1. The sum of the exponents of the prime factors in the prime factorisation of 9072, is
(i) 9 (ii) 2 (iii) 4 (iv) 6
2. If two positive integers a and b are expressible in the form 𝑎 = 𝑝𝑞 and 𝑏 = 𝑝3 𝑞; p, q being prime
2
numbers, then LCM(a, b) is
(i) 𝑝3 𝑞 (ii) 𝑝𝑞 (iii) 𝑞 3 𝑝 (iv) 𝑝3 𝑞 2
3. If 𝑛 = 23 × 34 × 54 × 7, then the number of consecutive zeroes in 𝑛, where 𝑛 is a natural number, is
(i) 2 (ii) 3 (iii) 4 (iv) 7
4. The LCM and HCF of two rational numbers are equal, then the numbers must be
(i) prime (ii) co-prime (iii) composite (iv) equal
5. If the LCM of 𝑎 and 18 is 36 and the HCF of 𝑎 and 18 is 2, then 𝑎 =
(i) 1 (ii) 2 (iii) 4 (iv) 3
6. Find the largest positive integer that will divide 398, 436 and 542 leaving remainders 7, 11 and 15
respectively.
7. Can two numbers have 18 as their HCF and 380 as their LCM ? Give reason.
8. A forester wants to plant 66 mango trees, 88 orange trees and 110 apple trees in equal rows (in terms of
number of trees). Also, he wants to make distinct rows of trees (i.e. only one type of trees in one row).
Find the number of minimum rows.
9. Given that √2 is irrational , prove that 2 + 3√2 is an irrational number.
10. In a seminar, the number of participants in Hindi, English and mathematics are 60, 84 and 108
respectively. Find the minimum number of rooms required if in each room the same number of
participants are to be seated and all of them being in the same subject.
11. Case Study Based : Traffic Lights
Traffic Lights are the lights used to control movement of traffics. They are placed on roads at
intersections and crossings. The different colours of light tell drivers what to do.
On GT road , three consecutive traffic lights change after every 36 s, 42 s, 72 s .
(a) Find the [HCF×LCM] for the numbers 36, 42 and 72.
(b) Check whether 21𝑛 can end with digit zero for any natural number 𝑛.
(c) If all the lights are switched on at 9:00 am, then at what time they will again change simultaneously.
