MOST IMPORTANT quantitative aptitude - 5 EXERCISES
The following question based on LCM & HCF topic of quantitative aptitude
(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) 2
(d) 3
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (c)
The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 12 and 924.
Let the numbers be 12p and 12q where p and q are prime to each other.
∴ LCM = 12pq
∴ 12pq = 924
⇒ pq = 77
∴ Possible pairs are (1 , 77) and (7 ,11)
Hence , required answer is 2.

Question : 1
The L.C.M. of three different numbers is 120. Which of the following cannot be their H.C.F.?
a) 8
b) 12
c) 24
d) 35
Answer »Answer: (d)
We know that:
LCM is the least common multiple of the given numbers whereas HCF is the highest common factor of those numbers.
Then, LCM is the multiplication of one common factor of the numbers and the other different factors of the numbers.
Write the LCM = 120 into factored form, that is
120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
= 4(2 × 3 × 5)
⇒ 4 is the common factor of the numbers.
So, the HCF of three numbers is a multiple of 4.
Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, ...
Therefore, 35 is not the multiple of 4, then 35 cannot be their HCF.
Question : 2
The product of two numbers is 2160 and their HCF is 12. Number of such possible pairs is
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
Answer »Answer: (b)
HCF = 12
Numbers = 12x and 12y
where x and y are prime to each other.
∴ 12x × 12y = 2160
⇒ xy = $2160/{12 × 12} $
= 15 = 3 × 5, 1 × 15
Possible pairs = (36, 60) and (12, 180)
Hence , Number of such possible pairs is 2.
Question : 3
The HCF of two numbers is 23 and the other two factors of their LCM are 13 and 14. The larger of the two numbers is :
a) 276
b) 299
c) 345
d) 322
Answer »Answer: (d)
HCF is 23. So the other two numbers would be,
(23 * 13) and (23 * 14).
Thus Larger Number = 23 * 14 = 322.
Question : 4
The HCF of two numbers is 15 and their LCM is 225. If one of the number is 75, then the other number is ?
a) 105
b) 90
c) 60
d) 45
Answer »Answer: (d)
First Number x Second Number = HCF x LCM
Then, 75 x Second Number = 15 x 225
Second Number $latex = ${15 x 225}/75 = 45$
Therefore, other number is 45.
Question : 5
The product of two numbers is 1280 and their H.C.F. is 8. The L.C.M. of the number will be ?
a) 160
b) 150
c) 120
d) 140
Answer »Answer: (a)
Product of two numbers = HCF × LCM
1280 = 8 × LCM
160 = LCM
Question : 6
The LCM of two numbers is 1920 and their HCF is 16. If one of the number is 128, find the other number.
a) 204
b) 240
c) 260
d) 320
Answer »Answer: (b)
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
