Question : 1
The product of two numbers is 216. If the HCF is 6, then their LCM is
a) 60
b) 72
c) 36
d) 48
Answer »Answer: (c)
Let the numbers be 6x and 6y where x and y are prime to each other.
∴ 6x × 6y = 216
⇒ xy = $216/{6 × 6}$ = 6
∴ LCM = 6xy = 6 × 6 = 36
Question : 2
The product of two numbers is 1280 and their H.C.F. is 8. The L.C.M. of the number will be :
a) 150
b) 160
c) 140
d) 120
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 1 :
1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,
HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers
⇒ 8 × LCM = 1280
⇒ LCM = $1280/8$ =160
Question : 3
The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 12 and 924 respectively. Then the number of such pairs is
a) 1
b) 0
c) 3
d) 2
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the numbers be 12x and 12y where x and y are prime to each other.
∴ LCM = 12xy
∴ 12xy = 924
⇒ xy = 77
∴ Possible pairs = (1,77) and (7,11)
Question : 4
The L.C.M. of three different numbers is 120. Which of the following cannot be their H.C.F.?
a) 12
b) 8
c) 35
d) 24
Answer »Answer: (c)
LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
Hence, HCF = 4, 8, 12 or 24
According to question
35 cannot be H.C.F. of 120.
Question : 5
The HCF and product of two numbers are 15 and 6300 respectively. The number of possible pairs of the numbers is
a) 3
b) 4
c) 1
d) 2
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the number be 15x and 15y, where x and y are co –prime.
∴ 15x × 15y = 6300
⇒ xy = $6300/{15 ×15}$ = 28
So, two pairs are (7, 4) and (14, 2)
Question : 6
The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 18 and 378 respectively. If one of the number is 54, then the other number is
a) 144
b) 126
c) 238
d) 198
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 1 :
1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,
Second number =${HCF × LCM}/{First number} $
= ${18 ×378}/54$ = 126
