Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : C Given: The LCM of two numbers is 6 times their HCF. One of them is 45 and the sum of HCF and LCM is 315. Formula used: LCM × HCF = N1 × N2 LCM = least common factor, HCF = Heighest common factor N1 = first number, N2 = second number Calculation: According to the question, N1 = 45 LCM = 6 HCF LCM + HCF = 315 ⇒ 6 × HCF + HCF = 315 ⇒ 7 HCF = 315 ⇒ HCF = 315/7 ⇒ HCF = 45 ⇒ LCM = 6 × HCF ⇒ LCM = 6 × 45 = 270 Then, LCM × HCF = N1 × N2 ⇒ 270 × 45 = 45 × N2 ⇒ N2 = 270 ∴ The other number is 270. |
