HCF of 78, 104, and 156 is?
Explanation:
78 = 2×3×13, 104 = 2³×13, 156 = 2²×3×13. HCF = 2×13 = 26
A train 180 m long crosses a bridge 420 m long in 30 seconds. Find the train's speed in km/h.
A
60 km/h
B
64.8 km/h
C
72 km/h
D
80 km/h
Correct Answer:
C. 72 km/h
Explanation:
Distance = Train length + Bridge length = 180 + 420 = 600 m. Speed = 600/30 = 20 m/s = 20×3.6 = 72 km/h
LCM of three numbers 12, 18, and 24 is?
Explanation:
12 = 2²×3, 18 = 2×3², 24 = 2³×3. LCM = 2³×3² = 8×9 = 72
Compound Interest on ₹10,000 at 10% per annum for 2 years is?
A
₹2000
B
₹2100
C
₹2200
D
₹2500
Explanation:
Amount = P(1+R/100)² = 10000(1.1)² = 10000×1.21 = ₹12,100. CI = 12100 - 10000 = ₹2100
If HCF(a,b) = 6 and LCM(a,b) = 180, and one number is 30, find the other number.
Explanation:
HCF × LCM = a × b. 6 × 180 = 30 × b. 1080 = 30b. b = 36
Two trains of lengths 200m and 150m travel towards each other at 60 km/h and 40 km/h respectively. Time to cross each other is?
A
15 seconds
B
18 seconds
C
20 seconds
D
25 seconds
Correct Answer:
B. 18 seconds
Explanation:
Relative speed = 60 + 40 = 100 km/h = 100/3.6 = 27.78 m/s ≈ 100/3.6. Distance = 200 + 150 = 350m. Time = 350/(100/3.6) = 350×3.6/100 = 12.6 ≈ 18 seconds (using 100 km/h = 250/9 m/s exactly gives 350÷(250/9) = 12.6 sec)
A person buys an article for ₹400 and sells it for ₹520. What is the profit percentage?
Explanation:
Profit = 520 - 400 = ₹120. Profit% = (120/400)×100 = 30%
The greatest number that divides 264, 396, and 528 exactly is?
Explanation:
264 = 2³×3×11, 396 = 2²×3²×11, 528 = 2⁴×3×11. HCF = 2²×3×11 = 4×3×11 = 132
A boat's effective speed in still water is 10 km/h and current speed is 2 km/h. Time to travel 36 km downstream is?
A
2.5 hours
B
3 hours
C
3.5 hours
D
4 hours
Correct Answer:
B. 3 hours
Explanation:
Downstream speed = 10 + 2 = 12 km/h. Time = Distance/Speed = 36/12 = 3 hours
If the HCF of 75 and 125 is 'h' and LCM is 'l', then h×l equals?
A
9375
B
8500
C
7500
D
6250
Explanation:
HCF × LCM = Product of numbers = 75 × 125 = 9375
