Q.102 Easy HCF and LCM
The HCF of two numbers is 15 and their LCM is 450. If one of the numbers is 90, what is the other number?
A 60
B 75
C 85
D 105
Correct Answer:  B. 75
EXPLANATION

Using HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers:

15 × 450 = 90 × Other number

6750 = 90 × Other number

Other number = 6750 ÷ 90 = 75

Verification: HCF(90, 75) = 15 ✓ and LCM(90, 75) = 450 ✓

Q.103 Easy HCF and LCM
Two numbers have an HCF of 12. If one number is 60, find the other number such that their LCM is 180.
A 30
B 36
C 48
D 72
Correct Answer:  B. 36
EXPLANATION

Using the formula: HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers

12 × 180 = 60 × Other number

2160 = 60 × Other number

Other number = 2160 ÷ 60 = 36

Verification: HCF(60, 36) = 12 ✓ and LCM(60, 36) = 180 ✓

Q.104 Hard HCF and LCM
Four numbers are in the ratio 1:2:3:4 with HCF = 7. Find their LCM.
A 840
B 1680
C 420
D 2520
Correct Answer:  B. 1680
EXPLANATION

Numbers are 7, 14, 21, 28. 7 = 7, 14 = 2 × 7, 21 = 3 × 7, 28 = 2² × 7. LCM = 2² × 3 × 7 = 4 × 3 × 7 × 2 = 1680.

Q.105 Easy HCF and LCM
The HCF of two numbers is 6. If their LCM is 60 and one number is 12, find the other number.
A 20
B 24
C 30
D 18
Correct Answer:  C. 30
EXPLANATION

Using HCF × LCM = Product: 6 × 60 = 12 × other. 360 = 12 × other.

Other = 360 ÷ 12 = 30.

Q.106 Medium HCF and LCM
Find HCF of 144, 180, and 192.
A 12
B 6
C 18
D 24
Correct Answer:  A. 12
EXPLANATION

144 = 2⁴ × 3², 180 = 2² × 3² × 5, 192 = 2⁶ × 3.

Common factors: 2² and 3. HCF = 2² × 3 = 12.

Q.107 Medium HCF and LCM
Bell A rings every 12 minutes and Bell B rings every 18 minutes. After how many minutes will they ring together again if they ring at the same time now?
A 24 minutes
B 36 minutes
C 48 minutes
D 60 minutes
Correct Answer:  B. 36 minutes
EXPLANATION

They ring together after LCM(12, 18) minutes. 12 = 2² × 3, 18 = 2 × 3². LCM = 2² × 3² = 36 minutes.

A 12
B 18
C 24
D 15
Correct Answer:  B. 18
EXPLANATION

HCF × LCM = Product of numbers = 360. 360 = 20 × other number.

D 80
Correct Answer:  C. 120
EXPLANATION

Required number divides (247-7), (328-7), (409-7) = 240, 321, 402. HCF(240, 321, 402) = 120.
