• Question 1 of 5 1. Question Amitabh has a certain number of toffees, such that if he distributes them amongst ten children he has nine left, if he distributes amongst nine children he would have eight left, if he distributes amongst eight children he would have seven left … and so on until if he distributes amongst five children he should have four left. What is the second lowest number of toffees he could have with him. a) 2519 b) 7559 c) 8249 d) 5039 Correct Solution:- D The least number would be (LCM of 10,9,8,7,6 and 5-1)= 2519. The second least number = 2520 2-1=5039. Incorrect Solution:- D The least number would be (LCM of 10,9,8,7,6 and 5-1)= 2519. The second least number = 2520 2-1=5039.
#### 1. Question
Amitabh has a certain number of toffees, such that if he distributes them amongst ten children he has nine left, if he distributes amongst nine children he would have eight left, if he distributes amongst eight children he would have seven left … and so on until if he distributes amongst five children he should have four left. What is the second lowest number of toffees he could have with him.
Solution:- D
The least number would be (LCM of 10,9,8,7,6 and 5-1)= 2519. The second least number = 2520* 2-1=5039.
Solution:- D
The least number would be (LCM of 10,9,8,7,6 and 5-1)= 2519. The second least number = 2520* 2-1=5039.
• Question 2 of 5 2. Question If’a’ is a natural number and HCF of a, a + 5 is 5. If the LCM of the two numbers is a three-digit number, then what is the difference between the maximum and minimum possible values of the smaller number? a) 25 b) 35 c) 40 d) 45 Correct Solution: D Let a=5k then a+5=5(k+1). Both k, k+1 are co-prime. LCM of a, a+5=5k(k+1) For k=4, 5k(k+1)=100 So minimum possible value of small number is 20. Maximum value of k for which the LCM is a three digit number is 13. Maximum possible value of the smallest number =65 So the required difference = 65-20=45 Incorrect Solution: D Let a=5k then a+5=5(k+1). Both k, k+1 are co-prime. LCM of a, a+5=5k(k+1) For k=4, 5k(k+1)=100 So minimum possible value of small number is 20. Maximum value of k for which the LCM is a three digit number is 13. Maximum possible value of the smallest number =65 So the required difference = 65-20=45
#### 2. Question
If’a’ is a natural number and HCF of a, a + 5 is 5. If the LCM of the two numbers is a three-digit number, then what is the difference between the maximum and minimum possible values of the smaller number?
Solution: D
Let a=5k then a+5=5(k+1). Both k, k+1 are co-prime.
LCM of a, a+5=5k(k+1)
For k=4, 5k(k+1)=100
So minimum possible value of small number is 20. Maximum value of k for which the LCM is a three digit number is 13.
Maximum possible value of the smallest number =65
So the required difference = 65-20=45
Solution: D
Let a=5k then a+5=5(k+1). Both k, k+1 are co-prime.
LCM of a, a+5=5k(k+1)
For k=4, 5k(k+1)=100
So minimum possible value of small number is 20. Maximum value of k for which the LCM is a three digit number is 13.
Maximum possible value of the smallest number =65
So the required difference = 65-20=45
• Question 3 of 5 3. Question The least number which when divided by 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 leaves the same remainder 2 in each case, is: a) 176 b) 178 c) 180 d) 182 Correct Answer: (d) 182 Explanation: Given numbers are 6,9, 12, 15, 18 LCM of given numbers=180 So, 180+2=182 is the number that leaves 2 as a remainder. Hence option d is correct. Incorrect Answer: (d) 182 Explanation: Given numbers are 6,9, 12, 15, 18 LCM of given numbers=180 So, 180+2=182 is the number that leaves 2 as a remainder. Hence option d is correct.
#### 3. Question
The least number which when divided by 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 leaves the same remainder 2 in each case, is:
Answer: (d) 182
Explanation:
Given numbers are 6,9, 12, 15, 18
LCM of given numbers=180
So, 180+2=182 is the number that leaves 2 as a remainder.
Hence option d is correct.
Answer: (d) 182
Explanation:
Given numbers are 6,9, 12, 15, 18
LCM of given numbers=180
So, 180+2=182 is the number that leaves 2 as a remainder.
Hence option d is correct.

• Question 5 of 5 5. Question The sum of two numbers is 232 and their HCF is 29. What is the number of such pairs of numbers satisfying above condition? a) One b) Two c) Four d) None of these Correct Answer: (b) two Explanation: Explain it Let the two numbers be 29x and 29y 29x + 29y =232 x+y=8 Co-primes of (x, y) =(1,7)(3,5) Since, once such pair is ( 29 1 and 29 7 )=29 and 203 Hence, the other pair is ( 29 3 and 29 5 )=87 and 145. Hence, option b is correct. Gandhi established Tolstoy Farm in 1910 while supervising the satyagraha by South African Indians. The farm aimed to be a self-supporting agricultural commune that provided for basic needs and emphasized personal growth and spiritual understanding through hard labour. Tolstoy Farm as Gandhi’s Laboratory: Tolstoy Farm served as a laboratory for Gandhi to experiment with various principles and ideals, including diet, nature cure, harmonious living with nature, brahmacharya, and more. This reflected a shared philosophy with Count Leo Tolstoy and Henry David Thoreau Revival Efforts: Tolstoy Farm fell into disrepair during the Apartheid era. Post-1994, part of the farm has been developed into a ‘Peace Garden,’ and there are plans to involve the local community and teach Gandhian ideals. Incorrect Answer: (b) two Explanation: Explain it Let the two numbers be 29x and 29y 29x + 29y =232 x+y=8 Co-primes of (x, y) =(1,7)(3,5) Since, once such pair is ( 29 1 and 29 7 )=29 and 203 Hence, the other pair is ( 29 3 and 29 5 )=87 and 145. Hence, option b is correct.
#### 5. Question
The sum of two numbers is 232 and their HCF is 29. What is the number of such pairs of numbers satisfying above condition?
• d) None of these
Answer: (b) two
Explanation:
Explain it
Let the two numbers be 29x and 29y
29x + 29y =232
Co-primes of (x, y) =(1,7)(3,5)
Since, once such pair is ( 29 1 and 29 7 )=29 and 203
Hence, the other pair is ( 29 3 and 29 5 )=87 and 145.
Hence, option b is correct.
