model 4 addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with lcm & hcf Practice Questions Answers Test with Solutions & More Shortcuts

Question : 11 [SSC CHSL 2014]

The number between 3000 and 4000 which is exactly divisible by 30, 36 and 80 is

a) 3625

b) 3500

c) 3250

d) 3600

Answer: (d)

Firstly, we find the LCM of 30, 36 and 80.

230, 36, 80
215, 18, 40
315, 9, 20
55, 3, 20
1, 3, 4

LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 3 × 4 = 720

Required number = Multiple of 720 = 720 × 5 = 3600;

because 3000 < 3600 < 4000

Question : 12 [SSC CGL Tier-I 2010]

The sum of two numbers is 36 and their H.C.F and L.C.M. are 3 and 105 respectively. The sum of the reciprocals of two numbers is

a) $2/35$

b) $4/35$

c) $3/25$

d) $2/25$

Answer: (b)

Let the numbers be 3x and 3y.

∴ 3x + 3y = 36

⇒ x + y = 12 ... (i)

and 3xy = 105 ... (ii)

Dividing equation (i) by (ii), we have

$\text"x"/ \text"3xy" + \text"y"/ \text"3xy" = 12/105$

⇒ $1/\text"3y" + 1/\text"3x" = 4/35$

Question : 13

The LCM of two numbers is 12 times their HCF. The sum of the HCF and the LCM is 403. If one of the number is 93, then the other number is

a) 124

b) 134

c) 128

d) 138

Answer: (a)

Using Rule 1,

Let the HCF of numbers = H

Their LCM = 12H

According to the question,

12H +H = 403

⇒ 13H = 403

⇒ H = $403/13$ =31

⇒ LCM = 12 × 31

Now, First number × second number

= HCF × LCM

= 93 × Second Number

= 31 × 31 × 12

Second number = ${31 × 31 × 12}/93$ = 124

Question : 14

The LCM of two numbers is 495 and their HCF is 5. If the sum of the numbers is 100, then their difference is :

a) 10

b) 70

c) 46

d) 90

Answer: (a)

Using Rule 1,

Suppose 1st number is x then, 2nd number = 100 – x

∴ LCM × HCF = 1st number × 2nd number

→ 495 × 5 = x × (100 – x)

→ 495 × 5 = 100x – $x^2$

→ $x^2$ – 55x – 45x – 2475 = 0

→ (x – 45) (x – 55) = 0

→ x = 45 or x = 55

Then, difference = 55 – 45 = 10

Question : 15 [SSC CPO SI 2016]

If the product of three consecutive numbers is 210 then sum of the smaller number is :

a) 3

b) 5

c) 4

d) 11

Answer: (d)

2210
3105
535
7

210 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 5 × 6 × 7

∴ Required answer = 5 + 6 = 11
