1.

If the LCM of two numbers is 290 and their product is 7250, what will be its HCF?

Answer»

Given LCM of two numbers = 290 

Product of two numbers = 7250 

HCF of two numbers = ? 

We know that, LCM × HCF = Product of two numbers 

290 × HCF = 7250 

HCF = \(\frac{7250}{290}\) = 25 

∴ HCF of two numbers = 25

2.

The LCM of 21, 35, 40 is ………………

Answer»

Correct Answer is  210

3.

Write the nearest number to 1234 which is divisible by 11.

Answer»

If we divide 1234 by 11 we get remainder 2. 

So, 1234 – 2 = 1232 is divisible by 11 

(Difference of sum of odd places digits and sum of even places digits of 1232 is ‘0’) 

Therefore, the nearest number to 1234 

which is divisible by 11 is 1232.

4.

Write the nearest number to 12345 which is divisible by 4.

Answer»

Given number be 12345. 

A number to be divisible by 4, the number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 4. 

So, 12345 – 1 = 12344 is divisible by 4 

12345 – 2 = 12343 is not divisible by 4 

12345 – 3 = 12342 is not divisible by 4 

12345 – 4 = 12341 is not divisible by 4 

12345 – 5 = 12340 is divisible by 4 

and 

12345 + 1 = 12346 is not divisible by 4 

12345 + 2 = 12347 is not divisible by 4 

12345 + 3 = 12348 is divisible by 4 

12340, 12344 and 12348 are divisible by 4.

∴ 12344 is the nearest number to 12345 which is divisible by 4.

6.

Write all the possible numbers between 2000 and 2100, that are divisible by 11.

Answer»

Numbers between 2000 and 2100 are 2001, 2002, 2003, ……… , 2097, 2098, 2099. 

If we divide 2000 by 11 we get remainder 9. 

By adding 2 to the 2000, then we get 2002. 

Check by 11 divisibility rule, 2002 is divisible by 11. (difference of sum of odd places digits and sum of even places digits is ‘0’.) 

Then 11 multiples after 2002 are 2013, 2024, 2035, 2046, 2057, 2068, 2079, 2090, 2101, …… 2112. 

Therefore, 2002, 2013, 2024, 2035, 2046, 2057, 2068, 2079 and 2090 are the numbers divisible by 11 in between 2000 and 2100.

7.

Using divisibility rules, determine which of the following numbers are divisible by 11. i) 6446 ii) 10934 iii) 7138965 iv) 726352

Answer»

i) 6446 

If the difference between the sum of the digits at odd places and the sum of the digits at even places of a number is either 0 or a multiple of 11. 

Then the number is divisible by 11. 

Sum of the digits at odd places = 6 + 4 = 10 

Sum of the digits at even places = 4 + 6 = 10 

Difference 10 – 10 = 0 

So, 6446 is divisible by 11.

ii) 10934 

Sum of the digits at odd places = 4 + 9 + 1 = 14 

Sum of the digits at even places = 3 + 0 = 3 

Difference = 14 – 3 = 11 

is a 11 multiple by divisibility rule for 11. 

So, 10934 is divisible by 11.

iii) 7138965

Sum of the digits at odd places = 5 + 9 + 3 + 7 = 24 

Sum of the digits at even places = 6 + 8 + 1 = 15 

Difference = 24 – 15 = 9 

is not a multiple by divisibility rule for 11 

So, 7138965 is not divisible by 11.

iv)726352 

Sum of the digits at odd places = 2 + 3 + 2 = 7 

Sum of the digits at even places = 5 + 6 + 7 = 18 

Difference = 18 – 7 = 11 

is a 11 multiple by divisibility rule for 11. 

So, 726352 is divisible by 11.

8.

12.

Two milk cans have 60 and 165 liters of milk. Find a can of maximum capacity which can exactly measure the milk in two cans.

Answer»

Capacity of first can = 60 l

Make 3 different 3 digit numbers using 2, 3, 4 where each digit can be used only once, Check which of these numbers is divisible by 9.

Answer»

3 different 3-digit numbers using 2, 3, 4 are 234, 342, 243 

Given digits 2, 3 & 4; their sum = 2 + 3 + 4 = 9, 

Any number formed by these digits is always divisible by 9. 

a) Sum of the digits of 234 

= 2 + 3 + 4 = 9 is divisible by 9. 

If the sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 9. 

So, 234 is divisible by 9. 

b) Sum of the digits of 342 = 3 + 4 + 2 = 

9 is divisible by 9. 

So, 342 is divisible by 9. 

c) Sum of the digits of 243 = 2 + 4 + 3 = 

9 is divisible by 9. 

So, 243 is divisible by 9.

8596 cows and 7015 buffaloes are there in a village. Find out which cattle is more than the other and how much? (Rounding the number to 100).

Answer»

Number of cows = 8596 

Round off 8596 to nearest hundred = 8600 

Number of buffaloes = 7015 

Round off 7015 to nearest hundred = 7000 

Difference = 8600 – 7000 = 1600 

Thus, cows are more than others, approximately 1600

A river 3 m deep and 40 m wide is flowing at the rate of 2 km per hour. How much water will fall into the sea in a minute?

Answer»

Radius of water flow = 2 km per hour = (2000/60) m/min

= (100/3) m/min

Depth (h) of river = 3m

Width (b) of river = 40m

Volume of water followed in 1 min = 100/3 x 40 x 3 m3 

Thus, 1 minute 4000 m3 = 4000000 liters of water will fall in sea.

45.

Water in a canal 30 dm wide and 12 dm deep, is flowing with a velocity of 100 km per hour. How much area will it irrigate in 30 minutes if 8 cm of standing water is desired?

Answer»

Given,

Width of canal = 30 dm = 3m

Depth of canal = 12 dm = 1.2 m

Velocity of flow = 100 km/h

Length of cuboid thus formed = distance travelled by water in 30 minute at speed 100km/h

\(=100\times\cfrac{30}{60}\) = 50 km = 50000m

Volume of water = 50000 × 3 × 1.2 m3

Water accumulated in field forms a cuboid of base area equals to area of field and height = \(\cfrac{8}{100}m\)

= hence, area of field = \(\cfrac{5000\times3\times1.2\times100}8\) = 2250000m2

46.

A river 3 m deep and 40 m wide is flowing at the rate of 2 km per hour. How much water will fall into the sea in a minute ?

Answer»

Depth of river, h = 3m 

breadth, b = 40 m 

1 Km. = 1000 m 

∴ 2 Km. = 2000 m. 

Speed of the river per hour is 2 Km. 

For 60 minutes, 2000m 

For 1 minute …?…

\(= \frac{2000}{60}\)

= \(\frac{100}{3}\)m/minute

∴ Depth of river in 1 minute, l = \(\frac{100}{3}\)m. 

Volume of water flows in 1 minute, 

v = l × b × h 

= \(\frac{100}{3}\) × 40 × 3 = 4000 m3 

∴ In One minute, 4000 m3 water reaches the sea.

47.

A river 3 m deep and 40 m wide is flowing at the rate of 2 km per hour. How much water will fall into the sea in a minute?

Answer»

Water flow of a river = 2 km per hour = \((\frac {2000}{60}) \)m/min or   \((\frac {100}{3}) \) m/min 

[we know: 1 km = 1000 m and 1 hour = 60 mins] 

Depth of the river (h) = 3 m 

Width of the river (b) = 40 m 

Volume of the water flowing in 1 min =  \(\frac {100}{3}\) x 40 x 3 = 4000 m3 

Or 4000 m3 = 4000000 litres 

Therefore, in 1 minute 4000000 litres of water will fall in the sea.
