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 × Second number = HCF × LCM
⇒ 864 × Second number
= 96 × 1296 ⇒ Second number
${96 × 1296}/864$ = 144

Question : 1
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 : 2
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 : 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) 299
b) 276
c) 322
d) 345
Answer »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 : 4
LCM of two numbers is 225 and their HCF is 5. If one number is 25, the other number will be?
a) 5
b) 25
c) 45
d) 225
Answer »Answer: (c)
Given, LCM = 225, HCF = 5,
First Number = 25 , Second Number = ?
We can find the Second Number with the help of given formula,
"LCM × HCF = 1st Number× 2nd Number"
⇒ 225 × 5 = 25 × 2nd Number
2nd Number = ${\text"225 x 5"}/25$
∴ 2nd Number = 45
Question : 5
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 : 6
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.
