Assertion is correct but the reason is not correct.

Solution: Let the two positive numbers be a and b. Product of a and b is 150.

Formula for calculating LCM when product and HCF is given:

LCM = Product/ HCF

Here, HCF= 5

Putting values:

LCM = 150/5

= 30

which is given in the question as assertion.

The formula given in reason is incorrect since the operation used in it is addition instead of multiplication.
