GCD : Greatest common divisor

LCM of 2,3,4,5 then reciprocal

Ans: 60

Question 16

The least number which when divided by 5,6,4 and 3 leaves a remainder 1 but when divided by 7 leaves no remainder.

Answer 16

LCM of 5,6,4,3 = 60
60+1
But not divisible by 7
Multiples check!

602 + 1 = 121
603 + 1 = 181
60*5 + 1 = 301

Ans: 301

Question 17

Five bells begin to toll together and toll respectively at intervals of 6, 5, 7, 10 and 12 seconds. How many times will they toll together in one hour excluding the one at the start ? A. 7 times B. 8 times C. 9 times D. 11 times

Answer 17

To toll together we need to take the LCM of each seconds of bell.

L.C.M. of 6, 5, 7, 10 and 12 = 420.

420/60 = 7 minutes

So, the bells will toll together after every 7 minutes.

Therefore, in 1-hour (or 60 minutes), the bells will toll together 8 times (7 x 8 = 56), excluding the one at the start.

Answer 27

* 2 2ab ________ = _______ 1/a + 1/b a+b * 3 3abc ________ = ____________ 1/a + 1/b + 1/c ab+bc+ac

Question 28

The average of 5 consecutive odd no is 25, find the largest no?

Answer 28

29 When the difference between two consecutive numbers is same then average is the middle value. Difference between all the odd numbers are to show the average is 25 that is it is the middle value so the previous two and the after two values can be found out.

Question 29

Average age of ABCD 5 years ago was 45 years so their average age in the current year would be.

Answer 29

45+5 = 50

Question 30

A motorist travels to a place 150 km away at an average speed of 50 km per hour and returns at 30 km/h is average speed for the whole journey in kilometre per hour is?

Answer 30

Use harmonic mean to directly find the answer. Or ``` 150/50 = t1= 3 150/30 = t2 = 5 ``` 8 min total Distance total = 300 Avg speed = 300/8 = 37.5 kn/hr
