no it's not possible. the HCF should divide the LCM completely .
here the HCF do not divide the LCM ( 20 do not divide 535).

Answer:
The L.C.M of the number is divisable by the H.C.F of the number completely.
In others words H.C.F divides the L.C.M.
given,
L.C.M = 350
H.C.F = 12
L.C.M/H.C.F = 350/12
= 29 . 16 ------ an integer
.Two number cannot have 350 and 12 as their L.C.M and H.C.H repeetely.
