 HINTS AND SOLUTIONS
1. (D) 24 7. (C) HCF =1, LCM = q(q + 1)
Since, n is divisible by 2, therefore (n + 2) is Since, q is prime.
 q and q + 1 has no common factor other than 1.
divisible by 4, and hence n (n + 2) is divisible by 8.
 HCF of q and q + 1 = 1
Also, n, n + 1, n + 2 are three consecutive numbers.
and LCM of q and q + 1 = q × (q + 1) = q(q + 1)
So, one of them is divisible by 3. Hence, n(n + 1)
(n + 2) must be divisible by 24. 8. (C) 2.1333333456…

 pq = 190×100 = 19000
 p2q2 = 361 × 106 = 3.61 × 108 10. (C) 5
For minimum number of containers required, each

By prime factorisation method, factors of 65 and

117 are given as, and 72
Number of containers required for liquid A = = 2.
65 = 5 × 13 36
117 = 32 × 13 108
Number of containers required for liquid B = =3
HCF (65, 117) = 13 36
Total = 5
According to the question, we have 65m – 117
HCF (65, 117) 11. Numbers are of two types - prime and composite.
65m – 117 = 13 Prime numbers can be divided by 1 and only itself,
65m = 13 + 117 whereas composite numbers have factors other
than 1 and itself.
65m = 130
It can be observed that
m=2 7 × 11 × 13 + 13
= 13 × (7 × 11 + 1)
5. (B) The prime factorisation of q is not of the form = 13 × (77 + 1)
2m × 5n = 13 × 78
= 13 ×13 × 6
The prime factorisation is not of the form 2m × 5n.
The given expression has 6 and 13 as its factors.
Therefore, it is a composite number.
6. (A) L = 21P 7×6×5×4×3×2×1+5
P is the LCM of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 P = 3 × 8 × 5 = 5 × (7 × 6 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 + 1)
= 5 × (1008 + 1)
Q is the LCM of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 Q = 5 × 7 × 9
= 5 ×1009
L is the LCM of P, Q 1009 cannot be factorized further
 L = 3 × 8 × 5 × 21 or 5 × 7 × 9 × 8 i.e. L = 21P Therefore, the given expression has 5 and 1009 as
or 8Q its factors.
Hence, it is a composite number.

As they are going in the same direction, they will = (6q + 3)(6q + 4)(6q + 5)

completed 1 round of that circular path with respect
which is divisible by 6
to Sonia. And the total time taken for completing
If x = 6q + 4
this 1 round of circular path will be the LCM of

time taken by Sonia and Ravi for completing 1
round of circular path respectively i.e., LCM of 18 = 6(6q + 4)(6q + 5)(q + 1)
minutes and 12 minutes. which is divisible by 6
18 = 2 × 3 × 3 And, 12 = 2 × 2 × 3 If x = 6q + 5
LCM of 12 and 18 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 36 = (6q + 5)(6q + 6)(6q + 7)
Therefore, Ravi and Sonia will meet together at the = 6(6q + 5)(q + 1)(6q + 7)
starting point after 36 minutes. which is divisible by 6
 product of any three natural numbers is
13. Let a = bq + r : b = 2
divisible by 6.
0  r < 2 i.e., r = 0, 1
a = 2q + 0, 2q + 1,
16. Let the number be (3q + r)
If a = 2q (which is even)
n = 3q + r, 0  r < 2
If a = 2q + 1 (which is odd)
or 3q, 3q + 1, 3q + 2
So, every positive even integer is of the form 2q
If n = 3 q then, numbers are 3q, (3q + 1), (3q + 2)
and odd integer is of the form 2q + 1.
3q is divisible by 3.
If n = 3q + 1 then, numbers are (3q + 1), (3q + 3),
14. The greater number of 6 digits is 999999.
(3q + 4)
LCM of 24, 15, and 36 is 360.
(3q + 3) is divisible by 3
999999 = 360 × 2777 + 279
If n = 3q + 2 then, numbers are (3q + 2), (3q + 4),
Required number is = 999999 – 279 = 999720
(3q + 6)

15. Let three consecutive numbers be x, (x + 1) and (3q + 6) is divisible by 3.

(x + 2) out of n, (n + 2) and (n + 4) only one is divisible by 3.

Let x = 6q + r; 0  r < 6
17. We have to find Prime Factors of the following
i.e., r = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
numbers
 x = 6q, 6q + 1, 6q + 2, 6q + 3, 6q + 4, 6q + 5
48 = 24 × 3
Product of x(x + 1)(x + 2) = 6q(6q + 1)(6q + 2)
72 = 23 × 32
If x = 6q then which is divisible by 6
108 = 22 × 33
If x = 6q + 1
= (6q + 1)(6q + 2)(6q + 3) So, the LCM of 48, 72 and 108 is

= 2(3q + 1).3(2q + 1)(6q + 1) LCM = 24 × 33

= 6(3q + 1).(2q + 1)(6q + 1) LCM = 16 × 27 = 432
which is divisible by 6 432
432 seconds = mins
If x = 6q + 2 60
= (6q + 2)(6q + 3)(6q + 4) 432 seconds = 7.2 mins
= 3(2q + 1).2(3q + 1)(6q + 4) So the time it will change together again is
= 6(2q + 1).(3q + 1)(6q + 1) 8 am + 7 mins 12 seconds = 8 : 07 : 12 am

Then, there must exist co-primes number between 540 = 546 – 6
756 = 764 – 8
a a
a and b(b  0) such that 2 3 =  3= . So, 540 and 756 are exactly divisible by the
b 2b required number.
a Thus, the required number is the HCF of 540 and
Since a and b are integers, so is rational 756.
2b
HCF (540, 756) = 108
number because division of two rational number is Hence the largest number which divides 546 and
always a rational number. 764, leaving remainders 6 and 8 respectively is
108.
Thus, 3 is also rational.
20. HCF of 990 and 945
But, this contradicts the fact that 3 is irrational. 990 = 945 × 1 + 45
945 = 45 × 21 + 0
So, our assumption is incorrect. HCF of 990 and 945 is 45.
Hence, 2 3 is irrational. As 45 is the maximum number which can divide
both type of fruits.
The fruit vendor should put 45 fruits in each basket
to have a minimum number of baskets.
