Question : 16 [ SSC CGL Prelim 2005]
The least multiple of 13, which on dividing by 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 leaves remainder 2 in each case is:
a) 840
b) 2522
c) 842
d) 2520
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 4,
LCM of 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8
=
2 | 4, | 5, | 6, | 7, | 8 |
2 | 2, | 5, | 3, | 7, | 4 |
1, | 5, | 3, | 7, | 2 |
= 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 840.
let required number be 840 K + 2 which is multiple of 13.
Least value of K for which (840 K + 2) is divisible by 13 is K = 3
∴ Required number
= 840 × 3 + 2
= 2520 + 2 = 2522
Question : 17 [SSC Section Officer 2006]
The largest 4-digit number exactly divisible by each of 12, 15, 18 and 27 is
a) 9960
b) 9930
c) 9720
d) 9690
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 8,
Greatest n digit number which when divided by three numbers A, B, C leaves no remainder will be
Required Number = (n – digit greatest number) – R
R is the remainder obtained on dividing greatest n digit number by L.C.M of A, B, C.
The largest number of 4-digits is 9999. L.C.M. of divisors
2 | 12, | 15, | 18, | 27 |
3 | 6, | 15, | 9, | 27 |
3 | 2, | 5, | 3, | 9 |
2, | 5, | 1, | 3 |
LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 540
Divide 9999 by 540, now we get 279 as remainder.
9999 – 279 = 9720
Hence, 9720 is the largest 4-digit number exactly divisible by each of 12, 15, 18 and 27.
Question : 18 [SSC Constable 2012]
A, B, C start running at the same time and at the same point in the same direction in a circular stadium. A completes a round in 252 seconds, B in 308 seconds and C in 198 seconds. After what time will they meet again at the starting point ?
a) 46 minutes 12 seconds
b) 45 minutes
c) 42 minutes 36 seconds
d) 26 minutes 18 seconds
Answer »Answer: (a)
Required time = LCM of 252, 308 and 198 seconds
2 | 252, | 308, | 198 |
2 | 126, | 154, | 99 |
7 | 63, | 77, | 99 |
9 | 9, | 11, | 99, |
11 | 1, | 11, | 11 |
1, | 1, | 1 |
∴ LCM = 2 × 2 × 7 × 9 × 11 = 2772 seconds
= 46 minutes 12 seconds
Question : 19 [SSC CGL Tier-II 2016]
Three bells ring at intervals of 36 seconds, 40 seconds and 48 seconds respectively. They start ringing together at a particular time. They will ring together after every
a) 24 minutes
b) 18 minutes
c) 12 minutes
d) 6 minutes
Answer »Answer: (c)
Required answer = LCM of 36, 40 and 48 seconds
= 720 seconds
= $(720/60)$minutes = 12 minutes
Illustration :
2 | 36, | 40, | 48 |
2 | 18, | 20, | 24 |
2 | 9, | 10, | 12 |
3 | 9, | 5, | 6 |
3, | 5, | 2 |
∴ LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 720
Question : 20 [SSC CPO 2009]
The greatest number of four digits which when divided by 12, 16 and 24 leave remainders 2, 6 and 14 respectively is
a) 9998
b) 9807
c) 9970
d) 9974
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 5,
When a number is divided by P, Q or R leaving remainders X, Y or Z respectively such that the difference between divisor and remainder in each case is the same i
.e., (P – X) = (Q – Y) = (R – Z) = T
(say) then that (least) number must be in the form of (K – T),
Where K is LCM of P, Q and R
Here,12 – 2 = 10; 16 – 6 = 10; 24 – 14 = 10
Now, LCM of 12, 16 and 24 = 48
∴ The greatest 4–digit number exactly divisible by 48 = 9984
∴ Required number = 9984 – 10 = 9974
