(vi) 15, 25, 75
Solution:
(i) 6, 9

Factors of 6 = 2 × 3
Factors of 9 = 3 × 3
LCM of 6 and 9 = 3 × 2 × 3 = 18

(ii) 8, 12

(iii) 10, 15

Factors of 10 = 2 × 5
Factors of 15 = 3 × 5
LCM of 10 and 15 = 5 × 2 × 3 = 30

(iv) 14, 42

Factors of 14 = 2 × 7
Factors of 42 = 2 × 3 × 7
LCM of 14 and 42 = 7 × 2 × 3 = 42

(v) 30, 40, 60

Factors of 30 = 2 × 3 × 5
Factors of 40 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
Factors of 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
LCM of 30, 40, 60 = 2 × 5 × 3 × 2 × 2 = 120

(vi) 15, 25, 75

Factors of 15 = 3 × 5
Factors of 25 =5 × 5
Factors of 75 = 3 × 5 × 5
LCM of 15, 25, 75 = 5 × 3 × 5 = 75

Question 5.
Find the HCF and the LCM of the numbers 154, 198, 286
Solution:
HCF

Factors of 154 = 2 × 7 × 11
Factors of 198 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 11
Factors of 286 = 2 × 13 × 11
HCF of 154, 198, 286 = 11 × 2 = 22
LCM

LCM = 2 × 11 × 7 × 9 × 13
= 22 × 63 × 13
= 18018

Question 6.
What is the greatest possible volume of a vessel that can be used to measure exactly the volume of milk in cans (in full capacity) of 80 litres, 100 litres and 120 litres?
Solution:
This is an HCF related problem. So, we need to find the HCF of 80, 100, 120

80 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
100 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 5
120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
HCF of 80, 100 and 120 = 2 × 2 × 5 = 20
Volume of the vessel = 20 litres

Question 7.
The traffic lights at three different road junctions change after every 40 seconds, 60 seconds, and 72 seconds respectively. If they changed simultaneously together at 8 a.m at the junctions, at what time will they simultaneously change together again?
Solution:
This is an LCM related problem. So, we need to find the LCM of 40, 60, 72

LCM of 40, 60 and 72
= 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 2 × 1 × 1 × 3
= 360 seconds
= 6 minutes
The traffic lights will change simultane¬ously again at 8 : 06 am.

Question 8.
The LCM of two numbers is 210 and their HCF is 14. How many such pairs are possible.
Solution:
Product of two numbers = LCM × HCF
x × y = 210 × 14
x × y = 2940
(12, 245), (20, 147)
Two pairs are possible.

Question 9.
The LCM of two numbers is 6 times their HCF. If the HCF is 12 and one of the numbers is 36, then find the other number.
Solution:
36x = 6 × 12 × 12
⇒ $$x=\frac{6 \times 12 \times 12}{36}=24$$
