SOLUTION

TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT OPTION

If the LCM of two numbers is 3600 , then which of the following numbers cannot be their HCF

(a) 600

(b) 500

(c) 400

(d) 150

EVALUATION

We know that for the given two or more numbers HCF is the greatest number that divides each of the numbers

Also for the given two or more numbers LCM is the least number which is exactly divisible by each of the given numbers

Now for given two or more numbers LCM divisible by HCF

Here it is given that the LCM of two numbers is 3600

(a) 600 divides 3600

So 600 can be HCF

(b) 500 does not divide 3600

So 500 can not be HCF

(c) 400 divides 3600

So 400 can be HCF

(d) 150 divides 3600

So 150 can be HCF

FINAL ANSWER

Hence the correct option is (b) 500
