Problems on H.C.F and L.C.M
The maximum number of students among them 1001 pens and 910 pencils can be distributed in such a way that each student gets the same number of pens and same number of pencils is:
Interval of change = (L.C.M of 48,72,108)sec.=432sec. So, the lights will agin change simultaneously after every 432 seconds i.e,7 min.12sec Hence , next simultaneous change will take place at 8:27:12 hrs.
L.C.M. of 6, 9, 15 and 18 is 90.Let required number be 90k + 4, which is multiple of 7.Least value of k for which (90k + 4) is divisible by 7 is k = 4.Required number = (90 x 4) + 4 = 364.
