Lcm And Hcf Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ibps po prelims 2024 2025

Question :1

One-fifth of a number is 81. What will 68% of that number be ?

Answer: (d)

Suppose the number is x

∴x ×$1/5$=81⇒x=81×5=405

∴${x × 68}/100$ = ${405 × 68}/100$

x = 275.4

Question :2

If the HCF of $x^3 + mx^2 – x + 2m$ and $x^2$ + mx – 2 is a linear polynomial, then what is the value of m?

Answer: (c)

Let $f_1(x) = x^3 + mx^2$ – x + 2m

and $f_2 (x) = x^2$ + mx – 2

Let m = 1

∴ $f_1(x) = x^3 + x^2$ – x + 2

and $f_2 (x) = x^2$ + x – 2 = (x + 2) (x – 1)

When x = 1,

f (1) = 1 + 1 – 1 + 2 ≠ 0

When x = – 2,

f (– 2) = $(–2)^3 + (–2)^2$ – (– 2) + 2 = 0

Required value of m is 1.

Question :3

If the points P and Q represent the real numbers 0.$\ov{83}$ and 0.$\ov{62}$ on the number line, then the distance between P and Q is

Answer: (a)

We have P = 0.8$\ov3$ and Q = 0.6$\ov2$

The distance between P and Q is

0.8$\ov3$ - 0.6$\ov2$ = 0.2$\ov1$

Expressing this distance in the form of rational number, we assume 0.2$\ov1$ = x

No. of digits with bar = 1

No. of digits without bar = 1

Therefore, the denominator would be 90.

No. of digits after the decimal = 2

Therefore, the numerator would be 21 – 2 = 19

Thus, x = ${19}/{90}$

Question :4

The HCF of two numbers is 98 and their LCM is 2352. The sum of the numbers may be

Answer: (c)

HCF of two numbers is 98. It means that 98 is common in both the numbers. Therefore, the sum of these two numbers also be multiple of 98. So, 1372 is divided by 98.

Question :5

The LCM of ($x^3 – x^2 – 2x) and (x^3 + x^2$) is

Answer: (b)

Let $f_1 (x) = x^3 – x^2 – 2x = x (x^2 – x – 2)$

= x {$x^2$ – 2x + x – 2}

= x {x (x – 2) + 1 (x – 2)} = x (x + 1) (x – 2)

and $f_2 (x) = x^3 + x^2 = x^2$ (x + 1) = x . x (x + 1)

∴ LCM of [$f_1(x), f_2(x)$] = x (x + 1) . x (x – 2)

= $x^2 (x + 1) (x – 2) = x^2 (x^2$ – x – 2)

= $x^4 – x^3 – 2x^2$
