Case Study Questions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 1 Real Numbers

Question 1:

HCF and LCM are widely used in number system especially in real numbers in finding relationship between different numbers and their general forms. Also, product of two positive integers is equal to the product of their HCF and LCM
Based on the above information answer the following questions.

(i) If two positive integers x and y are expressible in terms of primes as x =p²q³ and y=p³q, then which of the following is true?
(a) HCF = pq² x LCM
(b) LCM = pq² x HCF
(c) LCM = p²q x HCF
(d) HCF = p²q x LCM

(ii) A boy with collection of marbles realizes that if he makes a group of 5 or 6 marbles, there are always two marbles left, then which of the following is correct if the number of marbles is p?
(a) p is odd
(b) p is even
(c) p is not prime
(d) both (b) and (c)
