71. Find the highest common factor (HCF) of 2/3, 8/9, 16/81, and 10/27.
A. 2/81
B. 2/3
C. 80/81
D. 16/3

सही उत्तर: [A]

हल (Solution):
Correct Answer: A) 2/81
Solution:
HCF of fractions = (HCF of Numerators) / (LCM of Denominators).

HCF of (2, 8, 16, 10) = 2.

LCM of (3, 9, 81, 27) = 81. HCF = 2/81.
72. Which of the following is an irrational number?
A. √144
B. 3.14

73. If the sum of two numbers is 14 and their difference is 10, find the product of the two numbers.
A. 18
B. 24
C. 30
D. 36

सही उत्तर: [B]

हल (Solution):
Correct Answer: B) 24
Solution:

a+b = 14, a-b = 10. Adding them gives 2a=24 -> a=12.

b = 2. Product = 12 * 2 = 24
74. How many numbers between 200 and 600 are exactly divisible by 4, 5, and 6?
A. 5
B. 6
C. 7
D. 8

सही उत्तर: [B]

हल (Solution):
Correct Answer: B) 6
Solution:

LCM of 4, 5, 6 = 60.

Numbers divisible by 60 between 200 and 600 are: 240, 300, 360, 420, 480, 540. (Total 6).
75. Simplify: 1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/3))
A. 11/7
B. 7/4
C. 10/7
D. 4/3

सही उत्तर: [A]

हल (Solution):
Correct Answer: A) 11/7
Solution:

Bottom up: 1 + 1/3 = 4/3.

Next step: 1 + 1/(4/3) = 1 + 3/4 = 7/4.

Final step: 1 + 1/(7/4) = 1 + 4/7 = 11/7.
76. What is the value of 0.333... + 0.444... ?
A. 0.777...
B. 7/9
C. 7/10
D. Both A and B

सही उत्तर: [D]

हल (Solution):
Correct Answer: D) Both A and B
Solution:

0.333... = 3/9 = 1/3.

0.444... = 4/9.

Sum = 3/9 + 4/9 = 7/9, which is also written as 0.777...
77. If n is a natural number, then (6n^2 + 6n) is always divisible by:
A. 6 only
B. 12 only
C. 6 and 12
D. 18

सही उत्तर: [C]

हल (Solution):
Correct Answer: C) 6 and 12
Solution:

6n^2 + 6n = 6n(n+1).

'n' and 'n+1' are consecutive integers, so one of them must be even. Therefore, n(n+1) is always divisible by 2.

So, 6 * 2 = 12. The expression is always divisible by both 6 and 12.
