7. L C M =112 , H C F=2; A=14
L C M × H C F=¿ The product of two numbers

112 ×2=14(B)
8 ×2=B

B=16
∴ The other number is 16 .
8. P is the common multiple of 5 , 4 ,8 , 9 .
2 5 ,4,8,9
¿ 5 , 1 ,2 , 9
L C M =2 ×2 ×5 ×2 ×9=360

360 ×1=360
360 ×2=720
360 ×3=1080 is a 4 digit number

∴ P can be 360 and 720 .

9. Time taken by Aakruthi to skip the rope for 1 time ¿ =2 seconds
30
Time taken by Prakruthi to skip the rope for 1 time
60
¿ =3 seconds
30
∴ Time taken by them to skip the rope simultaneously
¿ LCM ⁡(2 ,3)=6 seconds
∴ For every 6 seconds, they skip the rope simultaneously.
⇒ They skip the rope 10 times for every minute.

∴ In the given time, i.e., 10 minutes, they skip the rope simultaneously ¿ 10 ×10=100
times.

10. Multiply 48 with first three natural numbers

48 × 1 , 48× 2, and 48 × 3

Hence, the first three multiples of 48 are 48, 96 and 144 .

11. 48 can be represented as product of two numbers in the following ways:

1 ×48 ,2 ×24 ,16 × 3 ,12 × 4 , 8 ×6 .

Factors of 48 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 16, 24, 48.

Any three factors 48 can be 1, 2 an 3

12. All of the pairs are co-primes.

13. For a number to be divisible by 5 , the digit at the units place should be either 0
or 5 .

Out of the given numbers, only 5 is divisible by 5 .

14. 199 would be a prime number if it were not divisible by any prime number other
than itself.
It can be obtained that 199 is not divisible by 2, 3, 5 , 7 ,11 ,13 . Hence, it is a prime
number.
