Q:

# Which of the following has most number of divisors?

 A) 99 B) 101 C) 176 D) 182

Explanation:

99  = 1 x 3 x 3 x 11

101= 1 x 101

176= 1 x 2x 2 x 2 x 2 x 11

182= 1 x 2 x 7 x 13

So, divisors of 99 are 1, 3, 9, 11, 33, 99

divisors of 101 are 1,101

divisors of 176 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 22, 44, 88, 176

divisors of 182 are 1, 2, 7, 13, 14, 26, 91, 182

Hence , 176 hasthe most number of divisors.

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

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

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.

Q:

H.C.F of 4 x 27 x 3125, 8 x 9 x 25 x 7 and 16 x 81 x 5 x 11 x 49 is :

 A) 360 B) 180 C) 90 D) 120

Explanation:

4 x 27 x 3125 = $\inline \fn_jvn \small 2^{2}x3^{3}x5^{5}$ ;

8 x 9 x 25 x 7 = $\inline \fn_jvn \small 2^{3}x3^{2}x5^{2}x7$

16 x 81 x 5 x 11 x 49 = $\inline \fn_jvn \small 2^{4}x3^{4}x5x7^{2}x11$

H.C.F = $\inline \fn_jvn \small 2^{2}x3^{2}x5$ = 180.

Q:

The difference of two numbers is 14. Their LCM and HCF are 441 and 7. Find the two numbers ?

 A) 63 and 49 B) 64 and 48 C) 62 and 46 D) 64 and 49

Explanation:

Since their HCFs are 7, numbers are divisible by 7 and are of the form 7x and 7y

Difference = 14
=> 7x - 7y = 14
=> x - y = 2

product of numbers = product of their hcf and lcm
=> 7x * 7y = 441 * 7
=> x * y = 63

Now, we have
x * y = 63 , x - y = 2
=> x = 9 , y = 7

The numbers are 7x and 7y
=> 63 and 49
