Rewrite the number as 11(5 × 17 + 3), which is 11 × 88. As it's a product of two integers greater than 1, it's composite. This demonstrates the number can be factored into primes, proving it is composite .

Let the largest number be x. For 85: 85 = qx + 1. For 72: 72 = q'x + 2. Hence, x divides (85 - 1) and (72 - 2), i.e., 84 and 70; compute HCF of 84 and 70 to find x, which is 14 .

To show 12ⁿ cannot end with 0, note that a number ends in 0 if it's divisible by 10, i.e., it has factors 2 and 5. However, 12 = 2²×3 only includes factors of 2 and 3, lacking 5. Hence, any power of 12ⁿ will also lack 5, so it cannot end in 0 .

To find the LCM, find the prime factorizations: 60 = 2²×3×5, 84 = 2²×3×7, 108 = 2²×3³. LCM is the product of the highest powers of all primes present: 2²×3³×5×7 = 3780 .

7 - 2√5 is irrational because it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. If assumed to be rational, then 2√5 would also need to be rational (since 7 is rational, and the difference of rational numbers is rational), but √5 is known to be irrational, leading to a contradiction. Therefore, 7 - 2√5 is irrational .

The maximum number of participants per room is determined by the GCD of participants in each subject: GCD(36, 84, 108). Calculating this gives 12, so a maximum of 12 participants can be seated per room subject-wise .

The minimum distance is given by the LCM of their step lengths: 80 = 2⁴×5, 85 = 5×17, 90 = 2×3²×5. LCM = 2⁴×3²×5×17 = 12240 cm or 122.4 meters .

To find the value of k, use the relation HCF × LCM = product of the numbers. Given, HCF(2520, 6600) = 120 and LCM(2520, 6600) = 252 × k; thus, 120 × (252 × k) = 2520 × 6600. Solving gives k = 550 .

To determine the minimum number of steps, use the LCM of the step lengths divided by each friend's step length: LCM(80, 85, 90) = 12240 cm. The least steps are 12240 divided by each person's step size: e.g., for 80 cm, 12240/80 = 153 steps .

The LCM of the smallest prime number (2) and the smallest odd composite number (9) is 18. The LCM can be determined by finding the prime factorization of each number, which is 2 and 3² respectively, and taking the highest power of each prime. Thus, LCM = 2 × 3² = 18 .
