MOST IMPORTANT quantitative aptitude - 5 EXERCISES
The following question based on LCM & HCF topic of quantitative aptitude
(a) 100
(b) 288
(c) 192
(d) 336
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (b)
Let the numbers be 48x and 48y
where x and y are co-primes.
48x + 48y = 384
→ 48 ( x + y) = 384
→ x + y = $384/48$ = 8 ........... (i)
Possible and acceptable pairs of x and y satisfying this condition are : (1, 7) and (3, 5).
∴ Numbers are : 48 × 1 = 48 and 48 × 7 = 336
and 48 × 3 = 144 and 48 × 5 = 240
∴ Required difference = 336 – 48 = 288

Question : 1
The number between 3000 and 4000 which is exactly divisible by 30, 36 and 80 is
a) 3625
b) 3500
c) 3250
d) 3600
Answer »Answer: (d)
Firstly, we find the LCM of 30, 36 and 80.
2 | 30, | 36, | 80 |
2 | 15, | 18, | 40 |
3 | 15, | 9, | 20 |
5 | 5, | 3, | 20 |
1, | 3, | 4 |
LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 3 × 4 = 720
Required number = Multiple of 720 = 720 × 5 = 3600;
because 3000 < 3600 < 4000
Question : 2
The sum of two numbers is 36 and their H.C.F and L.C.M. are 3 and 105 respectively. The sum of the reciprocals of two numbers is
a) $2/35$
b) $4/35$
c) $3/25$
d) $2/25$
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let the numbers be 3x and 3y.
∴ 3x + 3y = 36
⇒ x + y = 12 ... (i)
and 3xy = 105 ... (ii)
Dividing equation (i) by (ii), we have
$\text"x"/ \text"3xy" + \text"y"/ \text"3xy" = 12/105$
⇒ $1/\text"3y" + 1/\text"3x" = 4/35$
Question : 3
The LCM of two numbers is 12 times their HCF. The sum of the HCF and the LCM is 403. If one of the number is 93, then the other number is
a) 124
b) 134
c) 128
d) 138
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 1,
Let the HCF of numbers = H
Their LCM = 12H
According to the question,
12H +H = 403
⇒ 13H = 403
⇒ H = $403/13$ =31
⇒ LCM = 12 × 31
Now, First number × second number
= HCF × LCM
= 93 × Second Number
= 31 × 31 × 12
Second number = ${31 × 31 × 12}/93$ = 124
Question : 4
L.C.M. of two numbers is 120 and their H.C.F. is 10. Which of the following can be the sum of those two numbers ?
a) 140
b) 60
c) 80
d) 70
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the numbers be 10x and 10y
where x and y are prime to each other.
∴ LCM = 10 xy
→ 10xy = 120
→ xy = 12
Possible pairs = (3, 4) or (1, 12)
∴ Sum of the numbers = 30 + 40 = 70
Question : 5
The sum of two numbers is 84 and their HCF is 12. Total number of such pairs of number is
a) 2
b) 4
c) 3
d) 5
Answer »Answer: (c)
HCF = 12
∴ Numbers = 12x and 12y where x and y are prime to each other.
∴ 12x + 12y = 84
⇒ 12 (x + y) = 84
⇒ x + y = $84/12$ = 7
∴ Possible pairs of numbers satisfying this condition
= (1,6), (2,5) and (3,4). Hence three pairs are of required numbers.
Question : 6
The product of the LCM and the HCF of two numbers is 24. If the difference of the numbers is 2, then the greater of the number is
a) 3
b) 6
c) 4
d) 8
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 1,
1st number × 2nd number = L.C.M. × H.C.F
Let the larger number be x.
Smaller number = x – 2
First number × Second number = HCF × LCM
→ x (x – 2) = 24
→ $x^2$ – 2x – 24 = 0
→ $x^2$ – 6x + 4x – 24 = 0
→ x (x – 6) + 4 (x – 6) = 0
→ (x – 6) (x + 4) = 0
→ x = 6 because x ≠ – 4
