LCM of 4, 5 and 6 = 60
Quotient on dividing 800 by 60 = 13
Quotient on dividing 400 by 60 = 6
∴ Required answer = 13 – 6 = 7
Method 2 :
First number greater than 400
that is divisible by 60 = 420
Smaller number than 800 that
is divisible by 60 = 780
It is an Arithmetic Progression with common difference = 60
with common difference = 60
By tn
= a + (n – 1)d
780 = 420 + (n – 1) × 60
⇒ (n – 1) × 60 = 780 – 420 = 360
⇒ (n – 1) = 360 ÷ 60 = 6
⇒ n = 6 + 1 = 7Correct Option: A

If the first part be x, then second part = 37 – x.
∴ x × 5 + (37 – x) 11 = 227
⇒ 5x + 407 – 11x = 227
⇒ 6x = 407 – 227 = 180
⇒ x = 30
∴ Second part = 7Correct Option: D
