The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (b)
Using Rule 1 :
1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,
First number × second number = HCF × LCM
⇒ 52 × second number = 4 × 520

Question : 1
The product of two numbers is 2028 and their HCF is 13. The number of such pairs is
a) 2
b) 1
c) 4
d) 3
Answer »Answer: (a)
Here, HCF = 13
Let the numbers be 13x and 13y where x and y are Prime to each other.
Now, 13x × 13y = 2028
⇒ xy = ${2028}/{13×13}$ = 12
The possible pairs are : (1, 12), (3, 4), (2, 6)
But the 2 and 6 are not co-prime.
∴ The required no. of pairs = 2
Question : 2
The H.C.F and L.C.M of two numbers are 12 and 336 respectively. If one of the number is 84, the other is
a) 48
b) 36
c) 96
d) 72
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 1 :
1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,
First number × second number = HCF × LCM
⇒ 84 × second number = 12 × 336
∴ Second number = ${12 × 336}/84$ = 48
Question : 3
LCM of two numbers is 2079 and their HCF is 27. If one of the number is 189, the other number is
a) 584
b) 297
c) 216
d) 189
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 1 :
1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,
Second number = ${H.C.F.× L.C.M.}/{First Number}$
= ${27 × 2079}/189$ = 297
Question : 4
The LCM of two numbers is 864 and their HCF is 144. If one of the number is 288, the other number is :
a) 1296
b) 576
c) 144
d) 432
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 1 :
1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,
Required number
= ${LCM ×HCF}/{First number}$
= ${864 × 144}/ 288$ = 432
Question : 5
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 : 6
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
