Q:

A rectangular courtyard 3.78 meters long 5.25 meters wide is to be paved exactly with square  tiles, all of the same size. what is the largest size of the tile which could be used for the purpose?

 A) 14 cms B) 21 cms C) 42 cms D) None of these

Answer:   B) 21 cms

Explanation:

3.78 meters =378 cm = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 7

5.25 meters=525 cm = 5 × 5 × 3 × 7

Hence common factors are 3 and 7

Hence LCM = 3 × 7 = 21

Hence largest size of square tiles that can be paved exactly with square tiles is 21 cm.

Q:

Three different containers contain 1365 litres, 1560 litres and 1755 litres of mixtures of milk and water respectively. What biggest measure that can measure all the different quantities exactly ?

 A) 37 lit B) 97 lit C) 129 lit D) 195 lit

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 195 lit

Explanation:

From the given data,

containers contain mixtures of milk and water as 1365 lit, 1560 lit and 1755 lit.

Biggest measure that can measure all these different quantities exactly can be given by

HCF of (1365, 1560, 1755)

That can be found as

HCF of 1365, 1755 = 195

Now, HCF of 195 and 1560 = 195

Hence, biggest measure that can measure all the given different quantities exactly is 195 lit.

Q:

What is a Common Multiple?

Answer

If the Multiples for two or more numbers which are Common, then those Multiples are said to be Common Multiples.

For Example :

Multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30,...

Multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30,...

Here common multiples of 3 & 5 upto 30 are 15, 30.

Q:

LCD of 12 and 18

 A) 36 B) 42 C) 12 D) 6

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 36

Explanation:

LCD is nothing but Lowest or Least Common Denominator

Here LCD of 12 and 18 means LCD of two fractions with denominators 12 and 18 respectively.

Therefore, LCM of 12 & 18 = 6 x 3 x 2 = 36

•  How to calculate LCD ::

The lowest common denominator or least common denominator (LCD) is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of a set of fractions.

Q:

If the HCF of 210 and 55 is expressible in the form of 210 x 5 + 55P, then value of P = ?

 A) -23 B) 27 C) 16 D) -19

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) -19

Explanation:

HCF of 210 and 55 is 5

Now, 210x5 + 55P = 5

=> 1050 + 55P = 5

=> 55P = -1045

=> P = -1045/55

=> P = -19.

Q:

A drink vendor has 368 liters of Maaza, 80 liters of Pepsi and 144 liters of Sprite. He wants to pack them in cans, so that each can contains the same number of liters of a drink, and doesn't want to mix any two drinks in a can. What is the least number of cans required ?

 A) 47 B) 46 C) 37 D) 35

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 37

Explanation:

The number of liters in each can = HCF of 80, 144 and 368 = 16 liters.
Number of cans of Maaza = 368/16 = 23
Number of cans of Pepsi = 80/16 = 5
Number of cans of Sprite = 144/16 = 9
The total number of cans required = 23 + 5 + 9 = 37 cans.
