Q.3 Medium HCF and LCM 14 Apr 2026
The ratio of two numbers is 4:5 and their HCF is 8. Find the numbers.
A24 and 30
B32 and 40
C28 and 35
D36 and 45
Correct Answer:  B. 32 and 40
EXPLANATION

Let numbers be 4k and 5k. HCF = k = 8. So numbers are 32 and 40

Q.4 Easy HCF and LCM 14 Apr 2026
Two trains traveling at 45 km/h and 55 km/h are moving towards each other on parallel tracks. If they are 400 km apart, in how many hours will they meet?
A3 hours
B4 hours
C5 hours
D6 hours
Correct Answer:  B. 4 hours
EXPLANATION

Relative speed = 45 + 55 = 100 km/h. Time = Distance/Speed = 400/100 = 4 hours

Q.5 Medium HCF and LCM 14 Apr 2026
A man sells two articles. One at 20% profit and another at 20% loss. If both have the same cost price of ₹1000, what is the overall profit or loss?
ANo profit, no loss
B4% profit
C4% loss
D5% profit
Correct Answer:  A. No profit, no loss
EXPLANATION

When selling multiple articles at different profit/loss percentages with equal cost prices, we calculate the overall result by comparing total selling price to total cost price.

Step 1: Calculate selling price of first article (20% profit)

Cost price of first article = ₹1000

Selling price with 20% profit:

\[S_1 = 1000 + 20\% \text{ of } 1000 = 1000 + 0.20 \times 1000 = ₹1200\]

Step 2: Calculate selling price of second article (20% loss)

Cost price of second article = ₹1000

Selling price with 20% loss:

\[S_2 = 1000 - 20\% \text{ of } 1000 = 1000 - 0.20 \times 1000 = ₹800\]

Step 3: Find total cost price and total selling price

\[\text{Total Cost Price} = 1000 + 1000 = ₹2000\]
\[\text{Total Selling Price} = 1200 + 800 = ₹2000\]

Step 4: Calculate overall profit or loss

\[\text{Overall Profit/Loss} = \text{Total S.P.} - \text{Total C.P.} = 2000 - 2000 = ₹0\]

Since the total selling price equals the total cost price, there is no profit and no loss.

Answer: No profit, no loss (Option A)

Q.6 Medium HCF and LCM 14 Apr 2026
Compound Interest on ₹8000 at 10% per annum for 2 years is?
A₹1600
B₹1680
C₹1720
D₹1800
Correct Answer:  B. ₹1680
EXPLANATION

Amount = P(1 + r/100)^t = 8000(1.1)^2 = 8000 × 1.21 = ₹9680. CI = 9680 - 8000 = ₹1680

Test
Q.7 Easy HCF and LCM 14 Apr 2026
If HCF(a, b) = 15 and LCM(a, b) = 450, and a = 75, find b.
A90
B100
C120
D150
Correct Answer:  A. 90
EXPLANATION

HCF × LCM = a × b. 15 × 450 = 75 × b. 6750 = 75b. b = 90

Q.8 Easy HCF and LCM 14 Apr 2026
An article is sold at ₹1200 with a loss of 20%. What was the cost price?
A₹1400
B₹1500
C₹1600
D₹1800
Correct Answer:  B. ₹1500
EXPLANATION

Selling Price = Cost Price × (1 - Loss%). 1200 = CP × 0.8. CP = 1200/0.8 = ₹1500
