Question : 6
HCF and LCM of two numbers are 7 and 140 respectively. If the numbers are between 20 and 45, the sum of the numbers is :
a) 70
b) 63
c) 77
d) 56
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let the numbers be 7x and 7y
where x and y are co-prime.
Now, LCM of 7x and 7y = 7xy
∴ 7xy = 140 ⇒ xy = $140/7$ = 20
Now, required values of x and y whose product is 50 and are coprime, will be 4 and 5.
∴ Numbers are 28 and 35 which lie between 20 and 45.
∴ Required sum = 28 + 35 = 63.
Question : 7 [SSC CGL Prelim 2008]
The product of the LCM and the HCF of two numbers is 24. If the difference of the numbers is 2, then the greater of the number is
a) 3
b) 6
c) 4
d) 8
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 1,
1st number × 2nd number = L.C.M. × H.C.F
Let the larger number be x.
Smaller number = x – 2
First number × Second number = 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 – 6) (x + 4) = 0
→ x = 6 because x ≠ – 4
Question : 8 [SSC HSL 2010]
The sum of two numbers is 84 and their HCF is 12. Total number of such pairs of number is
a) 2
b) 4
c) 3
d) 5
Answer »Answer: (c)
HCF = 12
∴ Numbers = 12x and 12y where x and y are prime to each other.
∴ 12x + 12y = 84
⇒ 12 (x + y) = 84
⇒ x + y = $84/12$ = 7
∴ Possible pairs of numbers satisfying this condition
= (1,6), (2,5) and (3,4). Hence three pairs are of required numbers.
Question : 9 [SSC CGL Tier-1 2011]
L.C.M. of two numbers is 120 and their H.C.F. is 10. Which of the following can be the sum of those two numbers ?
a) 140
b) 60
c) 80
d) 70
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the numbers be 10x and 10y
where x and y are prime to each other.
∴ LCM = 10 xy
→ 10xy = 120
→ xy = 12
Possible pairs = (3, 4) or (1, 12)
∴ Sum of the numbers = 30 + 40 = 70
Question : 10 [SSC CPO S.I 2009]
Sum of two numbers is 384. H.C.F. of the numbers is 48. The difference of the numbers is
a) 100
b) 288
c) 192
d) 336
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let the numbers be 48x and 48y
where x and y are co-primes.
48x + 48y = 384
→ 48 ( x + y) = 384
→ x + y = $384/48$ = 8 ........... (i)
Possible and acceptable pairs of x and y satisfying this condition are : (1, 7) and (3, 5).
∴ Numbers are : 48 × 1 = 48 and 48 × 7 = 336
and 48 × 3 = 144 and 48 × 5 = 240
∴ Required difference = 336 – 48 = 288
