a) 45
b) 90
c) 35
d) 15
Answer: a
Explanation: The difference between 405 and 585 is 180 = 45*4.
The difference between 585 and 765 is 180 = 45*4.
The difference between 765 and 900 is 135 = 45*3.
The difference between 405 and 900 is 495 = 45*11.
Therefore, the HCF of 405, 585, 765 and 900 is 45. - Two numbers are in the ratio 15:16. If the HCF is 8, find the numbers.
a) 120 and 112
b) 128 and 136
c) 120 and 128
d) 112 and 104
Answer: c
Explanation: Let the two numbers be 15x and 16x, then their HCF is x.
So, x=8, hence, the numbers are 15*8 = 120 and 16*8 = 128. - Find the HCF of 16(x5+x4-6×3) and 40(x4+4×3+3×2).
a) 8(x+3)
b) 8x(x+3)
c) 8x(x+3)2
d) 8×2(x+3)
Answer: d
Explanation: Let p(x) = 16(x5+x4-6×3) = 16×3(x-2)(x+3) and q(x) = 40(x4+4×3+3×2) = 40×2(x+1)(x+3).
The common factors are 8×2(x+3).
Therefore, HCF is 8×2(x+3). - Which value is similar to sin-1sin(6 π/7)?
a) sin-1(π/7)
b) cos-1(π/7)
c) sin-1(2π/7)
d) coses-1(π/7)
Answer: a
Explanation: sin-1sin(6 π/7)
Now, sin(6 π/7) = sin(π – 6 π/7)
= sin(2π + 6 π/7) = sin(π/7)
= sin(3π – 6 π/7) = sin(20π/7)
= sin(-π – 6 π/7) = sin(-15π/7)
= sin(-2π + 6 π/7) = sin(-8π/7)
= sin(-3π – 6 π/7) = sin(-27π/7)
Therefore, sin-1sin(6 π/7) = sin-1(π/7). - What is a characteristic of specific objectives?
