LCM and HCF
-  The number of prime factors in the expression (6)10 x (7)17 x (11)27 is ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Since 2, 3, 7, 11 are prime numbers and the given expression is 
 210 x 310 x 717 x 1127Correct Option: BSince 2, 3, 7, 11 are prime numbers and the given expression is 
 210 x 310 x 717 x 1127
 So the number of prime factors in the given expression is (10 + 10 + 17 + 27 ) = 64.
-  What least number must be subtracted from 1294 so that the remainder when divided by 9, 11, 13 will leave in each case the same remainder 6 ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum L. C .M of 9, 11, 13 is 1287 
 On dividing 1294 by 1287, the remainder is 7 .Correct Option: BL. C .M of 9, 11, 13 is 1287 
 On dividing 1294 by 1287, the remainder is 7 .
 ∴ 1 must be subtracted from 1294, so that 1293 when divided by 9, 11, 13 leaves in each case the same remainder 6 .
-  The least number which when divided by 5, 6, 7 and 8 leaves a remainder 3, but when divided by 9 leaves no remainder is ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum L.C.M of 5, 6 , 7, 8 is 840 
 So, the number is of the form 840k + 3
 Least value of k for which (840k + 3) is divisible by 9 is k = 2Correct Option: BL.C.M of 5, 6 , 7, 8 is 840 
 So, the number is of the form 840k + 3
 Least value of k for which (840k + 3) is divisible by 9 is k = 2
 ∴ Required number = (840 x 2 + 3 ) = 1683
-  The greatest number by which if 1657 and 2037 are divided the remainders will be 6 and 5 respectively, is ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Required number = H.C.F of (1657 - 6) and (2037 - 5) 
 = H.C.F of 1651 and 2032Correct Option: ARequired number = H.C.F of (1657 - 6) and (2037 - 5) 
 = H.C.F of 1651 and 2032
 = 127
-  Six bell commence tolling together and toll at intervals of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 s, respectively. In 60 min, how many times do they toll together?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum LCM of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 is 300. So, the bell will toll together after every 300s (5min). Correct Option: CLCM of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 is 300. So, the bell will toll together after every 300s (5min). 
 So, the number of times they toll together = 60/5 + 1=13
