Question : The LCM of the two numbers is 2079, and their HCF is 27. If one of the numbers is 189, then the other number is:

Option 1: 297

Option 2: 584

Option 3: 189

Option 4: 216

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 297


Solution : Given: LCM of two numbers = 2079
HCF of two numbers = 27
We know that,
1st number × 2nd number = LCM × HCF
⇒ 189 × 2nd number = 2079 × 27
⇒ 2nd number = $\frac{2079\times27}{189}$ = 297

Question : $\text{PS}$ and $\text{PT}$ are two tangents from a point $\text{P}$ outside the circle with centre $\text{O}$. If $\text{S}$ and $\text{T}$ are points on the circle such that $\angle SPT=130^{\circ}$, then the degree measure of $\angle OST$ is equal to:

Option 1: $25^{\circ}$

Option 2: $55^{\circ}$

Option 3: $65^{\circ}$

Option 4: $35^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $65^{\circ}$


Solution :
$\angle SPT = 130^{\circ}$
And also,
$\angle PSO = \angle PTO = 90^{\circ}$
Now, PTOS is a quadrilateral.
$\therefore$ $\angle P + \angle O + \angle S + \angle P = 360^{\circ}$
⇒ $\angle O = 360^{\circ} - 310^{\circ} = 50°$
Now to calculate $\angle

Option 3: 8640

Option 4: 5760

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8640


Solution : Total votes = 40000
Invalid votes = 10%
Valid votes = 90% = $\frac{90}{100}\times40000=36000$
Now, the votes of Rajat = 36%
Votes of Pooja = 40%
$\therefore$ Votes of Abha = 100 – 36 – 40 = 24% of valid votes = $\frac{24}{100}\times 36000=8640$
Hence,
