Six bells commencing tolling together toll at intervals of 2, 3, 6, 8 , 10 and 12 seconds respectively.In 30 minutes how many times do they toll together?
Ans 1. L.C.M of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12  is 120.
so, the bells will toll together after 120 seconds i.e. 2 minutes .
In 30 minutes the bells toll together 30/2 + 1 times i.e. times.

Ques 2.

The H.C.F of two numbers is 11 and their L.C.M is 7700. If one of these numbers is 275, then find the other number.
Ans 2. Product of two number s = product of their H.C.F. and L.C.M.
  required  number = 11 X 7700/275 = 308

A gardener had a number of shrubs to plant in rows . At first he tried to plant 8, then 12 and then 16 in a row but he always had 3 shrubs left with him . On trying 7 shrubs he was left with none.Find the total number of shrubs.
Ans 3. L.C.M of 8,12,16 = 48
Now, 48 x 1 + 3 = 51 - not divisible by 7
48 x 2 + 3 = 99 - not divisible by 7
48 x 3 + 3 = 147 - not divisible by 7
  Required number = 147

(a) 4
(b) 12
(c) 8

(c) 10025
(d) 11080
Ans 7. 10080
Hint : The least number of 5 digits is 10000. L.C.M. of 12, 15 and 18 is 180 . On dividing 10000 is 100.
=> 10000 + 180- 100 = 10080 is divisible by 180.
