1) Find the least number which should be added to 2430 so that the sum is exactly divisible by 5, 4 and 2
- Published on 07 Jul 17

a. 3
b. 10
c. 13
d. 33
Answer Explanation
ANSWER: 10
Explanation:
L.C.M of 5, 4, and 2 = 20. On dividing 2430 by 20, the remainder is 10.
Therefore, number to be added = (20 - 10) = 10

32) The ratio of two numbers is 4 : 5 and their H.C.F is 4. Find their L.C.M.

a. 96
b. 80
c. 73
d. 48
Answer Explanation
ANSWER: 80
Explanation:
Let the numbers be 4x and 5x.

H.C.F = x. So, x=4.

So, the numbers are 16 and 20
L.C.M of 16 and 20 = 80.

33) A man decides to pave with square tiles his hall which is 4.8 metres long and 5.38 metres wide. Find the largest size of

a. 12 p.m.
b. 1 p.m.
c. 4 p.m.
d. 5 p.m.
Answer Explanation
ANSWER: 5 p.m.
Explanation:
The L.C.M. of 12, 20 and 35 is 420. Hence, all 3 bells beep together after 420 minutes = 7 hours
Hence, the 3 bells will beep together 7 hours after 10 a.m. i.e. at 5 p.m.

35) The least number which is a multiple of 11 and when divided by 3, 5 and 9 leaves 2 as remainder:
- Published on 06 Jul 15

a. 297
b. 319
c. 407
d. None of these
Answer Explanation
ANSWER: 407
Explanation:
The L.C.M. of 3, 5 and 9 is 45.
Hence, the number is of the form (45a + 2).
The least value of ‘a’ for which (45a + 2) is multiple of 11 is 9.
Therefore, the number is 407.

36) LCM of two numbers is 495. HCF of these numbers is 5. If the sum of the numbers is 100, find out the difference
between the two numbers.
- Published on 15 Jun 15

a. 15
b. 12
c. 10
d. 20
Answer Explanation
ANSWER: 10
Explanation:
It is given that sum of two numbers is 100. Let the two numbers be x and 100 – x and HCF is 5 and LCM is 495

=> We need to apply the formula: HCF x LCM = Product of two numbers

Which gives x(100 – x) = 495 x 5

Solving the equation we get a quadratic which looks like this:

x2 – 100x + 2475 = 0

=> (x – 55)(x- 45) = 0

Therefore, Two numbers are 55 and 45
