Class 10 Real Numbers Important Questions and Answers:

Q 1. The sum of exponents of prime factors in the prime-factorisation of 196 is:


Options
(a) 3
(b) 4
(c) 5
(d) 2
Ans. (b)
Explanation:
Prime factorization is the method of representing a number as the multiplication of its prime
factors. A number qualifies as prime if it possesses solely two factors , 1 and the number itself.
Here's a breakdown of the sequential procedure for identifying the prime factors in the prime
factorization of 196:
Prime factors of 196 = 2 × 7
2 2

So, sum of exponents = 2+2=4

Q 2. Complete the missing entries in the following factor tree:

Options
(a) 42 and 21
(b) 24 and 12
(c) 7 and 3
(d) 84 and 42
Ans. (a) 42 and 21
Explanation:
Using the factor tree, we have:

From the above factor tree. It is clear that


y = 3 ×7 = 21
and x = 2 × y = 2 × 21
= 42.

Q 3. The LCM of two numbers is 14 times their HCF. The sum of LCM and HCF is 750. If
one number is 250, then find the other number.
Ans. 140
Explanation:
Let HCF be H.
Then LCM =14H
Now, sum of LCM and HCF is 750. [Given]
‫׵‬ 14H + H = 750
֜ 15H = 750
֜ H = 75015
֜ H = 50
‫׵‬ LCM = 14H =14 × 50 = 700
We know that,
Product of LCM and HCF = Product of two numbers.
Then, 700 × 50 = 250 × y
֜ y = 700 × 50250
֜ y = 140
Hence, the other number is 140.

Q 4. On a morning walk, three men step off together and their steps measure 54 cm, 60 cm
and 48 cm, respectively. What is the minimum distance each should walk so that each can
cover the same distance in complete steps?
Ans. 21 m 60 cm
Explanation:
The minimum distance that each should walk is the LCM of 54, 60 and 48.
Now, 54 = 2 × 3 3

60 = 2 ×3×5
2

48 = 2 × 3
4

‫׵‬ LCM (54, 60, 48) = 2 × 3 × 5


4 3

= 2160
‫׵‬ Required distance = 2160 cm
= 21 m 60 cm

Q 5. The LCM of two numbers is M times their HCF. The sum of LCM and HCF is 750. If one
number is 250, then find the other number.
Ans. 140
Explanation:
Let HCF be ‘H’
Then LCM =14H
sum of LCM and HCF is 750.
‫׵‬ 14H + H = 750
֜ 15H = 750
֜ H = 75015
֜ H = 50
‫׵‬ LCM = 14H
= 14×50
= 700
We know
Product of LCM and HCF = Product of two numbers.
Let other number be y
Then, 700 × 50 = 250 × y
֜ y = 700 × 50250
֜ y = 140
Hence, the other number is 140.
