    Question

    LCM of two numbers 'p' and 'q' is 935 and (p>q) . What is the maximum sum of the digits of 'q' out of the possible pairs 'p', 'q'?

    A.

    16

    B.

    8

    C.

    5

    D.

    20

    Correct option is A

    Solution:
    We know, 935 = 5 × 11 × 17
    If (p > q)
    Let p be 935, then q = 1
    => Sum of q = 1
    Again,
    Suppose, p = 935, then q = 5
    => Sum of digit q = 5
    Again,
    Suppose, p = 935, then q = 11 = 11
    => Sum of digit q = 1 + 1 = 2
    Again,
    Let p = 935 and q = 17
    => Sum of digit of q = 1 + 7 = 8
    Again,
    Let p = 935 and q = 55
    => Sum of digit q = 5 + 5 = 10
    Again,
    Let p = 935 and q = 85
    => Sum of digit q = 8 + 5 = 13
    Again,
    Let p = 935 and q = 187
    => Sum of digit of q = 1 + 8 + 7 = 16
    Thus, the maximum sum of digits of q is 16, when p = 935 & q = 187.
