A certain number of shoes and copies are to be distributed among students in such a way that each
student receives the same number of shoes and copies. The number of shoes available is 2400, and
the number of copies available is 2800. What is the maximum number of students among whom the
shoes and copies can be distributed?
A. 200
B. 100
C. 400
D. 800
Correct Answer:
C. 400
Explanation:
To find the maximum number of students, we need to find HCF of the number of shoes and
copies.
The HCF of 2400 and 2800 is 400.
Therefore, the shoes and copies can be distributed equally among 400 students.

The LCM of two prime numbers x and y (x > y) is 1147. The value of x+y is:
A. 78
B. 64
C. 68
D. 74
Correct Answer:
C. 68
Explanation:
Explanation:
Since x and y are prime numbers, their LCM is equal to their product.
So,x × y = 1147.
The prime factors of 1147 are 37 and 31. Since x > y,
x = 37 and y = 31.
Therefore, x + y = 37 + 31 = 68

7
The sum of two numbers is 160 and their product is 6000. Find the HCF of the numbers
A. 10
B. 20
C. 40
D. 30
Correct Answer:
B. 20
Explanation:
Explanation:
Let the numbers be x and y.
x+y = 160 —-(i)
Squaring both sides,
(x + y)2 = 25600
(x − y)2 + 4xy = 25600
(x − y)2 = 25600 − 4 ∗ 6000 (product is given as 6000)
(x − y)2 = 1600
x-y = 40 or x-y = -40 —(ii)
On solving i and ii, we get x = 100 or 60.
Putting the value of x in equation (i), we get y = 60 or 100.
So, HCF of 60 and 100 = 20.

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two numbers is 40 times their Highest Common Factor (HCF).
The sum of the LCM and HCF is 205. If one of the numbers is 25, then the other number is:
A. 20
B. 60
C. 30
D. 40
Correct Answer:
D. 40
Explanation:
Explanation:
Let the HCF be 'H' and the LCM be 'L'.
Given that L = 40H and L + H = 205.
40H + H = 205
41H = 205
H = 5.
L * H = 25 * Second number
40H * H = 25 * Second number
40 * 5 * 5 = 25 * Second number
On solving, Second number = 40

When 168, 210 and 264 are divided by the greatest number x, the remainder in each case is y. What
is the value of xy ?
A. Data insufficient
B. Cannot be determined
C. Infinity
D. 0
Correct Answer:
D. 0
Explanation:
[168, 210, 264]
