Answer:No.
HCF = 15. It means both the number should have '15' or '5*3' as a common factor.
LCM = 350
350 = 2*5*5*7. Here we can see that '3' doesn't come as a factor of the given numbers. But according to HCF '3' should be a factor.
Hence its not possible to have HCF 15 and LCM 350 for the given 2 numbers.

Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be x and y .
therefore the numbers will be in form 15a and 15b .
LCM = 350
15ab = 350
ab= 23.33
Since the multiple of numbers is in point
Therefore The remainder cannot be zero.
So we can conclude that There are no two numbers which have HCF =15 and LCM = 350 .
