The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (c)
Let the numbers be 23x and 23y where x and y are co-prime.
∴ LCM = 23 xy
As given,
23xy = 23 × 13 × 14
∴ x = 13, y = 14
∴ The larger number = 23y
= 23 × 14 = 322

Question : 1
The HCF of two numbers is 15 and their LCM is 300. If one of the number is 60, the other is :
a) 75
b) 50
c) 100
d) 65
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 1 :
1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,
First number × Second number = HCF × LCM
∴ Second number = ${15 × 300}/60$ = 75
Question : 2
The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 13 and 455 respectively. If one of the number lies between 75 and 125, then, that number is :
a) 91
b) 78
c) 117
d) 104
Answer »Answer: (a)
HCF = 13
Let the numbers be 13x and 13y.
Where x and y are co-prime.
∴ LCM = 13 xy
∴ 13 xy = 455
∴ xy = $455/13$ = 35 = 5 × 7
∴ Numbers are 13 × 5 = 65 and 13 × 7 = 91
Question : 3
The LCM of two numbers is 4 times their HCF. The sum of LCM and HCF is 125. If one of the number is 100, then the other number is
a) 25
b) 5
c) 125
d) 100
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 1 :
1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,
Let LCM be L and HCF be H, then L = 4H
∴ H + 4H = 125
⇒ 5H = 125
⇒ H = ${125}/5$ = 25
∴ L = 4 × 25 = 100
∴ Second number = ${L× H}/{First number}$
= ${100 ×25}/100$ = 25
Question : 4
The LCM of two numbers is 1920 and their HCF is 16. If one of the number is 128, find the other number.
a) 240
b) 204
c) 320
d) 260
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 1 :
1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,
We have,
First number × second number = LCM × HCF
∴ Second number = ${1920 × 16}/128$ = 240
Question : 5
The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 12 and 924 respectively. Then the number of such pairs is
a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3
Answer »Answer: (c)
Question : 6
The H.C.F. of two numbers is 96 and their L.C.M. is 1296. If one of the number is 864, the other is
a) 132
b) 135
c) 140
d) 144
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 1 :
1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,
First number × Second number = HCF × LCM
⇒ 864 × Second number
= 96 × 1296 ⇒ Second number
${96 × 1296}/864$ = 144
