The following question based on LCM & HCF topic of quantitative aptitude

Questions : The H.C.F. and L.C.M. of two numbers are 44 and 264 respectively. If the first number is divided by 2, the quotient is 44. The other number is

(a) 528

(b) 147

(c) 264

(d) 132

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (d)

Using Rule 1 :

1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,

First number = 2 × 44 = 88

∴ First number × Second number

= H.C.F. × L.C.M.

⇒ 88 × Second numebr

= 44 × 264

⇒ Second number = ${44 × 264}/88$ = 132

Question : 1

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) 135

b) 132

c) 144

d) 140

Answer: (c)

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

Question : 2

L.C.M. of two numbers is 1820 and their H.C.F. is 26. If one number is 130 then the other number is :

a) 1690

b) 70

c) 1264

d) 364

Answer: (d)

Using Rule 1 :

1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,

Given that

L.C.M. of two numbers = 1820

H.C.F. of those numbers = 26

One of the number is 130

∴ Another number = ${1820×26}/130$ = 364

Question : 3

The HCF of two numbers 12906 and 14818 is 478. Their LCM is

a) 200043

b) 400086

c) 800172

d) 600129

Answer: (b)

Using Rule 1 :

1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,

Product of two numbers = HCF × LCM

⇒ 12906 × 14818 = LCM × 478

⇒ LCM = ${12906 × 14818}/478$

= 400086

Question : 4

LCM of two numbers is 225 and their HCF is 5. If one number is 25, the other number will be:

a) 25

b) 5

c) 225

d) 45

Answer: (d)

Using Rule 1 :

1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,

LCM × HCF = 1st Number× 2nd Number

⇒225 × 5 = 25 × x

∴ x = ${225 × 5}/25$ = 45

Question : 5

The H.C.F. and L.C.M. of two numbers are 8 and 48 respectively. If one of the number is 24, then the other number is

a) 36

b) 48

c) 16

d) 24

Answer: (c)

Using Rule 1 :

1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,

First number × second number = HCF × LCM

⇒ 24 × second number = 8 × 48

∴ Second number =${8 × 48}/24$ = 16

Question : 6

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: (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)
