Anshu and his friends play the idli-vada game with two numbers smaller than 10. The first time anybody says ‘idli-vada’ is after the number 50. What could these two numbers be?

  • -3

The numbers are 6 and 9. Their least common multiple (LCM) is 54, the first instance of ‘idli-vada’ after 50. Both numbers are under 10, satisfying the game’s criteria.

  1. For ‘idli-vada’ to first occur after 50, the two numbers must have an LCM exceeding 50 but less than 60. Numbers under 10 with this property are 6 and 9, whose LCM is 54. The LCM is calculated as (6 × 9) ÷ 3 = 54, where 3 is their greatest common divisor (GCD). Thus, the first shared multiple after 50 is 54, fulfilling the game’s condition for ‘idli-vada.’
