3. The least number that is divisible by all the numbers from 1 to 5 is:
5. The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 33 and 264 respectively. When the first number is
6. What will be the least possible number of the planks, if three pieces of timber 42 m, 49 m
7. What is the greatest possible speed at which a man can walk 52 km and 91 km in an exact

divisor is 13 are:
10. Two natural numbers whose sum is 85 and the least common multiple is 102 are:
12. Assertion: 12n ends with the digit zero, where n is any natural number.
Reason: Any number ends with digit zero, if its prime factor is of the form 2𝑚𝑚 x 5𝑛𝑛,
where m and n are natural numbers.
13. Assertion:: HCF and LCM of two natural numbers are 25 and 815 respectively.
Reason:: LCM of two natural numbers is always divisible by their HCF.
14. Assertion:: If LCM (60, 72) = 360, then HCF (60, 72) = 12.
Reason:: HCF (a, b) x LCM (a, b) = a + b.

respectively.
16. Find the sum of the exponents of the prime factors in the prime factorisation of 196.
17. Find the HCF of 1848, 3058 and 1331.
18. Given that HCF (2520, 6600) = 40 and LCM (2520, 6600) = 252 × k, then find the
value of ‘k’.
19. The LCM of 2 numbers is 14 times their HCF. The sum of LCM and HCF is 600. If
one number is 280, then find the other number
20. Prove that (a) 3 + 2 5 (b) 5 + 7 are irrationals.
21. Find the largest number which divides 615 and 963 leaving remainder 6 in each case.
22. The length, breadth and height of a room are 8.25 m, 6.75 m and 4.50 m
respectively. Determine the longest rod which can measure the three dimensions of the
room exactly.
23. A circular field has a circumference of 360 km. Three cyclists start together and
can cycle 60km, 48km and 72km a day, around the field. After how many days will
they meet again at the starting point.
CASE STUDY 1.
To enhance the reading skills of grade X students, the school nominates you and two of
your friends to set up a class library. There are two sections- section A and section B of
grade X. There are 32 students in section A and 36 students in section B
1. What is the minimum number of books you will acquire for the class library, so that they
can be distributed equally among students of Section A or Section B?
2. If the product of two positive integers is equal to the product of their HCF and LCM is
true then find the HCF (32, 36).
3. Express 36 as a product of its primes.
4. If p and q are positive integers such that p = ab2 and q=a2b, where a, b are prime
numbers, then find the LCM (p, q) .
Case Study 2
(i) In each room the same number of participants are to be seated and all of them being in
the same subject, hence find the maximum number of participants that can be
accommodated in each room.
(ii) Find the minimum number of rooms required during the event.
(iii) Find the product of HCF and LCM of 60, 84 and 108.
