Question : The LCM and HCF of the two numbers are 1105 and 5. If the LCM is 17 times the first number, then find the two numbers.
Option 1: 65 and 85
Option 2: 55 and 85
Option 3: 65 and 75
Option 4: 60 and 80
Correct Answer: 65 and 85
Solution : LCM = 1105 HCF = 5 Let the first number be $x$ and the second number be $y$. $17 x= 1105$ $⇒x = \frac{1105}{17} = 65$ We know, LCM × HCF = $x × y$ $⇒1105 × 5 = 65 × y$ $\therefore
Question : If $\left (2a-3 \right )^{2}+\left (3b+4 \right )^{2}+\left ( 6c+1\right)^{2}=0$, then the value of $\frac{a^{3}+b^{3}+c^{3}-3abc}{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}+3$ is:
Option 1: $abc+3$
Option 2: $6$
Option 3: $0$
Option 4: $3$
Correct Answer: $3$
Solution : $\left(2a-3 \right )^{2}+\left (3b+4 \right )^{2}+\left (6c+1\right )^{2}=0$ ⇒ $2a-3 = 0$, $3b+4 = 0$ and $6c+1=0$ $a=\frac{3}{2}$, $b = \frac{-4}{3}$ and $c=\frac{-1}{6}$ Here, $a+b+c = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{4}{3}-\frac{1}{6}=0$ So, $a^{3}+b^{3}+c^{3}-3abc=0$ Putting these values in the given expression, $\frac{a^{3}+b^{3}+c^{3}-3abc}{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}+3$ $=0 + 3 = 3$ Hence,
