108

HCF of numbers = 21
Numbers = 21x and 21y
Where x and y are prime to each other.
Ratio of numbers = 1 : 4
Larger number = 21 × 4 = 84

#19. What least number must be subtracted from 1936 so that the resulting number when divided by 9, 10 and 15 will leave in each case the same remainder 7 ?

LCM of 9, 10 and 15 = 90
The multiple of 90 are also divisible by 9, 10 or 15.
21 × 90 = 1890 will be divisible by them.
Now, 1897 will be the number
that will give remainder 7.
Required number = 1936 – 1897 = 39

$5\frac12$ %

8 %

7 %

6 %

#24. The HCF of two numbers is 8. Which one of the following can never be their LCM ?

HCF of two numbers is 8.This means 8 is a factor common to both the numbers. LCM is common multiple for the two numbers, it is divisible by the two numbers. So, the required answer = 60

#25. $\sqrt{\frac{0.49}{0.25}}$ + $\sqrt{\frac{0.81}{0.36}}$ is equal to

$7\frac{9}{10}$

$2\frac{9}{10}$

$\frac{9}{10}$

$9\frac{9}{10}$

$16\frac {1}{3}$ %

$16\frac {2}{3}$ %

$15\frac {2}{3}$ %

$15\frac {1}{3}$ %

#27. Find the least multiple of 23, which when divided by 18, 21 and 24 leaves the remainder 7, 10 and 13 respectively.

3013

3024

3002

3036

LCM of 18, 21 and 24
LCM = 2 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 4 = 504
Now compare the divisors with their respective remainders. We observe that in all the cases the remainder is just 11 less than their respective divisor. So the number can be given by 504 K – 11 Where K is a positive integer
Since 23 × 21 = 483
We can write 504 K – 11
= (483 21) K – 11, = 483 K (21K – 11)
483 K is multiple of 23, since 483 is divisible by 23.
So, for (504K – 11) to be multiple of 23, the remainder (21K – 11) must be divisible by 23.
Put the value of K = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6, ….. and so on successively.
We find that the minimum value of K for which (21K – 11) is divisible by 23. is 6, (21 × 6 – 11)
= 115 which is divisible by 23.
Therefore, the required least number
= 504 × 6 – 11 = 3013

#28. The number 9⁶ – 11 when divided by 8 would leave a remainder of

#29. The average of 30 numbers is 12. The average of the first 20 of them is 11 and that of the next 9 is 10. The last number is :

= 30 × 12-20 × 11 − 9 × 10
= 360 − 220 − 90
= 360 − 310 = 50
