GR 10 - REVISION – CH 1 – REAL NUMBERS-ANSWERS

1.

Ans: 17 x 13 = 221. P=17, q=13, 3p-q=3x17-13=51-13=38

2.

Ans: 44123/1000. 1000 = 23 x 53. The prime factors are 2,5

3. The largest number which divides 60 and 75, leaving remainders 8 and 10 respectively, is
(a) 260 (b) 75 (c) 65 (d) 13
Ans: HCF of (60-8)=52 and (75-10)=65 which is 13
4. The least number that is divisible by all the numbers from 1 to 8 (both inclusive) is
(a) 840 (b) 2520 (c) 8 (d) 420
Ans: LCM of 1 to 8 = LCM of 5,6,7,8 = 840
5. If the HCF of 408 and 1032 is expressible in the form 1032 x 2 + 408 × p, then the value
of p is
(a) 5 (b) -5 (c) 4 (d) -4
Ans: HCF of 408, 1032 = 24
1032 x 2 + 408 x p = 24, 2064 + 408p = 24
408p = 24-2064 = -2040, p= -2040/408 = -5
6. If HCF (16, y) = 8 and LCM (16, y) = 48, then the value of y is
(a) 24 (b) 16 (c) 8 (d) 48
Ans: 16y = 8 × 48,

7.
8.

Ans: HCF of (70-5)=65 and (125-8)=117 which is 13

14.

15.

Ans: LCM of 12, 42 = 84

10m + 4 = 84, 10m = 80 m= 8
16.

17.

18. Any pair of consecutive numbers are

always coprime. Therefore their HCF is 1
and LCM is their product

19.

20.

Ans: LCM of 15, 24, 36 = 360

21.

22.

23.

Ans: L + H = 1260 and L = H + 900

H+900+H = 1260, 2H = 1260-900 = 360, H = 360/2 = 180
L = 900+180=1080
Product of two numbers = LCM x HCF = 1080x180 = 194400
24.

Ans: As the power of 3 in the LCM is 2, the highest power of 3 is 2.

Therefore n=2
25.

Ans: LCM of 16, 20, 24 =

To make 240, a perfect square it should be multiplied with 3x5=15

240x15 = 3600
26.

HCF of 7m, 3m 85cm, 12m 95cm= LCM of 700cm, 385cm, 1295cm

27.

(a) 12 (b) 18 (c) 101 (d) 91

28.

Here we need to find difference between given numbers. If two

numbers give the same remainder when divided by some other
number, then their difference must give a remainder zero when
divided by that number
We need to find HCF of 91-43 = 48, 183-91=92, 193-43=140
HCF of 48, 92, 140 = 4
29.

Ans: LCM of 35, 56, 91 = 35=5x7, 56=23x7, 91=7x13

= 23x5x7x13 = 3640
To leave remainder 7 in each case, the number = 3640+7 = 3647
30.

31.

32.

33.

34.

To find when they will meet again, we need to divide 720 by 24

(hrs of a day) = 720/24 = 30 days
35

36.
As both the numbers are divisible only by 3,5,15,25 and 75, the
Highest common factor is 75
37.
38.
Ans: No. 380 is not divisible by 18. HCF is a factor of LCM. Here 18 is
not a factor of 380.

39.

40.

For 12n to end with 0, it should have 2 as well as 5 in its Prime

factors to end with 0, Also to end with 5, it requires at least a single
multiple of 5 in its Prime Factors, So 12n cannot end with the digit 0
or 5
