                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Required time = LCM of 48, 72 and 108 seconds  
 ∴ LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 432 seconds = 7 minutes 12 secondCorrect Option: ARequired time = LCM of 48, 72 and 108 seconds  
 ∴ LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 432 seconds = 7 minutes 12 second
 ∴ Required time = 10 a.m. + 7 minutes 12 second = 10 : 07 : 12 hours
-  The LCM fo two prime numbers p and q, (p > q) is 161. The value of (3q – p) :
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum LCM of p and q = 161 
 ∴ pq = 23 × 7
 ∴ p = 23; q = 7
 ∴ 3q – p = 3 × 7 – 23Correct Option: ALCM of p and q = 161 
 ∴ pq = 23 × 7
 ∴ p = 23; q = 7
 ∴ 3q – p = 3 × 7 – 23
 The value of (3q – p) = 21 – 23 = – 2
-  The LCM of four consecutive numbers is 60. The sum of the first two numbers is equal to the fourth number. What is the sum of four numbers?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum We find LCM of 60 ,  
 ∴ 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
 i.e., Numbers = 2, 3, 4 and 5Correct Option: BWe find LCM of 60 ,  
 ∴ 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
 i.e., Numbers = 2, 3, 4 and 5
 ∴ Required sum = 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 14
