Answer:
It's not possible for any number to have "18" as "HCF" and "380" as their "LCM" respectively.
To Determine:
Whether any two numbers have their "HCF" as "18" and their "LCM" as "380".
Solution:
HCF tends to be the factor of given LCM
So here HCF = 18 and LCM = 380
Let's check whether 18 is a factor of the given HCF "380"
380/18 = 21.111
Hence two numbers can't have "18" as their "HCF" and "380" as their "LCM".
