What will be the least number which when doubled will be exactly divisible by 12, 18, 21 and 30 ?

What will be the least number which when doubled will be exactly divisible by 12, 18, 21 and 30 ?

A. 196 B. 630
C. 1260 D. 2520












 Explanation:

  L.C.M. of 12, 18, 21 30                      2 | 12  -  18  -  21  -  30
                                        ----------------------------
   = 2 x 3 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 5 = 1260.       3 |  6  -   9  -  21  -  15
                                                         ----------------------------
   Required number = (1260 ÷ 2)            |  2  -   3  -   7  -   5

                    = 630.

 It takes 10 days for digging a trench of 100 m long, 50 m broad and 10 m deep.  What length of trench, 25 m broad and 15 m deep can be dug in 30 days ?       a) 400 m          b) 200 m          c) 100 m          d) 89m Expl : More days, more length (Direct)       Less breadth, more length (Indirect)       More depth, less length (Indirect       Days      10 : 30;       Breadth  25 : 50;                  : : 100 : x       Depth    15 : 10;                     :. 10 * 25* 15 * x = 30 *50 * 10 *100             x= (30*50*10*100)/10*25*15 = 400      So the required length = 400m
