The first term of an A.P is equal to thrice the common difference, what is the sixth term of the A.P, if the common difference is 8?

A.

64

B.

48

C.

43

D.

24

E.

11

Correct answer is A

first term[a] = 3 * d → 3 * 8 = 24

sixth term of the A.P = a + 5d → 24 + [5 * 8]

⇒  24 + 40 = 64

Divide the LCM of 15abc and 20a\(^2\)bc by their HCF

A.

10a

B.

12a

C.

5abc

D.

12a2bc

E.

60a2bc

Correct answer is B

LCM of 15abc and 20a\(^2\)bc = 60a\(^2\)bc

Factors of 15abc = 1, 3, 5,15, a, b, c     

and of  20a\(^2\)bc = 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, a, b, c

HCF of 15abc and 20a\(^2\)bc = 5abc

→ LCM ÷ HCF = 60a\(^2\)bc ÷ 5abc

= 12a
