HCF of $24 $ and $36$ is ..............

  1. $6$
  2. $4$
  3. $9$
  4. $12$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
$2\underline {|24} {\;} 2\underline {|36}$
$2\underline {|12} {\;} 2\underline {|18}$
$2\underline {|6} {\;} 3\underline {|9}$
$3\underline {|3} {\;} 3\underline {|3}$
    1    1
$24 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3$
$36 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3$
$\therefore H.C.F=2\times 2 \times 3=12$

HCF of the numbers $36$ and $144$ is 

  1. $36$
  2. $144$
  3. $4$
  4. $2$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Factors of the given numbers are,

$36= 2\times 2 \times 3 \times 3$
$144 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 $
$\therefore $ HCF of $36$ and $144$ $ = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 = 36$

The number of ordered pairs $(a, b)$ of positive integers, such that $a + b = 90$ and their greatest common division is $6$, equals

  1. $5$
  2. $4$
  3. $8$
  4. $10$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Let's look at products of $6$
$6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78, 84, 90$
The pairs whose sums equal to $90$ are:
$6 + 84=90$
$12 + 78=90$
$18 + 72=90$
$66 + 24=90$
$60 + 30=90$
$54 + 36=90$
$48 + 42=90$
Total number of pairs are $7$.
But there can be  $7$ more pairs when the numbers are reversed.
$\therefore$ total number of ordered pair are $14$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Pair in Option C is not possible.
because in option C pair is $(42,80)$
Since, Product of numbers $=42\times 80 =3360$
Option C is correct.

G.C.D. of $(a + b -c)^6$ and $(a + b -c)^4$ is

  1. $(a+b-c)^6$
  2. $(a+b-c)^{10}$
  3. $(a+b-c)^2$
  4. $(a+b-c)^4$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Since, $(a + b -c)^6 = (a + b -c)^4 \times (a + b -c)^2 $
$\therefore$  G.C.D. of $(a + b -c)^6$ and $(a + b -c)^4$ = $(a + b -c)^4$
$\because (a + b -c)^4$ is greatest common in $(a + b -c)^4$ and $(a + b -c)^6$.
Option D is correct.

Find G.C.D of $20x^2-9x+1$ and $5x^2-6x+1$

  1. (x-1)

  2. (5x-1)

  3. (5x+1)

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Let, $p(x) = 20x^2-9x+1$ and $q(x) = 5x^2-6x+1$
$p(x) = 20x^2-9x+1$
         $=20x^2-5x-4x+1$
         $=5x(4x-1)-1(4x-1)$
         $=(5x-1)(4x-1)$
and
$q(x) = 5x^2-6x+1$
         $=5x^2-5x-x+1$
         $=5x(x-1)-1(x-1)$
         $=(5x-1)(x-1)$
$\therefore$ G.C.D of $p(x)$  and  $q(x)=(5x-1)$.
Option B is correct.

The G.C.D of $x^3+x^2-x-1$ and $x^2-1$ is

  1. $x^2-1$
  2. $x+1$
  3. $x^3-1$
  4. $x-1$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Let $p(x) = x^3+x^2-x-1$ and $ q(x) = x^2-1$
$p(x) = x^3+x^2-x-1$
         $ = x^2(x+1)-1(x+1) $
         $ = (x^2-1) (x+1) $
         $ = (x-1)(x+1)(x+1) $
and
$ q(x) = x^2-1$
         $= (x+1)(x-1) $
$\therefore $ G.C.D of $p(x)$ and $q(x)$ =$ (x+1)(x-1) = x^2 - 1 $
Option A is correct.
