18. The ratio of two numbers is 3:4 and their H.C.F. is 4. Their L.C.M. is:

A. 12
B. 16
C. 24
D. 48

Correct Answer: D. 48

Answer Explanation:

Let the numbers be 3x and 4x. Then, their H.C.F. = x. So, x = 4.
So, the numbers 12 and 16.
L.C.M. of 12 and 16 = 48.

19. The smallest number which when diminished by 7, is divisible 12, 16, 18, 21 and 28 is:

A. 1008
B. 1015
C. 1022
D. 1032

Correct Answer: B. 1015

Answer Explanation:

Required number = (L.C.M. of 12,16, 18, 21, 28) + 7
= 1008 + 7
= 1015

20. 252 can be expressed as a product of primes as:

A. 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7
B. 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7
C. 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7
D. 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7

Correct Answer: A. 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7
