sum is exactly divisible by 5, 6, 4 and 3 is:

  1.    3
  2.    13
  3.    23
  4.    33
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 23
 -   L.C.M. of 5, 6, 4 and 3 = 60. On dividing 2497 by 60, the remainder is 37. Number to be added = (60 – 37) = 23
Question 114.

The H.C.F. of 1.75, 5.6 and 7 is:

  1.    0.07
  2.    0.7
  3.    3.5
  4.    0.35
  5.    None of these

Answer: Option D. -> 0.35

 -   Given numbers with two decimal places are : 1.75, 5.60 and 7.00. Without decimal places, these numbers are : 175, 560 and 700, whose H.C.F. is 35. H.C.F of given numbers = 0.35

The Highest Common Factor (HCF) of any two or more given numbers is the largest number that divides each one of them completely. In other words, it is the largest number that is a common factor of all the given numbers.

In this case, the HCF of 1.75, 5.6 and 7 is 0.35.

To find the HCF of these numbers, we will use the prime factorization method. Prime factorization is the process of finding the prime numbers that multiply together to produce the given number.

Let us start by finding the prime factorization of each of the three numbers:

1.75:
1.75 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 0.875

5.6:
5.6 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 1.4

7:
7 = 7
Now, let us find the HCF of these numbers:

HCF = 2 × 2 × 2 × 0.875
HCF = 0.35

Thus, the HCF of 1.75, 5.6 and 7 is 0.35.

Explanation:
The HCF of any two or more given numbers is the largest number that divides each one of them completely.
The prime factorization method is used to find the HCF of the given numbers.
In this case, the HCF of 1.75, 5.6 and 7 is 0.35.

Question 115.

A, B and C start at the same time in the same direction to run around a circular stadium. A completes a round in 252 seconds, B in 308 seconds and C in 198 seconds, all starting at the same point. After what time will they meet again at the starting point?

  1.    26 minutes 18 seconds
  2.    42 minutes 36 seconds
  3.    45 minutes
  4.    46 minutes 12 seconds
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 46 minutes 12 seconds
 -  L.C.M. of 252, 308 and 198 = 2772. So, A, B and C will again meet at the starting point in 2772 see i.e., 46 min. 12 sec
Question 116.

The largest four digit number which when divided by 4, 7 or 13 leaves a remainder of 3 in each case, is?

  1.    8739
  2.    9831
  3.    9834
  4.    9893
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 9831
 -  Greatest number of 4 digits is 9999, L.C.M. of 4, 7 and 13 = 364 On dividing 9999 by 364, remainder obtained is 171. Greatest number of 4 digits divisible by 4, 7 and 13 = (9999 – 171) = 9828 Hence, required number = (9828 + 3) = 9831
Question 117. Find the greatest number that will divide 43, 91 and 183 so as to leave the same remainder in each case.
  1.    4
  2.    7
  3.    9
  4.    13
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 4
Question 118. 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:
  1.    276
  2.    299
  3.    322
  4.    345
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 322
Question 119. The greatest number of four digits which is divisible by 15, 25, 40 and 75 is:
  1.    9000
  2.    9400
  3.    9600
  4.    9800
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 9600
Question 120. 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:
  1.    4
  2.    5
  3.    6
  4.    8
