Q.211 Medium HCF and LCM
The LCM of two numbers is 60 and their HCF is 4. If one number is 20, find the other.
A12
B16
C24
D30
Correct Answer:  A. 12
Explanation:

Using HCF × LCM = Product of numbers: 4 × 60 = 20 × other.

Therefore, other = 240 ÷ 20 = 12.

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.
A35
B45
C55
D65
Correct Answer:  B. 45
Explanation:

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

Numbers are 10, 15, 20.

Sum = 10 + 15 + 20 = 45.

Q.213 Hard HCF and LCM
What is the smallest 4-digit number divisible by 12, 18, and 24?
A1008
B1024
C1080
D1152
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.
A18
B42
C21
D14
Correct Answer:  B. 42
Explanation:

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

Therefore, HCF(84, 126) = 42.

Q.215 Easy HCF and LCM
If HCF of two numbers is 15 and their product is 2700, find their LCM.
A180
B270
C150
D200
Correct Answer:  A. 180
Explanation:

Using the formula: HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers. 15 × LCM = 2700, so LCM = 2700 ÷ 15 = 180.

Q.216 Medium HCF and LCM
The HCF of two numbers is 12 and their LCM is 72. If one number is 24, find the other number.
A48
B36
C42
D60
Correct Answer:  B. 36
Explanation:

Using HCF × LCM = Product of numbers: 12 × 72 = 24 × other number. 864 = 24 × other number.

Other number = 864 ÷ 24 = 36.
