Quantitative Aptitude

HCF × LCM = Product of numbers. 18 × 324 = 36 × other.

Therefore, other = 5832 ÷ 36 = 162.

16 = 2⁴, 24 = 2³ × 3, 36 = 2² × 3². LCM = 2⁴ × 3² = 16 × 9 = 144.

56 = 2³ × 7, 84 = 2² × 3 × 7, 140 = 2² × 5 × 7.

Common prime factors: 2 × 7 = 14.

Let numbers be 4k and 5k. HCF = k = 6.

Therefore, numbers are 24 and 30.

The larger number is 30.

144 = 2⁴ × 3². 196 = 2² × 7².

Common prime factors: 2².

Therefore, HCF = 4.

Using HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers: 15 × 180 = 45 × other number.

Therefore, other number = 2700 ÷ 45 = 60.

We need LCM(12, 15, 20). 12 = 2² × 3, 15 = 3 × 5, 20 = 2² × 5. LCM = 2² × 3 × 5 = 4 × 3 × 5 = 60.

Powers of 2 mod 5: 2¹≡2, 2²≡4, 2³≡3, 2⁴≡1, 2⁵≡2...

Pattern repeats every 4. 50 = 4×12 + 2, so 2⁵⁰ ≡ 2² ≡ 4 (mod 5).

Perfect squares between 100 and 200: 11² = 121, 12² = 144, 13² = 169, 14² = 196, 15² = 225 (exceeds 200).

So there are 4 perfect squares.

Wait: 10² = 100 (not between), so squares are 121, 144, 169, 196.

Count = 4.

Actually checking: we need squares from 11² to 14², which is 4 numbers.

Using HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers: 15 × 180 = 45 × x.

Therefore, 2700 = 45x, so x = 60.
