Q.49 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.
A30
B36
C48
D72
Correct Answer:  B. 36
Explanation:

Using the formula: HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers

12 × 180 = 60 × Other number

2160 = 60 × Other number

Other number = 2160 ÷ 60 = 36

Verification: HCF(60, 36) = 12 ✓ and LCM(60, 36) = 180 ✓

Q.50 Easy HCF and LCM
The HCF of two numbers is 15 and their LCM is 450. If one of the numbers is 90, what is the other number?
A60
B75
C85
D105
Correct Answer:  B. 75
Explanation:

Using HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers:

15 × 450 = 90 × Other number

6750 = 90 × Other number

Other number = 6750 ÷ 90 = 75

Verification: HCF(90, 75) = 15 ✓ and LCM(90, 75) = 450 ✓
