Question 6.
HCF and LCM of two numbers is 9 and 459 respectively. If one of the numbers is 27, find the other number. (2012)
-----------------------------------Solution----------------------------------:
We know,
1st number × 2nd number = HCF × LCM
⇒ 27 × 2nd number = 9 × 459
⇒ 2nd number = 9×45927 = 153
Question 7.
Find HCF and LCM of 13 and 17 by prime factorisation method. (2013)
-----------------------------------Solution----------------------------------:
13 = 1 × 13; 17 = 1 × 17
HCF = 1 and LCM = 13 × 17 = 221
Question 8.
Find LCM of numbers whose prime factorisation are expressible as 3 × 52 and 32 × 72. (2014)
-----------------------------------Solution----------------------------------:
LCM (3 × 52, 32 × 72) = 32 × 52 × 72 = 9 × 25 × 49 = 11025
Question 9.
Find the LCM of 96 and 360 by using fundamental theorem of arithmetic. (2012)
-----------------------------------Solution----------------------------------:
96 = 25 × 3
360 = 23 × 32 × 5
LCM = 25 × 32 × 5 = 32 × 9 × 5 = 1440
Question 10.
Find the HCF (865, 255) using Euclid’s division lemma. (2013)
-----------------------------------Solution----------------------------------:
865 > 255
865 = 255 × 3 + 100
255 = 100 × 2 + 55
100 = 55 × 1 + 45
55 = 45 × 1 + 10
45 = 10 × 4 + 5
10 = 5 × 2 + 0
The remainder is 0.
HCF = 5
Question 11.
Find the largest number which divides 70 and 125 leaving remainder 5 and 8 respectively. (2015)
-----------------------------------Solution----------------------------------:
It is given that on dividing 70 by the required number, there is a remainder 5.
This means that 70 – 5 = 65 is exactly divisible by the required number.
Similarly, 125 – 8 = 117 is also exactly divisible by the required number.
65 = 5 × 13
117 = 32 × 13
HCF = 13
Required number = 13
Question 12.
Find the prime factorisation of the denominator of rational number expressed as 6.12¯ in simplest form. (2014)
-----------------------------------Solution----------------------------------:
Let x = 6.12¯ …(i)
100x = 612.12¯ …(ii)
…[Multiplying both sides by 100]
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
99x = 606
x = 60699 = 20233
Denominator = 33
Prime factorisation = 3 × 11
Question 13.
Complete the following factor tree and find the composite number x. (2014)
-----------------------------------Solution----------------------------------:
y = 5 × 13 = 65
x = 3 × 195 = 585
Question 14.
Prove that 2 + 3√5 is an irrational number. (2014)
-----------------------------------Solution----------------------------------:
Let us assume, to the contrary, that 2 + 3√5 is rational.
So that we can find integers a and b (b ≠ 0).
Such that 2 + 3√5 = ab, where a and b are coprime.
Rearranging the above equation, we get
Question 23.
The length, breadth, and height of a room are 8 m 50 cm, 6 m 25 cm and 4 m 75 cm respectively. Find the length of the
longest rod that can measure the dimensions of the room exactly. (2015)
-----------------------------------Solution----------------------------------:
To find the length of the longest rod that can measure the dimensions of the room exactly, we have to find HCF.
L, Length = 8 m 50 cm = 850 cm = 21 × 52 × 17
B, Breadth = 6 m 25 cm = 625 cm = 54
H, Height = 4 m 75 cm = 475 cm = 52 × 19
HCF of L, B and H is 52 = 25 cm
Length of the longest rod = 25 cm
Question 24.
Three alarm clocks ring at intervals of 4, 12 and 20 minutes respectively. If they start ringing together, after how much time
will they next ring together? (2015)
-----------------------------------Solution----------------------------------:
To find the time when the clocks will next ring together,
we have to find LCM of 4, 12 and 20 minutes.
4 = 22
12 = 22 × 3
20 = 22 × 5
Question 26.
By using Euclid’s algorithm, find the largest number which divides 650 and 1170. (2017 OD)
-----------------------------------Solution----------------------------------:
Given numbers are 650 and 1170.
1170 > 650
1170 = 650 × 1 + 520
650 = 520 × 1 + 130
520 = 130 × 4 + 0
HCF = 130
The required largest number is 130.
Question 27.
Find the HCF of 255 and 867 by Euclid’s division algorithm. (2014)
-----------------------------------Solution----------------------------------:
867 is greater than 255. We apply the division lemma to 867 and 255, to get
867 = 255 × 3 + 102
We continue the process till the remainder is zero
255 = 102 × 2 + 51
102 = 51 × 2 + 0, the remainder is zero.
HCF = 51
Question 28.
Using Euclid’s division algorithm, find whether the pair of numbers 847, 2160 are coprime or not.
To find out the minimum (least) time when the bells toll together next, we find the LCM of 9, 12, 15.
-----------------------------------Solution----------------------------------:
Since a and b are integers, we get that a2b – 32 is rational and so √5 is rational.
But this contradicts the fact that √5 is irrational.
So we conclude that 3 + 2√5 is irrational.
Question 30.
There are 104 students in class X and 96 students in class IX in a school. In a house examination, the students are to be
evenly seated in parallel rows such that no two adjacent rows are of the same class. (2013)
(a) Find the maximum number of parallel rows of each class for the seating arrange¬ment.
(b) Also, find the number of students of class IX and also of class X in a row.
(c) What is the objective of the school administration behind such an arrangement?
-----------------------------------Solution----------------------------------:
104 = 23 × 13
96 = 25 × 3
HCF = 23 = 8
