Answers with solution.

1.(b)
Other number= (693×11)/99
=77

2.(a)
Convert first all terms into cm.
i.e. 1575 cm, 1125cm, 765cm.
Now whenever we need to calculate this type of question, we need to find the HCF. HCF of above terms is 45.

3.(b)
In this type of question, its obvious we need to calculate the HCF, trick is
HCF of (1661 - 10) and (2045 -13)
= HCF (1651, 2032) = 127

4.(c)
HCF of (237-132), (132-62), (237-62)
= HCF of (70,105,175) = 35

5.(c)
LCM of 27-18-12-15 is 540.
After dividing 9999 by 540 we get 279 remainder.
So answer will be 9999-279 = 9720

6.(c)
L.C.M. of 60 and 62 seconds is 1860 seconds
1860/60 = 31 minutes
They will beep together at 10:31 a.m.

7.(b)
HCF of (400-9, 435-10, 541-14)
HCF of (391, 425, 527) = 17

8.(a)
HCF * LCM = 84942, because we know

Product of two numbers = Product of HCF and LCM

LCM = 84942/33 = 2574

9.(a)
Let the numbers be 3x and 4x. Then, their H.C.F. = x. So, x = 4.
So, the numbers 12 and 16.
L.C.M. of 12 and 16 = 48.

10.(b)
LCM of fraction=LCM of numerator /HCF of denominator
LCM of numerato=8 , HCF of denominator=3
=8/3
