Answer with Explanation: Let a, b, c, d be the Four Prime numbers Then abc = 385 1 & bcd = 1001 2 Now gcd of abc & bcd i.e., (abc, bcd) = bc (a,d) = bc x 1 ( a & d are prime) Also (abc, bcd) = (gcd 385, 1001 ) = 77
bc = 77 From 2

bcd = 1001 d=
1001 1001 = = 13 bc 77

Difficulty Level : Easy Basic Formula:

Moderately easy

Difficult

Given x + y = 528 Greatest common divisor of x, y i.e HCF of (x, y) = 33

Answer with Explanation: Considering the multiples of 33 we have (33, 66, 99, 132, 165, 198, 231, 264, 297, 330, 363, 396, 429, 462, 495) we can stop here because the next factor of 33 is 528. Since we have the sum of multiples of 33 are 528, we will combine these multiples as to get their sum as 528.
we get (33, 495) (66, 462) (99, 429) (132, 396) (165, 363) (198, 330)

(231,297) But we have a condition that HCF of (x, y) = 33


Eliminating the ones which does not satisfies the condition we get (33,

495) (99, 429) (165, 363) (231, 297)


The number of pairs of numbers satisfying the above condition is 4 .

Answer with Explanation: Given a unknown number x when divided by 5,9,13. We get remainders 4,8 &12 . (i.e.)
x +4 = x 5

x = 5 & 4 = x-1 (remainder)

x +8 = x x = 9 & 8 = x-1 (remainder) 9 x +12 = x x =13 & 12 = x-1 (remainder) 13
