m
963=657×1+306
657=306×2+45
co
306=45×6+36
45=36×1+9
36=9×4+0
∴ HCF (657, 963) = 9 g.
ng
now 9 = 657x + 963× (-15)
657x=9+963×15

We know that n is of the form 3q, 3q +1, 3q + 2
co
So we have the following cases

4. Find the largest possible positive integer that will divide 398, 436, and 542 leaving
remainder 7, 11, 15 respectively.
(Ans: 17)
7
∴ HCF (17,527) = 17
∴ HCF (391, 425 and 527) = 17
5. Find the least number that is divisible by all numbers between 1 and 10 (both
inclusive).
(Ans:2520)
Ans: The required number is the LCM of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
∴ LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 2520
m
Now 571 lies between the perfect squares of (23)2 and (24)2
co
Prime numbers less than 24 are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23
Since 571 is not divisible by any of the above numbers
571 is a prime number

HCF (30,72) = 6
6=30-12×2
w
6=30-(72-30×2)2
6=30-2×72+30×4
6=30×5+72×-2
∴ x = 5, y = -2
Also 6 = 30 × 5 + 72 (-2) + 30 × 72 – 30 × 72
x = 77, y = -32

∴ Area of the circle = π (OA)2 = 25 π sq units [Q Area = π r2]
Area of rectangle ABCD = AB x BC = 8 x 6 = 48 sq units
Area of shaded region = Area of the circle – Area of rectangle ABCD

Ans: Here the possible outcomes are all the numbers between 0 and 2.
This is the portion of the number line from 0 to 2 as shown in figure.
Let A be the event that ‘the music is stopped within the first half minute.’ Then,
ye
outcomes favorable to event A are all points on the number line from O to Q i.e.,
from 0 to 1/2 .

contain? (Ans:12)
Ans: Let there be b blue, g green and w white marbles in the marbles in the jar. Then,
