QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE TEST (Understanding Numbers): Point out the correct mathematical choice for the provided problems involving basic number properties, simplification, and arithmetic rules.
Q. 1 Quantitative Aptitude Test
Difficulty: Medium (1 Mark)
The H.C.F. of two numbers is 12 and their sum is 96. All the pairs of such numbers is
A
13, 84 : 86, 60
B
18, 60 : 20, 90
C
30, 80: 80, 70
✓ Correct
D
None of these
💡 Step-by-Step Explanation & Concept Rationale
Standard logic: (13,84) has HCF 12 but sum not 96. (86, 60) doesn't fit. Similarly B and C are also wrong.
Q. 2 Quantitative Aptitude Test
Difficulty: Medium (1 Mark)
In finding the G.C.M. of two numbers, the last divisor is 41 and the quotients are 2,4, 2 the numbers are:
A
700, 400
B
820, 369
✓ Correct
C
800, 500
D
900, 600
💡 Step-by-Step Explanation & Concept Rationale
To find the two numbers, we can work the long division method for finding the G.C.M. (or H.C.F.) backward, starting from the final step:

Step 3 (Last Step):
Last Divisor = 41, Quotient = 2, Remainder = 0
Dividend = \((41 \times 2) + 0 =\) 82
(This dividend becomes the divisor for the previous step)

Step 2:Divisor = 82, Quotient = 4, Remainder = 41
Dividend = \((82 \times 4) + 41 = 328 + 41 =\) 369
(This is our first number, and it becomes the divisor for the step before it)

Step 1:Divisor = 369, Quotient = 2, Remainder = 82
Dividend = \((369 \times 2) + 82 = 738 + 82 =\) 820
(This is our second number)

The two numbers are 820 and 369.
Q. 3 Quantitative Aptitude Test
Difficulty: Medium (1 Mark)
Highest common factor of 28, 56, 40 is:
A
4
✓ Correct
B
10
C
8
D
14
💡 Step-by-Step Explanation & Concept Rationale
Factors: 28(4,7),56(4,14),40(4,10). 4 is the largest shared divisor.
