Description : The product of two numbers is 4107. If the H.C.F. of these numbers is 37, then the greater number is: A.124 B.100 C.111 D.175 E.None of these
Last Answer : Answer – C (111) Explanation – Let the numbers be 37a and 37b. Then, 37a x 37b = 4107 ab = 3. Now, co-primes with product 3 are (1, 3). So, the required numbers are (37 x 1, 37 x 3) i.e., (37, 111). Greater number = 111.
Description : 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: A.269 B.275 C.308 D.310 E.None of these
Last Answer : Answer – C (308) Explanation – Other number =[11 x 7700]/275 = 308

Last Answer : Answer – D (16) Explanation – L.C.M. of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 is 120.So, the bells will toll together after every 120 seconds, i.e, 2 minutes.In 30 minutes, they will toll together 30/2 + 1 = 16
Description : The L.C.M. of two numbers is 48. The numbers are in the ratio 2 : 3. Then sum of the number is: A.30 B.22 C.40 D.60 E.None of these
Last Answer : Answer – C (40) Explanation – Let the numbers be 2x and 3x. Then, their L.C.M. = 6x. So, 6x = 48 or x = 8. The numbers are 16 and 24. Hence, required sum = (16 + 24) = 40.
Description : The least number which should be added to 2497 so that the sum is exactly divisible by 5, 6, 4 and 3 is: A.10 B.14 C.23 D.30 E.None of these
Last Answer : Answer – C (23) Explanation – 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
Description : The least number, which when divided by 12, 15, 20 and 54 leaves in each case a remainder of 8 is: A.534 B.486 C.544 D.548 E.None of these
