Chapter-1 Real Numbers
M.C.Qs.
1. If two positive integers a and b are expressible in the form of a=pq2 and b=p3q; p ,q being prime
numbers, then LCM(a, b)is
(a) pq (b)p3q3 (c )p3q2 (d) p2q2
2. HCF of (26,169) =13,then LCM (26,169) is
(a) 26(b)52 (c)338 (d)13
3. The ratio between the LCM and HCF OF 5, 15 and 20 is
(a)1:12 (b)2:3 (c)12:1 (d)3:4
4. If the product of two numbers is 3691 and their LCM is 3691 , then their HCF is
(a)4 (b)3 (c)2 (d)1
5 .L.C.M. of 288,360 and384 is
(a)5780 (b)5760 (c)5740 (d)5770
For question no 6 and 7, two statements are given one labeled Assertion (A)and other labeled Reason
(R). Select the correct answer to these questions from code (a), (b) (c) and (d) as given below:
(a)Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A.
(b)Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation for A.
(c)A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
6. Assertion (A):6n ends with digit zero, where n is natural number.
Reason(R):any no ends with digit zero, if its prime factor is of the form 2mx5n,where m and n are
natural numbers.
7.Assertion(A):For any two positive integers a and b,HCF (a, b)x LCM (a,b)=axb
Reason (R) :The HCF of two number numbers is 5 and their product is 150.Then their HCF is 40.

CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS
February 14 is celebrated as International Book Giving Day and many country in the world celebrate
this day. Some people in India also started celebrating this day and donated the following number of
books to a public library:
History=96, Science=240, Biography=336
These book have to be stacked in such a way that all books are stored topic wise and each stack
contains equal number of books.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
1. What is the maximum number of books in each stack?
2. Write 336 as product of prime numbers.
3. Find the number of stacks of books in each subject.
OR
Find the total number of stacks for all the subjects.
