Question

Hcf of 2 numbers is 12 and their lcm is 6 times their hcf. If one number isblarger thanthe other num by 12 What is the product of digits of smaller number options are 12, 8, 18, 15​

Answer 1

Let the other number be

′

x

′

Given:LCM+HCF=600

⇒14HCF+HCF=600

⇒15HCF=600

⇒HCF=40

⇒LCM=14×40=560

Since HCFxLCM=Product of 2 numbers

=>40×560 = 280×x

⇒x=

280

40×560

⇒x=40×2

⇒x=80

hence the other number is 80.
