Hard
HCF and LCM
Four numbers are in the ratio 1:2:3:4 with HCF = 7. Find their LCM.
Correct Answer:
B. 1680
Explanation:
Numbers are 7, 14, 21, 28. 7 = 7, 14 = 2 × 7, 21 = 3 × 7, 28 = 2² × 7. LCM = 2² × 3 × 7 = 4 × 3 × 7 × 2 = 1680.
Q.233
Easy
HCF and LCM
Two numbers have an HCF of 12. If one number is 60, find the other number such that their LCM is 180.
Correct Answer:
B. 36
Explanation:
