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

Questions : The sum of two numbers is 45. Their difference is 1 9 of their sum. Their L.C.M. is

(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: (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: (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: (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: (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
