Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 40 GIVEN: L.C.M = 48 and the numbers are in the ratio 2 : 3 FORMULA USED: Product of the two numbers = L.C.M × H.C.F CALCULATION: Let the H.C.F of the two numbers be x ⇒ The numbers are 2x and 3x and LC.M is 48 ⇒ Product of the two numbers = L.C.M × H.C.F ⇒ 2x × 3x = 48 × x ⇒ x = 8 ⇒ Numbers are 2 × 8 = 16 and 3 × 8 = 24 ∴ Sum of the two numbers = 16 + 24 = 40 |
