Answer: Option A. -> 220, 440 and 660
:
A
Common multiples of any given set of numbers will always be the multiples of the LCM of the numbers.
Now, LCM of 4, 5 and 11 can be found as follows.
Hence, LCM = 2×2×5×11=220
The multiples of 220 are 440, 660, 880...
Hence, in the given options, the common multiples of4, 5 and 11 are 220, 440 and660.

Answer: Option D. -> sum, difference and product
:
D
If two given numbers are divisible by a number, then their sum, difference and product is also divisible by that number.
For example, the numbers 35 and 25 are both divisible by 5 and
their
i)difference (35-25 = 10) is also divisible by 5
ii)sum (35+25 = 60) is also divisible by 5.
iii)product(35×25=875) is also divisible by 5.

Question 34. Statement 1: If two numbers are co-primes, at least one of them must be prime.
Statement 2: If a number exactly divides the sum of two numbers, it must exactly divide the two numbers separately.
Statement 3: If a number exactly divides two numbers, then it must also divide the sum of both numbers.
Statement 2: If a number exactly divides the sum of two numbers, it must exactly divide the two numbers separately.
Statement 3: If a number exactly divides two numbers, then it must also divide the sum of both numbers.
Answer: Option B. -> False,False,True
:
B
Take an example and visualize-
i)9 and 4 are co-prime but none of them are prime.
ii)Now, 14 divides 28, but it does not divide 12 and 16.
iii)4 divides 12 and 16 separately
4 also divides 12+16 = 28

Answer: Option D. -> 9648
:
D
If a number is divisible by both 2 and 3, then it will bedivisible by 6 also.
Divisibility by 2
Here all the numbers, 9638, 9640, 9642, 9648 are divisible by 2 as they end with one of these (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) numbers or simply as they are even numbers.
Divisibility by 3
⇒9 + 6 + 3 + 8 = 26
⇒9 +6 + 4 + 0 = 19
⇒9 + 6 + 4 + 2 = 21
⇒9 + 6 + 4 + 8 = 27
Here only 21 and 27 are divisible by 3 hence only9642 and 9648 are divisible by 3.
So, thesetwo numbers are divisible by both 2 and 3 and hence divisible by 6.
Divisibility by 8
A number will bedivisible by 8 only if the last three digits are divisible by 8.
Thelast 3 digits of only9648, i.e. 648 is divisible by 8.
But last three digits of 9642, i.e. 642 is not divisible by 8.
9648 is divisible by both 6 and 8.

⇒9 + 6 + 3 + 8 = 26
⇒9 +6 + 4 + 0 = 19
⇒9 + 6 + 4 + 2 = 21
⇒9 + 6 + 4 + 8 = 27
Here only 21 and 27 are divisible by 3 hence only9642 and 9648 are divisible by 3.
So, thesetwo numbers are divisible by both 2 and 3 and hence divisible by 6.
Divisibility by 8
A number will bedivisible by 8 only if the last three digits are divisible by 8.
Thelast 3 digits of only9648, i.e. 648 is divisible by 8.
But last three digits of 9642, i.e. 642 is not divisible by 8.
9648 is divisible by both 6 and 8.
Answer: Option B. -> 105 = 3 × 5 × 7
:
B
72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
105 = 3 × 5 × 7
625 = 5 × 5 × 5 × 5
162 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
Hence, only the factorisation of 105 is correct

Answer: Option C. -> 19, 13, 11, 7, 3
:
C
Prime numbers have only two factors, 1 and the number itself.
1 is neither prime nor composite.
2 is the only even prime number.
9 and 39 have more than 2 factors, hence they are not prime numbers.
Considering all these, the correctoption is19, 13, 11, 7 and 3.

Answer: Option A. -> a number whose sum of factors is equal to twice the number.
:
A
A perfect number is a number for which the sum of all its factors is equal to twice the number.
For example, 6 is a perfect number since the sum ofits factors 1, 2, 3 and 6 is 12 i.e. twice of 6.
Perfect numbers are also defined as those numbers that equalthe sum of all their factorsincluding 1 butexcluding the number itself.
Taking the same example of 6: sum of its factors excluding the numberitself i.e 6 = 1+2+3 = 6.

Answer: Option B. -> 999
:
B
Composite numbers are those numbers which are not prime numbers except 1. 1 is regarded as a unique number.
The largest 3 digit number is 999 and it is a composite number. (divisible by 3, 9 etc)
