Question

If two numbers are in the ratio of 2:3 & the product of the HCF and LCM is 33750, what will be the sum of the numbers ? It is urgent

Answer 1

Answer:

numbers are 150 and 225. the sum is 375

Step-by-step explanation:

the product of the hcf and lcm = the product of the 2 numbers.

so take the 2 numbers as 2x and 3x. then you get:

33750=2x into 3x

= 33750 = 6x^2

= x^2 = 33750 divided by 6 ( after taking 6 to the other side)

x^2 = 5625

then finally x = 75, because the root of 5625 is 75.

so the numbers are 2 into 75 = 150 and 3 into 75 = 225.

their sum is 150+225 = 375
