Mark the correct alternative in the following:
The $LCM$ of $100$ and $101$ is:
AnswerCorrect option: A. $10100$
$100 = 1 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5 \times 5$
$101 = 1 \times 101$
Since, $100$ is a composite number and $101$ is a prime number.
Thus, their $LCM = 100 \times 101 = 10100$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(a).$

The largest number which divides $245$ and $1029$ leaving remainder $5$ is
AnswerRequired number $= H.C.F.$ of $245 - 5 = 240$ and $1029 - 5 = 1024$
$H.C.F.$ of $240 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5$
$1024 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2$
$= 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 16$

If $5\frac{7}{\text{x}}\times\text{y}\frac{1}{13}=12,$ where fractions are in their lowest terms, then $x - y$ is equal to
Answer$5\frac{7}{\text{x}}\times\text{y}\frac{1}{13}=12$
By Hit and Trial method.
Let $x = 9, y = 2$
Where the fractions are in their lowest terms, then $x$ should be maximum possible single digit and $y$ is minimum possible single digit.
Putting this value in equ. $(1)$
$5\times\frac{7}{9}\times2\times\frac{1}{13}=\frac{52}{9}\times\frac{27}{13}=12$

- ✓
$9763$
- B
$9673$
- C

Since on dividing by $3$ the remainder is $1,$ the sum of digits of the number must add upto a number, dividing which by $3$
we get remainder $1$ Since on dividing by $5$ remainder is $3,$ unit place digit has to be either $3$ or $8$ Since on dividing by $9$
remainder is $7,$ sum of digits should give remainder $7$ when divided by $9$
Only options $(A), (B)$ satisfy these criteria Since $(A)$ is bigger, we divide it by $7$ and find remainder which turns out to be $5$.

- A
$250m$
- B
$300m$
- ✓
$350m$
- D

AnswerCorrect option: C. $350m$
Let the length of the platform be $x$ metres
Length of the platform $= 300m$
Speed of the train $=\frac{300}{18}$
$=\frac{540}{3}\text{m/s}$
$\frac{50}{3}=\frac{\text{x}+300}{39}$
$50\times39=3\text{x}+900$
$1950=3\text{x}+900$
$3\text{x}=1950-900$
$3\text{x}=1050$
$\text{x}=\frac{1050}{3}$
$\text{x}=350$
So, the length of of the platform, $x = 350m$

- ✓
$9976$
- B
$9940$
- C
$9904$
- D
$9868$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $9976$
$18$ = $1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3$ = $2^1 \times 3^2$
$12 = 1 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3$ $= 2^2 \times 3^1$
$LCM$ of $18$ and $12 = 2^2 \times 3^2 = 36$
Largest $4-$digit number is $9999$
Now, if we divide $9999$ by $36,$ we will get $277.75$ as quotient.
The integer just less than $277.75$ is $277$
$\therefore$ Required number $= (36 × 277) + 4 = 9972 + 4 = 9976$

Fractions that are greater than $0$ but less than $1$ are called proper fractions.
In proper fractions, the numerator is less than the denominator.
When a fraction has a numerator that is greater than or equal to the denominator, then the fraction is an improper fraction.
An improper fraction is always $1$ or greater than $1.$
Now looking at options
$\frac{4}{3}=1.33>1$
$\frac{3}{2}=1.5>1$
$\frac{5}{3}=1.66>1$
$\frac{7}{11}=0.63>1$
So $\frac{7}{11}$is Not a Improper fraction.

Mark $(\checkmark)$ against the correct answer in the following:
The greatest number which divides $134$ and $167$ leaving $2$ as remainder in each case is:
AnswerSince we need $2$ as the remainder, we will subtract $2$ from each of the numbers.
$167 - 2 = 165$
$134 - 2 = 132$
Now, any of the common factors of $165$ and $132$ will be the required divisor.
On factorising:
$165 = 3 \times 5 \times 11$
$132 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 11$
Their common factors are $11$ and $3.$
So, $3 \times 11 = 33$ is the required divisor.

Mark the correct alternatiue in the following:
The ratio of two numbers is $3 : 4$ and their $HCF$ is $4.$ Their $LCM$ is:
AnswerTwo numbers are $3 \times HCF$ and $4 \times HCF$
i.e. $3 \times 4 = 12$ and $4 \times 4 = 16$
$LCM$ of $12$ and $16 = 48$
