REASON ASSERTION QUESTIONS
Ans a
DIRECTION: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed
by a statement of Reason (R) . Mark the correct choice as:
a) both Assertion and reason are correct and reason is correct explanation
for assertion
b) both Assertion and reason are correct but reason is not correct
explanation for Assertion
c) Assertion is correct but reason is false
d) both Assertion and reason are false.
Q1.Assertion: The given pair of no. 231, 396 are coprime to each other
Reason: 231, 396 have only 1 common factor
Ans: d)
Q2.Assertion: For any two positive integers p and q, HCF (p, q) × LCM (p, q) =
p×q
Reason: If the HCF of two numbers is 5 and their product is 150, then their
LCM is 40.
Answer: (c)
We have, LCM (p, q) × HCF (p, q) = p × q
LCM × 5 = 150
LCM = 150 / 5 = 30 ≠ 40
Therefore, Reason is false.
QUESTIONS SHORT ANSWER
Q1.What is the HCF of the smallest composite number and the smallest
prime number?(2)
Q2.If a is an odd number, b is not divisible by 3 and LCM of a and b is P,
what is the LCM of 3a and 2b?(6P)
Q3.Can the number 4n, n be a natural number, end with the digit 0? Give
reason.
Q4.Can two numbers have 18 as their HCF and 380 as their LCM? Give
reason.
(No, because here HCF (18) does not divide LCM (380).)

Q14. CASE STUDY 1
Three friends Virat, Rohit, and Sachin used to ride their bicycles around
their Society's park every day in the evening. The shape of the society's
park is a Rectangle.
One day, they decide to play a game. All three have a ringing bell on their
bicycle. They ring the bell at an interval of 9, 12, 15 minutes respectively
means after every 9 mins Virat rings the bell, after every 12 mins Rohit
rings the bell and after every 15 mins, Sachin rings the bell.
(a) If they start ringing together a time, after what time will they next
ring together?
(b) If only Sachin and Virat play this game, then after what time will they
next ring together?
(c) If only Rohit and Sachin play this game, then after what time will they
next ring together?
(d) If one more friend, Rishab also join them from the beginning. Now
Virat, Rohit, Sachin and Rishab ring at an interval of 9,12, 15 and 20
minutes then after what time will they next ring together.
or

next ring together?
Answers : a) 180 minutes
b) 45 minutes
c) 60 minutes
d) 180 minutes
OR
d) 60 minutes
