The following question based on LCM & HCF topic of quantitative aptitude

Questions : The LCM of two numbers is 44 times of their HCF. The sum of the LCM and HCF is 1125. If one number is 25, then the other number is

(a) 1100

(b) 900

(c) 975

(d) 800

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (a)

Using Rule 1,

If the HCF = H,

then LCM = 44 H

44 H + H = 1125

→ 45 H = 1125

∴ H = $1125/45$ = 25

LCM = 44 × 25 = 1100

Now, First number × Second number = LCM × HCF

→ 25 × Second number = 1100 × 25

∴ Second number = ${1100 × 25}/25$ = 1100

Question : 1

A number x is divisible by 7. When this number is divided by 8, 12 and 16. It leaves a remainder 3 in each case. The least value of x is:

a) 148

b) 150

c) 149

d) 147

Answer: (d)

LCM of 8, 12 and 16 = 48

∴ Required number

= 48a + 3 which is divisible by 7.

x = 48a + 3 = (7 × 6a) + (6a + 3) which is divisible by 7.

i.e. 6a + 3 is divisible by 7.

When a = 3, 6a + 3 = 18 + 3 = 21

which is divisible by 7.

∴ x = 48 × 3 + 3 = 144 + 3 = 147

Question : 2

Let x be the smallest number, which when added to 2000 makes the resulting number divisible by 12, 16, 18 and 21. The sum of the digits of x is

a) 7

b) 6

c) 5

d) 4

Answer: (a)

212, 16, 18, 21
26, 8, 9, 21
33, 4, 9, 21
1, 4, 3, 7

LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 3 × 7 = 1008

Multiple of 1008 = 2016

∴ Required number = 2016 – 2000 = 16 = x

∴ Sum of digits of x = 1 + 6 = 7

Question : 3

The LCM of two positive integers is twice the larger number. The difference of the smaller number and the GCD of the two numbers is 4. The smaller number is :

a) 12

b) 8

c) 6

d) 10

Answer: (b)

Let the numbers be x H and yH

where H is the HCF and yH > x H.

LCM = xy H

xyH = 2yH

→ x = 2

Again, x H – H = 4

→ 2H – H = 4 ⇒ H = 4

∴ Smaller number = x H = 8

Question : 4

The sum of two numbers is 36 and their H.C.F. is 4. How many pairs of such numbers are possible ?

a) 1

b) 3

c) 2

d) 4

Answer: (b)

HCF of two numbers = 4.

Hence, the numbers can be given by 4x and 4y

where x and y are co-prime.

Then, 4x + 4y = 36

4 (x + y) = 36

x + y = 9

Possible pairs satisfying this condition are : (1, 8), (4, 5), (2, 7)

Question : 5

The number between 4000 and 5000 that is divisible by each of 12, 18, 21 and 32 is

a) 4023

b) 4302

c) 4032

d) 4203

Answer: (c)

212, 18, 21, 32
26, 9, 21, 16
33, 9, 21, 8
1, 3, 7, 8

LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 8 = 2016

∴Required number = 2016 × 2 = 4032

Question : 6

The sum of two numbers is 216 and their HCF is 27. How many pairs of such numbers are there?

a) 1

b) 3

c) 2

d) 0

Answer: (c)

HCF of two numbers = 27

Let the numbers be 27x and 27y

where x and y are prime to each other.

According to the question,

27x + 27y = 216

27 (x + y) = 216

x + y = $216/27$ = 8

Possible pairs of x and y = (1, 7) and (3, 5)

Numbers =(27, 189) and (81, 135)
