Question 81.


Which of the following represents the prime factorisation of 60?


  1.     2 x 2 x 3 x 5
  2.     2 x 2 x 5
  3.     2 x 2 x 3 
  4.     2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
:
A

Prime factorisation is expressing a number as the product of its prime factors.
60 = 2 x 30
     = 2 x 2 x 15
     = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
(2, 3 and 5 are prime numbers) 
Hence, the prime factorisation of 60 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5.


Question 82.


H.C.F of 45, 81 and 27 is _____.


  1.     45
  2.     27
  3.     9
  4.     1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 9
:
C

Factors of 45 = 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45


Factors of 81 = 1, 3, 9, 27, 81


Factors of 27 = 1, 3, 9, 27
The common factors of 45, 81 and 27 are 1, 3 and 9.


So, the H.C.F of 45, 81 and 27 = 9.


Question 83.


The prime factors of a number is given as 3 × × 11 × 101. Which of the following is correct about the number?


  1.     It is an even number.
  2.     It is the smallest 4 digit odd number.
  3.     The number is 10000.
  4.     It is the greatest 4 digit number.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> It is the greatest 4 digit number.
:
D

On simplification of the given expression, we get that
× × 11 × 101 = 9999.
We can observe that it is the greatest 4 digit number.
Also, we can see that this is an odd number.


Question 84.


The H.C.F of two co-prime numbers is


  1.     4
  2.     1
  3.     2
  4.     3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1
:
B

Numbers, which do not have any common factor between them other than one, are called co-prime numbers.
 
For example, 3 and 7 are co-prime numbers. They only have 1 as a common factor.


Question 85.


Find the least number which when divided by 32, 64 & 128 leaves the remainder of 8.


  1.     1024
  2.     1034
  3.     136
  4.     128
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 136
:
C

The smallest number that is divisible by 32, 64, 128 is the LCM of 32, 64, 128.
LCM of 32, 64, 128 =


Find The Least Number Which When Divided By 32, 64 & 128...


= 2×2×2×2×2×2×2


=128


When 128 is divided by 32, 64 & 128 there is no remainder. So, to get remainder 8 when divided by 32, 64 & 128, 8 is to be added to 128 i.e., 128+8 = 136 


Question 86.


A farmer has 3 storage units for rice. Each storage unit has the same capacity. Rice is available to the farmer in bags of 80 kg, 85 kg and 90 kg. Find the minimum storage capacity of each of the storage unit considering that he has to take rice in bags of 80 kg, 85 kg and 90 kg only.


  1.     14220 kg
  2.     12240 kg
  3.     12440 kg
  4.     14422 kg
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 12240 kg
:
B

The capacity of each storage unit should be same as well as minimum. The required minimum capacity should be the LCM of 80 kg, 85 kg & 90 kg.
A Farmer Has 3 Storage Units For Rice. Each Storage Unit Has...
2×2×2×2×5×9×17=12240


LCM of 80,85,90=12240


Question 87.


LCM of two numbers is 12 and HCF of same two numbers is 2. If one of the numbers is 6 then the other number is _____.


  1.     6
  2.     4
  3.     12
  4.     14
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4
:
B

It is given that LCM = 12; HCF=2
Product of 2 numbers = HCF × LCM of the respective numbers
6 × the other number = 12 × 2
6 × the other number =  24
the other number  =  246  =   4
 Hence, the other number = 4


Question 88.


The LCM of  18, 24 & 32 is _______.


  1.     288
  2.     32
  3.     24
  4.     432
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 288
:
A

LCM of 18, 24 and 32 is 


The LCM Of  18, 24 & 32 Is _______.


So,  LCM = 2×2×2×2×2×3×3
               = 288


Question 89.


LCM of two prime numbers is ________________.


  1.     product of both numbers
  2.     sum of two numbers
  3.     difference of both the numbers
  4.     division of both the numbers
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> product of both numbers
:
A

Prime numbers have only two factors 1 and the number itself.
Hence, LCM of two prime numbers is always the product of the two numbers.


For example, LCM of 3 and 5 = 3 × 5 = 15
Similarly, LCM of 7 and 11 = 7 × 11 = 77


Question 90.


L.C.M. of 1 and 90 is __.


  1.     90
  2.     360
  3.     45
  4.     1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 90
:
A

Multiples of 90 will be 90, 180, ...... and
Multiples of 1 will be 1, 2, 3...90 and so on.
From the above, we can say that, the least common multiple of 1 and 90 will be 90.
The L.C.M. of 1 and any other number, say 'x' is always 'x'.
