Question : What is the Highest Common Factor of $\frac{4}{55}$, $\frac{2}{11}$, and $\frac{8}{22}$?
Option 1: $\frac{1}{66}$
Option 2: $\frac{3}{88}$
Option 3: $\frac{2}{55}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{55}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{55}$
Solution : Given: The numbers are $\frac{4}{55}$, $\frac{2}{11}$, and $\frac{8}{22}$ Highest Common Factor (HCF) of fraction = $\frac{\text{HCF of numerator}}{\text{LCM of denominator}}$ where LCM is the Least Common Multiple. HCF of (4, 2, 8) = 2 LCM of (55, 11, 22) = $11\times 2\times 5 = 110$
Question : The sum lent at 5% per annum (i.e., 365 days) simple interest, which produces interest, of Rs. 2 a day, is:
