Question : 11 [SSC CPO S.I.2006]
Which greatest number will divide 3026 and 5053 leaving remainders 11 and 13 respectively?
a) 60
b) 30
c) 18
d) 45
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 7,
3026 –11 = 3015 and 5053 –13 = 5040
Required number = HCF of 3015 and 5040
∴ Required number = 45
Question : 12 [SSC CGL 2017]
Two pipes of length 1.5 m and 1.2 m are to be cut into equal pieces without leaving any extra length of pipes. The greatest length of the pipe pieces of same size which can be cut from these two lengths will be
a) 0.41 metre
b) 0.4 metre
c) 0.13 metre
d) 0.3 metre
Answer »Answer: (d)
Maximum length of each piece
= HCF of 1.5 metre and 1.2 metre
= 0.3 metre
Illustration :
∴ HCF of 1.5 and 1.2 metre = 0.3 metre
Question : 13 [SSC DEO 2011]
A farmer has 945 cows and 2475 sheep. He farms them into flocks, keeping cows and sheep separate and having the same number of animals in each flock. If these flocks are as large as possible, then the maximum number of animals in each flock and total number of flocks required for the purpose are respectively
a) 46 and 75
b) 9 and 380
c) 15 and 228
d) 45 and 76
Answer »Answer: (d)
First of all we find the HCF of 945 and 2475. HCF = 45
Illustration :
∴ Maximum number of animals in each flock = 45
Required total number of flocks = $945/45 + 2475/45$
= 21 + 55 = 76
Question : 14 [SSC CGL Prelim 2007]
The largest number, which divides 25, 73 and 97 to leave the same remainder in each case, is
a) 6
b) 23
c) 24
d) 21
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 7,
Let x be the remainder.
Then, (25 – x ), (73 – x ), and (97 – x )
Will be exactly divisible by the required number.
∴ Required number
= HCF of (73 –x ) – (25 –x ), (97 –x ) – (73 –x ) and (97 –x ) – (25 –x )
= HCF of (73 –25), (97 –73), and (97 –25)
= HCF of 48, 24 and 72 = 24
Question : 15
Find the greatest number that will divide 390, 495 and 300 without leaving a remainder.
a) 35
b) 15
c) 5
d) 25
Answer »Answer: (b)
Required number = HCF of 390, 495 and 300 = 15
Illustration :
HCF of 15 and 300 = 15
