Directions (Q.6-10): In the following passage there are blanks each of which has been numbered. These numbers are printed below the passage and against each, five words/phrases are suggested one of which fits the blank appropriately. Find out the appropriate word/phrase in each case: 

The second encouraging feature of the (6) is that a wide spectrum of parties has supported it, raising the (7) of a growing united front of opposition. And Sonia Gandhi’s (8) in the agitation reflect a potentially interesting emergence in the Congress party, one in which the technocrats approved by international economic interests and domestic elites might cease to be the (9) influence on its political and economic (10). If that were to happen, there may be real prospects for an alliance to emerge against the present government in which the Left parties and the AAP put aside their seemingly unburiable hatchets with the Congress, hatchets that owed to their perfectly justified disgust with the second regnum of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA).

Background

11. About the number of pairs which have 16 as their HCF and 136 as their LCM, the conclusion can be

only one such pair exists

only two such pairs exist

many three pairs exist

many such pairs exist

no such pair exists

Ans: HCF is always a factor of LCM. ie., HCF always divides LCM perfectly.

12. The HCF of two numbers is 12 and their difference is also 12. The numbers are

66, 78

94, 106

70, 82

84, 96

50, 62

Ans: The difference of required numbers must be 12 and every number must be divisible by 12. Therefore, they are 84, 96.

13. The HCF of two numbers is 16 and their LCM is 160. If one of the numbers is 32, then the other number is

48

80

96

112

108

Ans: The number = HCF×LCMGiven number=16×16032=80

14. HCF of three numbers is 12. If they are in the ratio 1:2:3, then the numbers are

12,24,36

10,20,30

5,10,15

4,8,12

15, 30, 45

Ans: Let the numbers be a, 2a and 3a. Then, their HCF = a so a=12 The numbers are 12,24,36

15. Six bells commence tolling together and toll at intervals of 2,4,6,8,10 and 12 seconds respectively. In 30 minutes, how many times do they toll together?

4

10

15

16

18

Ans: LCM of 2,4,6, 8,10 and 12 is 120. So, the bells will toll simultaneously after 120 seconds. i.e.2 minutes. In 30 minutes, they (302+1) toll times ie.16 times.
