model 5 lcm & hcf vs ratios Section-Wise Topic Notes With Detailed Explanation And Example Questions

Answer: (b)

Numbers = 3x and 4x

HCF = x = 4

∴ LCM = 12x = 12 × 4 = 48

Answer: (b)

L.C.M. of 28 and 42

= 2 × 2 × 7 × 3 = 84

H.C. F. of 28 and 42

∴ H.C. F = 14

Required ratio = $84/14$ = 6 : 1

Answer: (c)

If the numbers be 3x and 4x,

then

HCF = x = 5

∴ Numbers = 15 and 20

∴ LCM = 60

Answer: (a)

Let the two numbers are 2x and 3x respectively.

According to question,

LCM = 54

x (3×2)= 54

⇒ x = 9

Numbers = 2x = 2 × 9 = 18

and, 3x = 3 × 9 = 27

Sum of the two numbers

= 18 + 27 = 45

Answer: (d)

Using Rule 1,

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

Let the numbers be 3x and 4x respectively

First number × second number

= HCF × LCM

⇒ 3x × 4x = 2028

⇒ $x^2 = 2028/{3×4}$ = 169

∴ x = $√{169}$ = 13

∴ Sum of the numbers

= 3x + 4x = 7x = 7 × 13 = 91

Answer: (a)

Let the numbers be 3x and 4x.

∴ Their LCM = 12x

∴ 12x = 84

⇒ x = $84/12$ = 7

∴ Larger number = 4x = 4 × 7 = 28
