5. The HCF and LCM of two numbers is 0.45 and 2.7, if one of the numbers is 1.35, then find the other.
a) 1.9
b) 0.9
c) 0.18
d) 0.19
View Answer
Explanation: We know that product of two numbers = HCF*LCM.
Other number = \(\frac{0.45*2.7}{1.35}\)=0.9.
6. If HCF and LCM of two numbers is 0.27 and 16.2, if one of the numbers is 0.18, then find the other number.
a) 5.4
b) 6.4
c) 12.8
d) 16.2
View Answer
Explanation: We know that product of two numbers = HCF*LCM.
Other number = \(\frac{0.27*16.2}{0.18}\)=5.4.
7. If LCM of two numbers is 2.15, then which of the following could not be its HCF?
a) 0.05
b) 0.01
c) 1
d) 0.015
View Answer
Explanation: We know that LCM is a multiple of HCF.
2.15 is a multiple of 0.05 and 0.01. 1 can be HCF of two numbers, if they don’t have any factors in common.
Therefore, 0.015 cannot be its HCF.
8. The product of two numbers is 0.891 and its HCF is 0.9. Find the largest number.
a) 0.91
b) 0.99
c) 0.9
d) 0.81
View Answer
Explanation: The numbers be 0.9a and 0.9b.
We know that product of two numbers = HCF*LCM = 0.891.
0.9a * 0.9b = 0.891.
ab = 1.1, so that a=1 and b=1.1.
Therefore, the largest number is 1.1*0.9=0.99.
9. The HCF of two number is 0.2 and their difference is 1. Find the numbers.
a) 0.2 and 1.0
b) 0.4 and 1.6
c) 0.4 and 1.4
d) 0.7 and 1.4
View Answer
Explanation: From the options, only 0.4 and 1.4 pair satisfy both the conditions i.e., HCF of two number is 0.2 and their difference is 1.
Hence, the numbers are 0.4 and 1.4.
10. If HCF of two numbers is 0.51, then which of the following could possibly be its LCM?
a) 27.03
b) 15.08
c) 12.09
d) 9.01
View Answer
Explanation: We know that HCF is a factor of LCM.
27.03 is a factor of 0.51.
Hence, 0.51 could possibly be its LCM.
