Solutions:

1.LCMof8,16,24,30and32is480
So,Requirednumberis4804=476
2.LCMof5,6,10,12and18is540
Ondividing(99999+3769)by540,theremainderis88
So,therequirednumberis9999988=99911
3.HCFof250cmand150cmis50cm,whichisthesideofthetile

So,therequirednumberoftiles=(250X150)/(50X50)=15
4.TimeafterwhichallthebellstoltogetheristheLCMof5,6,8,12and20.
i.e.,120seconds=20minutes
Thenumberoftimestheytolltogetherinonehour=60/2=30+1(beginningtone)
So,theansweris31
5.Asminimumnumberofcontainersarerequired,thesizeofthecontainershouldbe
maximumandthesizeisalsoequal.sosizeofthecontainerwillbeHCFof493,551and
435i.e.,29
So,requirednumberofcontainersis=(493+551+435)/29=51
6.TherequireddistanceistheLCMof63/14and81/18
LCMof63/14and81/18=LCM(87/14,145/18)
=>LCM(87,145)/HCF(14,18)=435/2=217.5m
7.LCM=28HCF
LCM+HCF=1740
=>28HCF+HCF=1740
HCF=1740/29=60andLCM=28X60
ifaandbaretwonumbers,then
LCMof(a&b)XHCFof(a&b)=aXb
28X60X60=xX420=>x=240
So,theothernumberis240

8.Circumferenceofthetrackis2r
=2X(22/7)X1400m=8800m

TimetakenbyAtocompleteoneround
=(8800m)/(176m/min)=(8800X60)/(176)=3000sec

TimetakenbyBtocompleteoneround
=(8800)/(110m/min)=(8800X60)/(110)=4800sec
TimetheymeettogetheratthestartingpointisLCMof3000and4800sec
i.e.,24000sec=62/3hours
So,theymeetatthestartingpointafter62/3hours
9.Wecanobservethatthedifferencebetweenthenumbersandtheirremaindersissame
i.e.,83=94=1510=2419=3227=3631=5
So,requiredansweris
LCM(8,9,15,24,32,36)5
=>28805=2875
10.Requiredansweris
HCF(357192,192252,357252)
=>HCF(165,60,105)=15
