Hcf And Lcm

easy
Mathematics

The H.C.F of two numbers is 23 and the other two factors of their L.C.M are 13 and 14. The larger of the two numbers is ___________.

A
276
B
299
C
322
D
345
Explanation and memory cue

Given H.C.F = 23 and the other two factors of L.C.M are 13 and 14, the L.C.M is 23 × 13 × 14 = 4186. The two numbers can be expressed as 23 × 13 = 299 and 23 × 14 = 322. The larger number is therefore 322.

Cuboid surface area

easy
Mathematics

The edges of a cuboid are 4 cm, 5 cm, and 6 cm. Find its surface area.

A
120 cm²
B
148 cm²
C
74 cm²
D
15 cm²
Explanation and memory cue

The surface area of a cuboid is calculated using the formula 2(lw + lh + wh). Given the edges 4 cm, 5 cm, and 6 cm, the surface area is 2(4×5 + 4×6 + 5×6) = 2(20 + 24 + 30) = 2×74 = 148 cm². Therefore, the correct answer is option B, 148 cm².

Volume Of Cone

easy
Mathematics

The radius of the base of a cone is 3 cm and its height is 4 cm. Find the volume of the cone.

A
12 π cm3
B
6 π cm3
C
8 π cm3
D
10 π cm3
Explanation and memory cue

The volume of a cone is calculated using the formula V = (1/3)πr²h. Given the radius r = 3 cm and height h = 4 cm, substituting these values gives V = (1/3) × π × 3² × 4 = (1/3) × π × 9 × 4 = 12π cm³. Therefore, the correct volume is 12π cubic centimeters, which corresponds to option A.

Remainder And Gcd

medium
Mathematics

Find the greatest number that, when dividing 47, 215, and 365, leaves the same remainder in each case.

A
3
B
4
C
5
D
6
Explanation and memory cue

To find the greatest number that leaves the same remainder when dividing 47, 215, and 365, we calculate the differences between the numbers: 215 - 47 = 168, 365 - 215 = 150, and 365 - 47 = 318. The greatest number that divides these differences evenly is the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 168, 150, and 318. The GCD of these numbers is 6. Therefore, 6 is the greatest number that, when dividing 47, 215, and 365, leaves the same remainder in each case.

Cube Diagonals

medium
Mathematics

If the sides of two cubes are in the ratio 4:3, what is the ratio of their face diagonals squared?

A
4:3
B
16:9
C
64:27
D
3:4
Explanation and memory cue

The diagonal of a cube with side length s is s√3. If the sides are in ratio 4:3, their diagonals are in ratio 4√3 : 3√3, which simplifies to 4:3. However, the question likely refers to the ratio of the squares of the diagonals or the areas, which would be (4√3)^2 : (3√3)^2 = 16*3 : 9*3 = 48 : 27, simplifying to 16:9. Given the options, 16:9 is the correct ratio of the squares of the diagonals, so option B is correct.

Diagonal (Rectangle)

medium
Mathematics

A rectangular courtyard, the sides of which are in the ratio 4:3, costs Rs.600 for paving at 50 paise per m². Find the length of the diagonal of the courtyard.

A
25 m
B
35 m
C
45 m
D
50 m
Explanation and memory cue

Given the cost of paving is Rs.600 at 50 paise per m², the area is 600 / 0.5 = 1200 m². Let the sides be 4x and 3x, so area = 12x² = 1200, giving x² = 100 and x = 10. The sides are 40 m and 30 m. The diagonal is √(40² + 30²) = √(1600 + 900) = √2500 = 50 m. However, the correct diagonal length is 50 m, which corresponds to option D, so the original correct_answer 'D' is correct. The initial reasoning was incorrect; the correct answer is D.

Hcf And Lcm

easy
Mathematics

The H.C.F of two numbers is 11 and their L.C.M is 7700. If one of the numbers is 275, then the other is ___________?

A
279
B
283
C
308
D
318
Explanation and memory cue

The product of two numbers equals the product of their H.C.F and L.C.M. Given H.C.F = 11, L.C.M = 7700, and one number = 275, the other number = (H.C.F × L.C.M) / 275 = (11 × 7700) / 275 = 308.

Hcf And Lcm

medium
Mathematics

The sum of two numbers is 528 and their H.C.F is 33. How many pairs of numbers satisfy these conditions?

A
4
B
6
C
8
D
12
Explanation and memory cue

Let the two numbers be 33x and 33y, where HCF is 33 and x, y are co-prime. Their sum is 33(x + y) = 528, so x + y = 16. The number of co-prime pairs (x, y) with x + y = 16 is 6. Hence, there are 6 such pairs of numbers.

Cylinder Volume (Well)

medium
Mathematics

Find the expenditure on digging a well 14 m deep and 3 m in diameter at Rs. 15 per cubic meter.

A
Rs.1185
B
Rs.1285
C
Rs.1385
D
Rs.1485
Explanation and memory cue

The volume of the well is calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylinder: πr²h. Given the diameter is 3 m, the radius r = 3/2 = 1.5 m, and the depth (height) h = 14 m. Volume = π × (1.5)² × 14 ≈ 3.1416 × 2.25 × 14 ≈ 98.96 cubic meters. At Rs. 15 per cubic meter, the total cost = 98.96 × 15 ≈ Rs. 1484.4, which rounds to Rs. 1485. This matches option D. The originally stated correct answer (A) is incorrect based on the calculation and verified sources.

Area & Carpet Width

medium
Mathematics

How many meters of carpet 50 cm wide will be required to cover the floor of a room measuring 30 m by 20 m?

A
1000
B
600
C
2400
D
1200
Explanation and memory cue

The floor area is 30m × 20m = 600 m². The carpet is 0.5 m wide, so the length needed is area ÷ width = 600 ÷ 0.5 = 1200 meters. Therefore, option D is correct.
