LCM and HCF
-  About the number of pairs which have 16 as their H.C.F and 136 as their L.C.M. We can definitely say that ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum H.C.F. of two numbers divides their L.C.M. exactly. Since 16 is not a factor of 136, it states that there does not exist any pair of numbers with H,C.F. 16 and L.C.M. 136. Correct Option: DH.C.F. of two numbers divides their L.C.M. exactly. Since 16 is not a factor of 136, it states that there does not exist any pair of numbers with H,C.F. 16 and L.C.M. 136. 
-  Find the number lying between 900 and 1000 which when divided by 38 and 57, leaves in each case a remainder 23 ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum The least common multiple of 38 and 57 is 114 and the multiple which is between 900 and 1000 is 912. 
 Now, 912 + 23 i,e 935 lies between 900 and 1000 and when divided by 38 and 57 leaves in each case 23 as the remainder.
 Therefore, 935 is number required.Correct Option: AThe least common multiple of 38 and 57 is 114 and the multiple which is between 900 and 1000 is 912. 
 Now, 912 + 23 i,e 935 lies between 900 and 1000 and when divided by 38 and 57 leaves in each case 23 as the remainder.
 Therefore, 935 is number required.
-  Find the sum of three numbers which are prime to one another such that the product of the first two is 437 and that of the last two is 551 ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum From the question we see that the second number is a common factor of the two products and since the numbers are prime to one another. It is their . H. C. F . and is, therefore, 19. 
 ∴ The first number = 437 / 19 = 23
 and the third number = 551 / 19 = 29
 Hence, the number are 23, 19 and 29
 ∴ Sum = 23 + 19 + 29
 = 71.Correct Option: CFrom the question we see that the second number is a common factor of the two products and since the numbers are prime to one another. It is their . H. C. F . and is, therefore, 19. 
 ∴ The first number = 437 / 19 = 23
 and the third number = 551 / 19 = 29
 Hence, the number are 23, 19 and 29
 ∴ Sum = 23 + 19 + 29
 = 71.
-  What least number must be subtracted from 1936, so that the remainder when divided by 9, 10, 15 will leave in each case the same remainder 7 ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum The L.C.M of 9, 10, 15 = 90 
 On dividing 1936 by 90, the remainder = 46
 But a part of this remainder = 7
 Hence, the two numbers = 46 - 7 = 39.Correct Option: CThe L.C.M of 9, 10, 15 = 90 
 On dividing 1936 by 90, the remainder = 46
 But a part of this remainder = 7
 Hence, the two numbers = 46 - 7 = 39.
