Answers & Explanations
1. Answer: (b) 13
Explanation: The prime factorisation of 26 and 91 is;
26 = 2 x 13
91 = 7 x 13
Hence, HCF (26, 91) = 13
2. Answer: (c) Maybe rational or irrational
3. Answer: (a) 60
Explanation: The least number will be LCM of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Hence, LCM (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60
4. Answer: (c) Both 3 and 7
5. Answer: (b) non-terminating and non-recurring
6. Answer: (d) 2m + 1
Explanation: As the number 2m will always be even, so if we add 1 to it then, the number will always be odd.
7. Answer: (a) always irrational
Explanation: Product of a non-zero rational and an irrational number is always irrational i.e.,
\(\frac{3}{4}\times\sqrt2\) = (rational) \(\times\) (irrational) = irrational.
8. Answer: (a) 4
Explanation: The prime factorization of 144 is as follows:
144 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
⇒ 144 = 24 × 32
We know that the exponent of a number am is m.
∴ The exponent of 2 in the prime factorization of 144 is 4.
9. Answer: (b) 500
Explanation: We know that LCM of two or more numbers is always divisible by their HCF.
1200 is divisible by 600, 200 and 400 but not by 500.
10. Answer: (c) \(a^3b^2\)
Explanation: LCM is Product of the greatest power of each prime factor involved in the number
So LCM = \(a^3b^2\)
11. Answer: (b) 17
Explanation: Since, in each room, the same number of participants, of the same language, are to be accommodated, their number in each room
HCF of 45, 75 and 135.
HCF (45, 75,135) = 15
Each room accommodates 15 participants
\(\Rightarrow\) Total no. of rooms required for English = \(\frac{45}{15}\) = 3
Total no. of rooms required for German = \(\frac{75}{15}\) = 5
Total no. of rooms required for Sanskrit= \(\frac{135}{15}\) = 9
Total no. of rooms = 3 + 5 + 9 = 17
12. Answer: (d) 3.61 x \(10^8\)
Explanation: pq = (HCF) (LCM) = Product of given numbers.
\(\Rightarrow\) pq = 190×100 =19000
\(\Rightarrow\) \(p^2q^2\) = 361 x \(10^6\) = 3.61 x \(10^8\)
13. Answer: (c) 17
Explanation: Required number is the HCF of (434 – 9) and (539 -12)
= HCF of 425 and 527.
= 17
14. Answer: (a) 220
Explanation: LCM of 20 and 22 = 220 (question state: after how many minutes will they meet)
15. Answer: (b) 3
Explanation: If any number ends with the digit 0, it should be divisible by 10,
i.e. it will be divisible by 2 and 5.
Prime factorization of n is given as 23 × 34 × 54 × 7.
It can be observed that there is (2 × 5) × (2 × 5) × (2 × 5)
⇒ 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000
Thus, there are 3 zeros in n.
16. Answer: (c) 4
Explanation: The prime factorization of 196 is as follows:
196 = 2 × 2 × 7 × 7
⇒ 98 = 22 ×72
We know that the exponent of a number am is m.
∴The sum of powers = 2 + 2 = 4
17. Answer: (a) an even number
Explanation: Let us take \(p_1\) = 5 and \(p_2\) = 3
Then \(p_1^2 – p_2^2\) = 25 – 9 = 16
16 is an even number
18. Answer: (b) \(pq^2\)
Explanation: We know that HCF = Product of the smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers.
So, HCF(a, b) = \(pq^2\)
19. Answer: (b) 0 ≤ r < b
20. Answer: (a) an irrational number
Explanation: The product of a rational (non-zero) and m irrational number is always an irrational number.
21. Answer: (c) 0, 1, 2
Explanation: According to Euclid’s division lemma,
a = 3q + r, where 0 r < 3
As the number is divided by 3. So, the remainder cannot be greater than divisor 3 also r is an integer. Therefore, the values of r can be 0, 1 or 2.
22. Answer: (a) 2520cm
Explanation: We need to find the L.C.M of 40, 42 and 45 cm to get the required minimum distance.
40 = 2×2×2×5
42 = 2×3×7
45 = 3×3×5
L.C.M. = 2×3×5×2×2×3×7 = 2520
23. Answer: (c) 2.1333333456…
Explanation: Non terminating non repeating
24. Answer: (a) 10
Explanation: Greatest number which divides 87 and 97, leaving 7 as remainder = HCF of 80 and 90
