MCQ 21 Mark
If $p$ and $q$ are two co-prime numbers, then HCF $(p, q)$ is:
  • A
    $p$
  • B
    $q$
  • C
    $p q$
  • 1
Answer
Correct option: D.
1
(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).

MCQ 51 Mark
The decimal expansion of $\frac{6}{1250}$ will terminate after how many places of decimal?
  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $3$
  • $4$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$4$
Express $6$ 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 $(d).$

MCQ 61 Mark
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.
Answer
Correct 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}
\end{aligned}
$
$
(2)-(1) \Rightarrow \quad \frac{46077}{999}=x
$
Hence, the correct option is (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 .

MCQ 91 Mark
If $a$ and $b$ are two coprime numbers, then $a^3$ and $b^3$ are
  • Coprime
  • B
    Not coprime
  • C
    Even
  • D
    Odd
Answer
Correct option: A.
Coprime
(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, $\operatorname{HCF}\left(a^3, b^3\right)=\operatorname{HCF}(27,64)=1$

MCQ 101 Mark
The greatest number which when divides $1251 , 9377$ and $15628$ leaves remainder $1, 2$ and $3$ respectively is
  • A
    $575$
  • B
    $450$
  • C
    $750$
  • $625$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$625$
First subtract the remainders from their respective number,
$1251-1=1250$
$9377-2=9375$
$15628-3=15625$
According to the prime factorisation,
$1250=2 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5$
$9375=3 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5$
$15625=5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5$
$\operatorname{HCF}(1250,9375,15625)$
$=5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5$
$=625$

If the sum of $\text{LCM}$ and $\text{HCF}$ of two numbers is $1260$ and their $\text{LCM}$ is $900$ more than their $\text{HCF}$, then the product of two numbers is
  • A
    $203400$
  • $194400$
  • C
    $198400$
  • D
    $205400$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$194400$
According to the question.
$\because LCM=900+HCF$
$LCM-HCF=900 \ldots \text { (i) }$
$\text { and } LCM+HCF=1260 ......(ii)$
Solving eq $(i)$ and $(ii)$, we get,
$2 LCM=2160$
$\Rightarrow LCM=\frac{2160}{2}=1080$
Putting the value of LCM in eq. (ii), we get
$HCF=1260-1080=180$
$\because \text { Product of two numbers }=LCM \times HCF$
$=1080 \times 180=194400$

MCQ 451 Mark
If two positive integers $a$ and $b$ are expressible in the form $a = pq ^2$ and $b = p ^3 q ; p , q$ being prime numbers, then $\operatorname{LCM}(a, b)$ is
  • A
    pq
  • B
    $p ^3 q ^3$
  • $p ^3 q ^2$
  • D
    $p ^2 q ^2$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$p ^3 q ^2$
(c)
$a = pq ^2$
$b=p^3 q$
$\operatorname{LCM}( a , b )= p ^3 q ^2$.
