If $p$ and $q$ are two co-prime numbers, then HCF $(p, q)$ is:
Answer(d)
LCM of the given number $=p q$$
HCF=\frac{\text { product of numbers }}{\text { LCM of numbers }}=\frac{p \times q}{p q}=1
$
Two integers are co prime when they have no common factor other than 1.
Therefore the H.C.F is 1.
Hence the correct option is (d).

- ✓
- B
- C
Non terminating and repeating.
- D
Non-terminating and non-repeating
Answer(a)
We know by a theorem that, If $x=\frac{p}{q}$ be a rational number, such that the prime factorization of $q$ is in the form $2^n 5^m$, where $n, m$ are non-negative integers. Then $x$ has a decimal expansion which terminates.
Hence, Decimal expansion of $\frac{23}{2^3 5^2}$ will be terminating
So, the correct option is (a).

The decimal expansion of $\frac{6}{1250}$ will terminate after how many places of decimal?
AnswerExpress $6$ and $1250$ as a product of prime factors.
$\frac{6}{1250}=\frac{2 \times 3}{2 \times 5^4}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{6}{1250}=\frac{2 \times 3}{2 \times 5^4} \times \frac{2^3}{2^3}=\frac{48}{5^4 \times 2^4}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{6}{1250}=\frac{48}{(5 \times 2)^4}=\frac{48}{10000}=0.0048$
Hence, decimal expansion terminates after $4$ places of decimal. The correct option is $(d).$

The prime factorization of the denominator of the rational number expressed as $46 . \overline{123}$ is:
- A
$2^m \times 5^n$ Where m and n are integers
- B
$2^m \times 5^n$ Where m and n are positive integers
- C
$2^m \times 5^n$ Where m and n are rational numbers
- ✓
Not of the form $2^m \times 5^n$ where m and n are non-negative integers.
AnswerCorrect option: D. Not of the form $2^m \times 5^n$ where m and n are non-negative integers.
(d)
As the decimal expansion $46 . \overline{123}$ is a nonterminating repeating, the given number is a rational number of the form $\frac{p}{q}$ where q is not of the form $2^m \times 5^n$.
Let$
\begin{aligned}
x & =46 . \overline{123} \\
1000 x & =46123 . \overline{123}

If n is a natural number, then $2\left(5^{ n }+6^{ n }\right)$ always ends with
Answer(d)
Let us take an example of different powers of 5.
As, $5^1=5 ; 5^2=25 ; 5^3=125 ; 5^4=625$
It is clear from above example that $5^n$ will always end with 5.
Similarly, $6^n$ will always end with 6 .
So, $5^n+6^n$ will always end with 6 .
Also, $2\left(5^n+6^n\right)$ always ends with $2 \times 11=22$
i.e., it will always end with 2 .

If $a$ and $b$ are two coprime numbers, then $a^3$ and $b^3$ are
Answer(a)
As $a$ and $b$ are co-prime then $a^3$ and $b^3$ are also co-prime.
We can understand above situation with the help of an example.
Let $a=3$ and $b=4$$
a^3=3^3=27 \text { and } b^3=4^3=64
$
Clearly, $\operatorname{HCF}(a, b)=\operatorname{HCF}(3,4)=1$
Then, $\operatorname{HCF}\left(a^3, b^3\right)=\operatorname{HCF}(27,64)=1$

The greatest number which when divides $1251 , 9377$ and $15628$ leaves remainder $1, 2$ and $3$ respectively is
AnswerFirst subtract the remainders from their respective number,
$1251-1=1250$
$9377-2=9375$
$15628-3=15625$
According to the prime factorisation,
$1250=2 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5$
$9375=3 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5$
$15625=5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5$
$\operatorname{HCF}(1250,9375,15625)$
$=5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5$

Answer(c)
$3 . \overline{27}$Let $x =3 . \overline{27}$
Then $x =3.2727$
On multiplying by 100 on both side.
