Number System - 4 But it is not a perfect square

120 = 23  31  51
1. (a) So, it should be multiplied by (2  3  5) to become a
a  b = HCF (a, b)  LCM (a, b) perfect square
210  b = 30  2310 So, required value = 120  30 = 3600
Alternate Method:
30 × 2310 Use options & check which value is divisible by the given
b= = 330
210 numbers and is a perfect square.
2. (b) 8. (b)
Let HCF = x LCM of (8, 11, 24) = 264
So, LCM= 12x Required number = 264 – 5 = 259
Sum = 403 9. (b)
x + 12x = 403 LCM of (7, 12 & 16) is 336
13x = 403 Now, 1856 when divided by 336, the remainder is 176
x = 31 So, 336 – 176 i.e. 160 must be added to 1856 to make it
So, HCF = 31 & LCM = 12  31 = 372 divisible by 336
Now, a  b = HCF (a, b)  LCM (a, b) 10. (c)
93  b = 31  372 LCM of (5, 8, 12, 16, 20) = 240
least sin digit number (which is a multiple of 240) = 100080
31 × 372 To get remainder 3, 100080 + 3 = 100083
b= = 124
93 11. (d)
3. (a) HCF of (191– 4, 216– 7, 266– 13) = HCF of (187, 209, 243)= 11
LCM of (9, 12, 18) = 180 12. (a)
So, they will to 11 after 180 minutes or 3 hours Difference = 1110 – 864 = 246
So, Time is 8 + 3 = 11 AM The number should be a factor of 246
4. (a)
HCF of (403, 465 & 496) = 31 Type -1
So, capacity of each bottle = 31 1.1. (b)
Now, number of bottles required LCM should always be the multiple of HCF because HCF is
406 465 496 contained in LCM.
= + + Or we can say that HCF should always be the factor of LCM.
31 31 31
Here, 35 is not the factor of 120
= 13 + 15 + 16 = 44 1.2. (c)
5. (c) HCF of all the four numbers is the HCF of 48 & 36 i.e. 12
The size of the largest possible square slab should be the
1.3. (c)
HCF of the dimensions.
LCM (a, b)  HCF (a, b) = a  b
HCF (250 & 150) = 50
So, slab size should be 50  50  b = 35
Difference = 35 – 21 = 14
250 × 150 1.4. (c)
Number of slabs required = = 5 × 3 = 15
50 × 50 LCM (a, b) = 576 = 26  32
6. (b)
a = 22  32
Let the numbers be 6x & 6y where x & y are coprime to each
other. for LCM = 576, min value of b = 26 = 64
6x + 6y = 60 1.5. (b)
x + y = 10 HCF + LCM = 1150
Now, we have to find the pairs of the values of x & y which LCM = 45 HCF
are coprime to each other.  46 HCF = 1150
Possible pairs are (1, 10) & (3, 7)
 HCF = 25
So, only two set of numbers exists.
and LCM = 1125
Pair Number Now,
(1, 10) 6, 60 (6  1, 6  10) HCF (a, b)  LCM (a, b) = a  b
(3, 7) 18, 42 (6  3, 6  7)
25  1125 = 125  b
7. (d)  b = 225
LCM of (3, 4, 5, 6, 8) = 120 1.6. (a)
HCF = 11

 LCM = 385 = 5  7  11 X=?
11 is common to both the numbers. So, the number between LCM  2424  272  324
75 and 125  11  7 = 77.
1.7. (d) X must contain 324 and contain anything from 20 to 272

1.8. (d)
HCF = x a  can be anything from 0 to 3  4 values
LCM= 20x b  should be 3  1 value.
LCM + HCF = 2520 1.16. (c)
20x + x = 2520 66 = 26  36
21x = 2520 88 = 224
x = 120 LCM = 224  312
So, HCF = 120 & LCM = 20  120 = 2400 The third number should contain 312. Also in the third num-

Need to check only prime numbers from 101 to 105, which
b = 600 are 101 and 103.

To draw up the soldiers in the farm of a solid square, the LCM (7, 12, 16) = 336
total number of soldiers should be a perfect square. Multiple of 336 closest to 1852 is 1680
(K  K = K2) So, 1852 – 1689  172 is to be substracted.
Now, in perfect square the power of prime base should be 1.34. (c)

So, it should be multiplied by 5, so that the power of 5 So the number will be of the form 36K + 3
becomes even. 999 when divided by 36, the remainder is 27
Number of soldiers = (22  32  51)  51 So, the required number = 999 – 27 + 3

The H.C.F of 2002 and 1820 is 2  7  13 = 182 Negative remainder = – 2
So, maximum number of students will be 182. So the number should be of the from 420K – 2
1.27. (a) 10000 when divided by 420, the remainder is 340.
HCF of (96, 240, 336) = 48 So, the required number = 10000 + 420 – 340 – 2
