D Correct answer
Explanation

For two numbers with HCF 45 and LCM 540, their product is 45 * 540 = 24300. The numbers must be multiples of 45, such as 45a and 45b where a and b are coprime. 45a * 45b = 24300 implies ab = 12. Possible pairs for (a,b) are (1,12) and (3,4). The numbers are (45, 540) or (135, 180). Since both must have the same number of digits, 135 and 180 are the correct pair.

D Correct answer
Explanation

The differences between divisors and remainders are constant: 4-1=3, 6-3=3, 14-11=3, 20-17=3. Find the LCM of (4, 6, 14, 20) = 420. The largest 5-digit number is 99999. 99999 / 420 = 238 with remainder 39. The largest multiple is 99999 - 39 = 99960. Subtract the common difference 3 to get 99957.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Let divisor be D and quotient be Q. D = Q. Dividend = D * Q + R = D^2 + R. Given R = D/2. So 6123 = D^2 + D/2. Multiply by 2: 12246 = 2D^2 + D. 2D^2 + D - 12246 = 0. Using quadratic formula: D = (-1 + sqrt(1 + 4*2*12246)) / 4 = (-1 + sqrt(97969)) / 4 = (-1 + 313) / 4 = 312 / 4 = 78.
