Solution: C

Let’s analyse all the options:

Option (a): It is possible that HCF is 1 when one number is even and other is odd. E.g. Let 6 and 5 are two numbers which are even and odd respectively and the HCF of these two numbers is 1. Hence, this statement may be true.

Option (b): It is possible that HCF is 1 when both numbers are odd. E.g. Let 7 and 9 are the two numbers which are odd and the HCF of these two numbers is 1. Hence, this statement may be true too.

Option (d): It is possible that HCF is 1 when at least one of two numbers, i.e. x and y, is prime. E.g. Let 5 and 12 are two numbers and HCF of these two numbers is 1. Hence, this may also be true.

Option (c): When both the numbers are even, 2 is definitely a common factor. Hence, this statement is definitely false.

Hence, option (c) is the correct.

Solution: C

Initially the total weight of class = 20 x 45 = 900 kgs
Now, the total weight when a student has been replaced = 20 x 44 = 880 kgs.
It means that the weight of the new student is 20 kgs less than the replaced student. Hence, the weight of the replaced student = 40 + 20 = 60 kgs.

Hence, option (c) is correct.

Solution: B

Let the selling price of one pen be = S
Thus, selling price of 100 pens is 100S
It is given that; profit is equal to selling price of 40 pens (40 S)
Thus, cost price of 100 pens is (100 S- 40 S= 60 S)
Thus, on cost price of 60 S profit is 40 S
Thus, profit percent = (40S/60S) X 100= 66.67%

Hence, option (b) is correct.

Solution: D

Woman’s daughter-in-law’s father-in-law implies woman’s husband.

Again, the father of the woman’s husband implies woman’s father-in-law.

Hence, the man is woman’s father-in-law

Hence, option(d) is correct.
