Question 1 A

Using Euclid’s division algorithm, find the HCF of 156 and 504
Sol :
Given numbers are 156 and 504
Here, 504 > 156
So, we divide 504 by 156
By using Euclid’s division lemma, we get
504 = 156 × 3 + 36
Here, r = 36 ≠ 0.
On taking 156 as dividend and 36 as the divisor and we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
156 = 36 × 4 + 12
Here, r = 12 ≠ 0
So, on taking 36 as dividend and 12 as the divisor and again we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
36 = 12 × 3 + 0
The remainder has now become 0, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this last stage is 12, the HCF of 156 and 504 is 12.

Question 1 B

So, on taking 90 as dividend and 45 as the divisor and again we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
90 = 45 × 2 + 0

So, on taking 35 as dividend and 7 as the divisor and again we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
35 = 7 × 5 + 0
The remainder has now become 0, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this last stage is 7, the HCF of 455 and 42 is 7.

5440 = 3400 × 1 + 2040
Here, r = 2040 ≠ 0.
On taking 3400 as dividend and 2040 as the divisor and we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
3400 = 2040 × 1 + 1360
Here, r = 1360 ≠ 0
So, on taking 2040 as dividend and 1360 as the divisor and again we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
2040 = 1360 × 1 + 680
Here, r = 680 ≠ 0
So, on taking 1360 as dividend and 680 as the divisor and again we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
1360 = 680 × 2 + 0
The remainder has now become 0, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this last stage is 680, the HCF of 8840 and 23120 is 680.

Using Euclid’s division algorithm, find the HCF of 4052 and 12576
Sol :
Given numbers are 4052 and 12576

By using Euclid’s division lemma, we get
12576 = 4052 × 3 + 420
Here, r = 420 ≠ 0.

So, on taking 124 as dividend and 24 as the divisor and again we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
124 = 24 × 5 + 4
Here, r = 4 ≠ 0
So, on taking 24 as dividend and 4 as the divisor and again we apply
Euclid’s division lemma, we get
24 = 4 × 6 + 0

1343 = 632 × 2 + 79
Here, r = 79 ≠ 0
So, on taking 632 as dividend and 79 as the divisor and again we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
632 = 79 × 8 + 0
The remainder has now become 0, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this last stage is 79, the HCF of 3318 and 4661 is 79.

Question 1 G

Using Euclid’s division algorithm, find the HCF of 250, 175 and 425
Sol :
Given numbers are 250, 175 and 425

On applying Euclid’s division lemma for 425 and 250, we get
425 = 250 × 1 + 175
Here, r = 175 ≠ 0.
So, again applying Euclid’s division lemma with new dividend 250 and new divisor 175, we get
250 = 175 × 1 + 75
Here, r = 75 ≠ 0
So, on taking 175 as dividend and 75 as the divisor and again we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
175 = 75 × 2 + 25
Here, r = 25 ≠ 0.
So, again applying Euclid’s division lemma with new dividend 75 and new divisor 25, we get
75 = 25 × 3 + 0
Here, r = 0 and divisor is 25.
So, HCF of 425 and 225 is 25.
Now, applying Euclid’s division lemma for 175 and 25, we get
175 = 25 × 7 + 0
Here, remainder = 0

On applying Euclid’s division lemma for 4407 and 2938, we get
4407 = 2938 × 1 + 1469
Here, r = 1469 ≠ 0.
So, again applying Euclid’s division lemma with new dividend 2938 and new divisor 1469, we get
2938 = 1469 × 2 + 0
The remainder has now become 0, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1469, the HCF of 4407 and 2938 is 1469.
Now, applying Euclid’s division lemma for 1469 and 1469, we get
1469 = 1469 × 1 + 0

So, HCF of 4407, 2938 and 1469 is 1469.

Question 2

Show that every positive even integer is of the form 2q and that every positive odd integer is of the form 2q + 1, where q is some integer.
Sol :
Let a and b be any two positive integers, such that a > b.
Then, a = bq + r, 0 ≤ r < b …(i) [by Euclid’s division lemma]
On putting b = 2 in Eq. (i), we get
a = 2q + r, 0 ≤ r < 2 …(ii)
⇒ r = 0 or 1
When r = 0, then from Eq. (ii), a = 2q, which is divisible by 2
When r = 1, then from Eq. (ii), a = 2q + 1, which is not divisible by 2.
Thus, every positive integer is either of the form 2q or 2q + 1.
That means every positive integer is either even or odd. So, if a is a positive even integer, then a is of the form 2q and if a, is a positive odd integer, then a is of the form 2q + 1.

Question 3

Show that any positive odd integer is of the form 4q + 1 or 4q + 3, where q is some integer.
Sol :

Let a be any positive odd integer. We apply the division algorithm with a and b = 4.
Since 0 ≤ r < 4, the possible remainders are 0,1,2 and 3.
i.e. a can be 4q, or 4q + 1, or 4q + 2, or 4q + 3, where q is the quotient.
As we know a is odd, a can’t be 4q or 4q + 2 because they both are divisible by 2.
Therefore, any positive odd integer is of the form 4q + 1 or 4q + 3.

Question 4

There are 250 and 425 liters of milk in two containers. What is the maximum capacity of the container which can measure completely the quantity of milk in the two containers?
Sol :
Given the capacities of the two containers are 250 L and 425 L.
Here, 425 > 250
Now, we divide 425 by 250.
We used Euclid’s division lemma.
425 = 250 × 1 + 175
Here, remainder r = 175 ≠ 0
So, the new dividend is 250 and the new divisor is 175, again we apply Euclid division algorithm.
250 = 175 × 1 + 75
Here, remainder r = 75 ≠ 0
On taking the new dividend is 175 and the new divisor is 75, we apply Euclid division algorithm.
175 = 75 × 2 + 25
Here, remainder r = 25 ≠ 0
On taking new dividend is 75 and the new divisor is 25, again we apply Euclid division algorithm.
75 = 25 × 3 + 0
Here, remainder is zero and divisor is 25.
So, the HCF of 425 and 250 is 25.
Hence, the maximum capacity of the required container is 25 L.

Question 5

A rectangular surface has length 4661 meters and breadth 3318 meters. On this area, square tiles are to be put. Find the maximum length of such tiles.
Sol :
Given length and breadth are 4661 m and 3318 m respectively.
Here, 4661 > 3318
So, we divide 4661 by 3318
By using Euclid’s division lemma, we get
4661 = 3318 × 1 + 1343
Here, r = 1343 ≠ 0.
On taking 3318 as dividend and 1343 as the divisor and we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
3318 = 1343 × 2 + 632
Here, r = 632 ≠ 0
So, on taking 1343 as dividend and 632 as the divisor and again we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
1343 = 632 × 2 + 79
Here, r = 79 ≠ 0
So, on taking 632 as dividend and 79 as the divisor and again we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
632 = 79 × 8 + 0
The remainder has now become 0, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this last stage is 79, the HCF of 3318 and 4661 is 79.
Hence, the maximum length of such tiles is 79 meters.

Question 6

Find the least number of square tiles which can the floor of a rectangular shape having length and breadth 16 meters 58 centimeters and 8 meters 32.
Sol :
Firstly, we find the length of the largest tile so for that we have to find the HCF of 1658 and 832.
Here, 1658 > 832
So, we divide 1658 by 832
By using Euclid’s division lemma, we get
1658 = 832 × 1 + 826
Here, r = 826 ≠ 0.
On taking 832 as dividend and 826 as the divisor and we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
832 = 826 × 1 + 6
Here, r = 6 ≠ 0
So, on taking 826 as dividend and 6 as the divisor and again we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
826 = 6 × 137 + 4
Here, r = 4 ≠ 0
So, on taking 6 as dividend and 4 as the divisor and again we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
6 = 4 × 1 + 2
Here, r = 2 ≠ 0
So, on taking 4 as dividend and 2 as the divisor and again we apply Euclid’s division lemma, we get
4 = 2 × 2 + 0
The remainder has now become 0, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this last stage is 79, the HCF of 1658 and 832 is 2.
So, the length of the largest tile is 2 cm
Area of each tile = 2 × 2 = 4cm²
The required number of tiles =$\dfrac{\text{Area of floor}}{\text{Area of tiles}}$

$=\dfrac{1658\times 832}{2\times 2}$
= 344864
Least number of square tiles are required are 344864
