Question : Two numbers are in the ratio of 4 : 3. The product of their HCF and LCM is 2700. The difference between the numbers is:
Option 1: 15
Option 2: 30
Option 3: 25
Option 4: 105
Correct Answer: 15
Solution : Ratio of Two numbers = 4 : 3 HCF × LCM = 2700 Product of two numbers = Product of their HCF and LCM Let the numbers be $4x$ and $3x$ respectively ⇒ $x × 12x = 2700$ ⇒ $12x^2 = 2700$ ⇒ $x^2 =
Question : Directions: Select the letter that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series. K, I, G, E, C,?

Question : A train of length 180 m takes 40 seconds to cross a tunnel of length 500 m. What is the speed of the train, in km/hr?
Option 1: 71.2
Option 2: 61.2
Option 3: 80.5
Option 4: 52.5
Correct Answer: 61.2
Solution : Given: A train of length 180 m takes 40 seconds to cross a tunnel of length 500 m. Use the formula, $\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$. Train’s speed = $\frac{180+500}{40}=\frac{680}{40}$ m/s Convert m/s into km/h by multiplying with $\frac{18}{5}$, $\frac{680}{40}$ m/s = $\frac{680}{40}\times \frac{18}{5}$ km/hr = 61.2 km/hr Hence,

Question : What is the difference (in Rs.) between the compound interest and simple interest for 3 years on a Principal of Rs.1000 at 20% per annum?
Option 1: Rs. 64
Option 2: Rs. 120
Option 3: Rs. 128
Option 4: Rs. 136
Correct Answer: Rs. 128
Solution : Given: Principal = Rs. 1000 Rate = 20% Time = 3 years Solve by using the formula for 3 years: $D=P×\frac{(300+R)R^{2}}{100^{3}}$, where $D$ = Difference between compound interest and simple interest, $P$ = Principal, $R$ = Rate of interest. Putting the values in the

Question : The ratio of the two numbers is 4 : 5, and their HCF is 3. What is their LCM?
Option 1: 48
Option 2: 80
Option 3: 60
Option 4: 36
Correct Answer: 60
Solution : The ratio of the two numbers is 4 : 5. Let the numbers be 4$x$, 5$x$. Their HCF = $x$ as 4, 5 are coprime. So, $x$ = 3 Numbers are 4 × 3 = 12, 5 × 3 = 15 We know the product
