If the number is divisible by 8 and 11,
then it is divisible by 88.
Here, only 5590464 is divisible by 8 and 11.
17.
Correct Option: (b)

Let the number be x and quotient be y when divided by 437.
When the number is divided by 123 quotient will
be 3y+39
x = 437y + 19 and x = 123(3y + 39) + 50
437y + 19 = 123(3y + 39) + 50
437y + 19 = 369y + 4797 + 50
437y 369y = 4847 19
68y = 4828 and y = 71
x = 437 71 + 19 = 31046
18.
Correct Option: (c)

Let x be the number.
Then x = 2p + 1, where p is the quotient.
And p = 3r + 2, where r is the quotient.
r = 4s + 3, where s is the quotient.
...1
...2
...3

Solving equation 1, 2, 3, we get x = 24s + 23
When s = 1, we get x = 47 which is in option (c)
19.
Correct Option: (c)

5 + 4 + 6 + x + 3 + 4 + 2 = 24 + x is divisible by 9.
When x = 3.27 is divisible by 9..
20.
Correct Option: (d)

434 + 435 + 436 + 437
= 433(4 + 16 + 64 + 256) = 433 340.
340 is divisible by 10.

Correct Option: (d)

LCM HCF = Product of the numbers
Let the other number be x
22338 9 = 306 x
x = 657
2.
Correct Option: (b)

LCM of 8, 9, 12, 15 = 360.
Smallest number of 4 digits, which is a multiple of 360 is, 360 3 = 1080
So, the required number = 1080 + 3 = 1083.
Correct Option: (c)
Interval after which all four watches beep together = LCM of 15, 30, 45, 90 = 90 Minutes.
So, the watches will again beep together 90 minutes after 10 PM, i.e. at 11.30 PM.
3.
4.
Correct Option: (b)

Let the numbers be 3x, 4x, and 5x
Then their LCM = 3 4 5 x = 60x
So, 60x = 2400 or x = 40
Numbers are 120, 160,200. Sum = 480
5.
Correct Option: (c)

LCM of 7, 15, 21 and 35 is 105.
Let required number be 105m + 3, which is multiple of 9.
Least value of m for which (105m + 3) is divisible by 9 is 4.
So, the required number is 105 4 + 3 = 423.
6.
Correct Option: (d)

HCF of two prime numbers is 1.
Let the numbers be m and n, Then mn = 341
Now, since the numbers are prime possible pair is (31, 11)
Since a and b are prime and
a > b, So a = 31 and b = 11.
3b a 2 = 3 11 31 2 = 0.
7.
Correct Option: (a)

The HCF of the sum and LCM of the two numbers is also the HCF of the numbers.
HCF of 132 and 360 = 12
Now, let the numbers be 12x and 12y
So, 12x + 12y = 132
12 (x + y) = 132
x + y = 11
Again, LCM of 12x and 12y = 12xy
.: 12xy = 360
xy = 30
Therefore, the required numbers, 12x and 12y, are:
12 5 = 60 and 12 6 = 72

When 8 and 4 are the roots, a + b = 12 and a b = 32, where a + b = 12 is incorrect.
When 12 and 6 are the roots, a + b =18 and a b = 72, where a b = 72 is incorrect.
Choosing the correct parts, the correct equation is
