Question

IF HCF (16, y) = 8 and LCM (16, y) = 48, then the value of y is (a) 24 (b) 16 (c) 8 (d) 48​

Answer 1

Answer: (a) 24

Step-by-step explanation:

It can't be 48 as the HCF of 48 and 16 is 16. 8 is also wrong as the LCM of 16 and 8 is 16. 16 would be incorrect as the HCF and the LCM would be the same. 24 is the only option that matches the requirements
