Q.212 Hard HCF and LCM
Three numbers are in the ratio 2:3:4, and their HCF is 5. Find the sum of the numbers.
A 35
B 45
C 55
D 65
Correct Answer:  B. 45
Explanation:

Let numbers be 2k, 3k, 4k. HCF = k = 5.

Numbers are 10, 15, 20.

Q.213 Hard HCF and LCM
What is the smallest 4-digit number divisible by 12, 18, and 24?
A 1008
B 1024
C 1080
D 1152
Correct Answer:  A. 1008
Explanation:

12 = 2² × 3, 18 = 2 × 3², 24 = 2³ × 3. LCM = 2³ × 3² = 72.

Smallest 4-digit multiple: ⌈1000 ÷ 72⌉ × 72 = 14 × 72 = 1008.

Q.214 Easy HCF and LCM
Find the HCF of 84 and 126 using the Euclidean algorithm.
A 18
B 42
C 21
D 14
Correct Answer:  B. 42
Explanation:

Using Euclidean algorithm: 126 = 84 × 1 + 42, then 84 = 42 × 2 + 0.

Therefore, HCF(84, 126) = 42.
