Question
What is the rank of
P? Answer the questions based on the information given below. Seven persons P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are writing a book. Each person takes different time to complete the book. The person who writes first is ranked as 1 and the person who writes last is ranked as 7. R writes the book two persons before Q. The rank of neither R nor S is 1. The number of persons, who writes after Q is one more than the number of persons who writes before S. T writes before P. At least two persons write between S and P. V writes after U. Rank of V is not 5. T is neither first ranked neither writes just before V. Atmost two persons write between U and T.Solution
R writes the book two persons before Q. The number of persons, who writes after Q is one more than the number of persons who writes before S. The rank of neither R nor S is 1. There will be three cases: If R‘s rank is 3, then Q’s rank is 5. S’ rank will be 2. If R‘s rank is 2, then Q’s rank is 4. S’ rank will be 3. If R‘s rank is 2, then Q’s rank is 3. S’ rank will be 4. 
T writes before P. At least two persons write between S and P. V writes after U. Rank of V is not 5. T is neither first ranked neither writes just before V. Atmost two persons write between U and T. Case 1. If P‘s rank is either 6 or 7, then T’s rank is 4. As atmost two persons write between U and T. So, U’ rank will be 1. V’s rank is either 6 or 7. Case 2. This case will get discarded as we cannot place U and T. Case 3. If P‘s rank is either 6 or 7, then T’s rank is 5. As atmost two persons write between U and T. So, U’ rank will be 2. V’s rank is either 6 or 7. This case will get discarded as T is neither first ranked neither writes just before V. 
Final arrangement as shown below: 
The least number which when divided by 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21 leaves the same remainder 7 in each case, is:
The least multiple of 19, which on dividing by 5,6,7,8 and 9 leaves remainder 2 in each case is
The LCM of two natural numbers is 25 times their HCF. If the product of given two numbers is 3600, then find the LCM of the numbers.
The least number which when divided by 10, 12, 15 and 20 leave zero remainder in each case and when divided by 24 leaves a remainder of 12 is:
The smallest number which when divided by 22 and 34 leaves remainder 10 and 22 respectively is:
The ratio between three numbers is 7:3:2. Their HCF is given to be 5. Determine the LCM of the numbers.
The HCF of two numbers is 18. Which of the following can never be their LCM?
The HCF of two numbers is 6 and their LCM is 84. If one of these numbers is 42, then the second number is:
The product of the two prime numbers is 187. What will the L.C.M of these two numbers?
- The sum of the HCF and LCM of two numbers is 544, and the LCM is 16 times the HCF. If one number is 34, find the other. (find the approximate value)
