Question 2:
Which of the following are pairs of co-primes?
(i) 8, 14
(ii) 4, 5
(iii) 17, 19
(iv) 27, 15
ANSWER:
Two numbers which have only 1 as a common factor are said to be co-prime or relatively prime or mutually prime numbers.
We can write 17 as 17 × 1 and 19 as 17 × 1.
Hence, 17 and 19 is a pair of co-prime numbers.

ANSWER:
The greatest length of string that the bundles can be cut up into without any left over string is given by the HCF of 392, 308 and 490.
HCF = 2 × 7 = 14

Question 9:
Which two consecutive even numbers have an LCM of 180?
ANSWER:
Let us suppose the two consecutive even numbers be 2x and 2x + 2.
Now, product of two numbers = HCF × LCM
⇒ (2x)(2x + 2) = 2 × 180 (HCM of two even number is 2)
⇒ (x)(2x + 2) = 180
⇒ 2x2 + 2x = 180
⇒ 2x2 + 2x − 180 = 0
⇒ x2 + x − 90 = 0
⇒ (x − 9)(x + 10) = 0
⇒ x − 9 = 0 or x + 10 = 0
⇒ x = 9 or x = −10 (Neglecting)
Hence, the two consecutive even numbers are18 and 20.
