a) 43550
b) 43600
c) 43650
d) 43500
Answer »Answer: (c)

c) 14
d) 17
Answer »Answer: (c)
| 2 | 60 |
| 2 | 30 |
| 3 | 15, |
| 5 |
∴ 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
i.e., Numbers = 2, 3, 4 and 5
∴ Required sum = 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 14
Question : 3

Answer »Answer: (a)
LCM of 16, 18, 20 and 25 = 3600
∴ Required number = 3600K + 4 which is exactly divisible by 7 for certain value of K.
When K = 5,
number = 3600 × 5 + 4
= 18004 which is exactly divisible by 7.
Question : 4
The least perfect square, which is divisible by each of 21, 36 and 66 is

a) 1586
b) 1562
c) 962
d) 312
Answer »Answer: (c)
LCM of 3, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 = 120
∴ Required number = 120x + 2, which is exactly divisible by 13.
120x + 2 = 13 × 9x + 3x + 2
Clearly 3x + 2 should be divisible by 13.
For x=8,3x + 2 is divisible by 13.
∴ Required number = 120x + 2 = 120 × 8 + 2
= 960 + 2 = 962
