a) Rs 2.6
b) Rs 4.6
c) Rs 6.6
d) Rs 9.6
correct answer is: d) Rs 9.6
Explanation
To find the required least amount, we need to find the LCM of the given Rupees.
Let,
Rs 2.4 = Rs 24
Rs 4.8 = Rs 48
Rs 9.6 = Rs 96
So, the LCM of Rs 24,48 and 96 is:
\rightarrow2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times3=96
So that, LCM of Rs 2.4, Rs 4.8 and Rs 9.6 is = Rs 9.6
\therefore Rs 9.6 is the least amount that will give integral quotients when divided by Rs 2.4, Rs 4.8, and Rs 9.6.
Ans: Rs 9.6.
An additional variation of this particular math query can be considered:
- What is the smallest sum that, when divided by Rs 2.4, Rs 4.8, and Rs 9.6, yields integral quotients?
- Find the least total that, upon division by Rs 2.4, Rs 4.8, and Rs 9.6, produces integer quotients.
- What is the smallest possible value that, when divided by Rs 2.4, Rs 4.8, and Rs 9.6, gives integral answers?
- Calculate the minimum amount needed so that when divided by Rs 2.4, Rs 4.8, and Rs 9.6, the result is a whole number.
