a) 36\large\frac{1}{4}
b) 46\large\frac{1}{4}
c) 56\large\frac{1}{4}
d) 66\large\frac{1}{4}
correct answer is: c) 56\large\frac{1}{4}
Explanation
Here given Rupees =3\large\frac{3}{4}\normalsize,5\large\frac{5}{4}\normalsize,4\large\frac{11}{16}
Or, Rupees \large\frac{15}{4},\large\frac{25}{4},\large\frac{75}{16} [covert mixed to improper fraction]
To find the required least quantity we need to LCM the given Rupees.
We know,
The formula we use to get the LCM of two or more fractions is:
\large\frac{The\ LCM\ of\ Numerator}{The\ HCF\ of\ Denominator}
\rightarrow LCM of Numerators 15,25,75 is =5\times5\times3\times3=225
\rightarrow HCF of Denominators 4,4,16 is =4
So that, the LCM of 3\large\frac{3}{4}\normalsize,5\large\frac{5}{4}\normalsize,4\large\frac{11}{16} is =\large\frac{225}{4} or 56\large\frac{1}{4}
\therefore Rs 56\large\frac{1}{4} is the least quantity which, when divided by Rs 3\large\frac{3}{4}, Rs 5\large\frac{5}{4} and Rs 4\large\frac{11}{16}, yields integral quotients.
Ans: Rupees 56\large\frac{1}{4} is the least quantity.
