Find the LCM of 44 and 90.

  1. 2

  2. 990

  3. 1890

  4. 1980


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Prime factorisation of 44 = 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 11 = 22 $\times$ 111 Prime factorisation of 90 = 2 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 5 = 21 $\times$ 32 $\times$ 51

$\therefore$  LCM (44, 90) = 22 $\times$ 32 $\times$ 51 $\times$ 111 = 4 $\times$ 9 $\times$ 5 $\times$ 11 = 1980

Which of the following prime numbers appear in the prime factorisation of 1580?

  4. 2, 3, 5, 13


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The prime factorisation of 1580 = 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 5 $\times$ 79

 
2 1580
2 790
5 395
79 79
  1

= 22 $\times$ 5 $\times$ 79 So, 2, 5 and 79 appear in the prime factorisation of 1580.

Which of the following fractions has a terminating decimal expansion?

  1. $\frac{706}{34}$

  2. $\frac{35}{15}$

  3. $\frac{200}{13}$

  4. $\frac{126}{45}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$\frac{126}{45} = \frac{14}{5}$ Since the denominator of $\frac{14}{5}$is 5, which is of the form 2n 5m, where n = 0 and m = 1, so $\frac{126}{45}$ has a terminating decimal expansion.

The product of the irrational numbers$\sqrt 5$ and $\sqrt 7$ will be

Which of the following has a terminating decimal expansion?

  1. $\frac{1}{30}$

  2. $\frac{1}{10}$

  3. $\frac{1}{10}$

  4. $\frac{1}{3}$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In $\frac{1}{10}$, the denominator is 10, which is in the form 2n 5m, where n = 1 and m = 1. Therefore, the number $\frac{1}{10}$has a terminating decimal expansion. Also, $\frac{1}{10}$= 0.1, which is terminating.

  1. 360

  2. 240

  3. 120

  4. 60


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

L.C.M. $\times$ H.C.F. = Product of two numbers 720 $\times$ H.C.F. = 240 $\times$ 360 H.C.F. = $\frac{240 \times 360}{720}$           = 120 Alternatively, H.C.F. = Product of the smallest powers of each common prime factor in the numbers

2 240
2 120

2 30
3 15
  5

  ||| |---|---| | 2| 360| | 2| 180| | 2| 90| | 3| 45| | 3| 15| | | 5|

The prime factorisation of 240 = 24 $\times$ 31 $\times$ 51 The prime factorisation of 360 = 23 $\times$ 32 $\times$ 51 $\therefore$ H.C.F. = 23 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 5 = 8 $\times$15 = 120

  4. 2, 3, 5, 7, 11


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

M = 77 $\times$ 144 $\times$ 45 = 7 $\times$ 11 $\times$ 12 $\times$ 12 $\times$ 9 $\times$ 5 = 7 $\times$ 11 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 5 So, prime factors of M are 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11.
