Q.313 Easy Numbers
Find the HCF of 144 and 180.
A 12
B 18
C 36
D 24
Correct Answer:  C. 36

Q.314 Easy Numbers
If a number is divided by 15, the quotient is 23 and remainder is 8. What is the number?
A 353
B 360
C 345
D 338
Correct Answer:  A. 353
EXPLANATION

Using the division algorithm: Number = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder. Number = (15 × 23) + 8 = 345 + 8 = 353.

Q.315 Easy Numbers
What is the smallest 4-digit number that is divisible by 18?
A 1008
B 1018
C 1000
D 1016
Correct Answer:  A. 1008
EXPLANATION

Smallest 4-digit number is 1000. For divisibility by 18, number must be divisible by both 2 and 9. 1000 ÷ 18 = 55.55... Next: 1008 ÷ 18 = 56. So 1008 is the answer.

Which of the following numbers is divisible by 11?
A 121
B 1234
C 5678
D 9876
Correct Answer:  A. 121
EXPLANATION

Using divisibility rule for 11: alternating sum of digits must be divisible by 11. For 121: (1-2+1) = 0, which is divisible by 11. Verification: 121 ÷ 11 = 11.

Q.317 Easy Numbers
If a number is divisible by both 6 and 8, what is the smallest such number?
A 24
B 48
C 12
D 36
Correct Answer:  A. 24
EXPLANATION

We need LCM(6, 8). 6 = 2×3, 8 = 2³. LCM = 2³×3 = 24. Therefore, 24 is the smallest number divisible by both 6 and 8.

Q.318 Easy Numbers
Find the HCF of 144 and 96.
A 12
B 24
C 48
D 36
Correct Answer:  C. 48
EXPLANATION

Using Euclidean algorithm: 144 = 96×1 + 48, 96 = 48×2 + 0. Therefore HCF = 48. Alternatively, 144 = 2^4×3^2 and 96 = 2^5×3. HCF = 2^4×3 = 48.

Q.319 Easy Numbers
If the sum of three consecutive integers is 45, what is the smallest integer?
A 13
B 14
C 15
D 16
Correct Answer:  B. 14
EXPLANATION

Let the integers be x, x+1, x+2. Then x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 45. So 3x + 3 = 45, thus 3x = 42, x = 14.

Q.320 Easy Numbers
A number when divided by 8 leaves remainder 5. Which of the following could be the number?
A 29
B 37
C 45
D 53
Correct Answer:  A. 29
