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) 200
(b) 100
(c) 250
(d) 150
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (b)
Let the number be x and y.
According to the question,
x + y = 45 ......... (i)
Again, x – y = $1/9$(x + y)
x – y = $1/9$×45
or x – y = 5 ..... (ii)
By (i) + (ii) we have,
x + y = 45
$\text"x – y = 5"/\text"2x"$ = 50
or, x = 25
y = 45 – 25 = 20.
Now, LCM of 25 and 20 = 100.

Question : 1
The L.C.M. of two numbers is 20 times their H.C.F. The sum of H.C.F. and L.C.M. is 2520. If one of the number is 480, the other number is :
a) 400
b) 520
c) 480
d) 600
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 1,
1st number × 2nd number = L.C.M. × H.C.F
Let the H.C.F. be H.
L.C.M. = 20H
Then, H + 20H = 2520
⇒ 21 H = 2520
⇒ H = $2520/21$ = 120
∴ L.C.M. = 20H = 20×120= 2400
As, First number × Second number = L.C.M. × H.C.F.
⇒ 480 × Second number = 2400 × 120
⇒ Second number = ${2400 × 120}/480$ = 600
Question : 2
The product of the LCM and HCF of two numbers is 24. The difference of the two numbers is 2. Find the numbers ?
a) 8 and 6
b) 2 and 4
c) 8 and 10
d) 6 and 4
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 1,
1st number × 2nd number = L.C.M. × H.C.F
Let the numbers be x and (x + 2).
∴ Product of numbers = 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 – 4) (x + 6) = 0
⇒ x = 4, as x ≠ 6 = 0
∴ Numbers are 4 and 6.
Question : 3
If the HCF and LCM of two consecutive (positive) even numbers be 2 and 84 respectively, then the sum of the numbers is
a) 30
b) 14
c) 26
d) 34
Answer »Answer: (c)
Let the numbers be 2x and 2y
where x and y are prime to each other.
∴LCM = 2xy
⇒ 2xy = 84
⇒ xy = 42 = 6 × 7
∴ Numbers are 12 and 14.
Hence Sum = 12 + 14 = 26
Question : 4
The H.C.F. of two numbers, each having three digits , is 17 and their L.C.M. is 714. The sum of the numbers will be :
a) 289
b) 221
c) 391
d) 731
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let the numbers be 17x and 17y
where x and y are co-prime.
LCM of 17x and 17y = 17 xy
According to the question,
17xy = 714
⇒ xy = $714/17$ = 42 = 6 × 7
⇒ x = 6 and y = 7
or, x = 7 and y =6.
First number = 17x = 17 × 6 = 102
Second number = 17y =17 × 7 = 119
∴ Sum of the numbers = 102 + 119 = 221
