Answers With Explanation

1.    (A)
Required number = H.C.F. of (91 - 43), (183 - 91) and (183 - 43)
= H.C.F. of 48, 92 and 140 = 4.

2.    (C)
 Clearly, the numbers are (23 x 13) and (23 x 14)
Larger number = (23 x 14) = 322.

3.    (D)
 L.C.M. of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 is 120.
So, the bells will toll together after every 120 seconds (2 minutes).
In 30 minutes, they will toll together          (30/2) + 1 = 16 times.

4.    (A)
N = H.C.F. of (4665 - 1305), (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305)
    = H.C.F. of 3360, 2240 and 5600 = 1120.
       Sum of digits in N = (1 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 4

5.    (C)
      Greatest number of 4-digits is 9999.
      L.C.M. of 15, 25, 40 and 75 is 600.
      On dividing 9999 by 600, the remainder is 399.
      Required number (9999 - 399) = 9600.

6.    (C)
      Let the numbers be 37a and 37b.
      Then, 37a x 37b = 4107,
      ab = 3.
      Now, co-primes with product 3 are (1, 3).
      So, the required numbers are (37 x 1, 37 x 3) i.e., (37, 111).
      Greater number = 111.

7.    (A)
      Let the numbers be 3x, 4x and 5x.
      Then, their L.C.M. = 60x.
      So, 60x = 2400 or x = 40.
      The numbers are (3 x 40), (4 x 40) and (5 x 40).
      Hence, required H.C.F. = 40.

8.    (C)
      Given numbers are 1.08, 0.36 and 0.90.   H.C.F. of 108, 36 and 90 is 18,
       H.C.F. of given numbers = 0.18.

9.    (B)
      Let the numbers 13a and 13b.
      Then, 13a x 13b = 2028
       ab = 12.
      Now, the co-primes with product 12 are (1, 12) and (3, 4).

10.  (D)
      L.C.M. of 6, 9, 15 and 18 is 90.
      Let required number be 90k + 4, which is multiple of 7.
      Least value of k for which (90k + 4) is divisible by 7 is k = 4.
       Required number = (90 x 4) + 4   = 364.
