model 4 addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with lcm & hcf Section-Wise Topic Notes With Detailed Explanation And Example Questions
MOST IMPORTANT quantitative aptitude - 5 EXERCISES
The following question based on LCM & HCF topic of quantitative aptitude
(a) 10
(b) 70
(c) 46
(d) 90
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (a)
Using Rule 1,
Suppose 1st number is x then, 2nd number = 100 – x
∴ LCM × HCF = 1st number × 2nd number
→ 495 × 5 = x × (100 – x)
→ 495 × 5 = 100x – $x^2$
→ $x^2$ – 55x – 45x – 2475 = 0
→ (x – 45) (x – 55) = 0
→ x = 45 or x = 55
Then, difference = 55 – 45 = 10

Question : 1
If the product of three consecutive numbers is 210 then sum of the smaller number is :
a) 3
b) 5
c) 4
d) 11
Answer »Answer: (d)
2 | 210 |
3 | 105 |
5 | 35 |
7 |
210 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 5 × 6 × 7
∴ Required answer = 5 + 6 = 11
Question : 2
Let x be the least number, which when divided by 5, 6, 7 and 8 leaves a remainder 3 in each case but when divided by 9 leaves no remainder. The sum of digits of x is
a) 21
b) 18
c) 22
d) 24
Answer »Answer: (b)
LCM of 5, 6, 7 and 8 = 840
2 | 5, | 6, | 7, | 8 |
5, | 3, | 7, | 4 |
∴ LCM = 2 × 5 × 3 × 7 × 4 = 840
Required number = 840x + 3
which is divisible by 9 for a certain least value of x.
Now, 840x + 3 = 93x × 9 + 3x + 3
3x + 3, is divisible by 9 for x = 2
Required number = 840 × 2 + 3
= 1680 + 3 = 1683
∴ Sum of digits = 1 + 6 + 8 + 3 = 18
Question : 3
Three numbers which are coprime to one another are such that the product of the first two is 551 and that of the last two is 1073. The sum of the three numbers is :
a) 75
b) 85
c) 81
d) 89
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let the numbers be x, y and z which are prime to one another.
Now, xy = 551 yz = 1073
∴ y = HCF of 551 and 1073
y = 29
x = $551/29$ = 19
and z = $1073/29$ = 37
∴Sum = 19 + 29 + 37 = 85
Question : 4
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 : 5
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 : 6
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
