Hey user
Here is your answer :-
The LCM of two consecutive even numbers is 180.
We know that
LCM of two consecutive numbers is there product divided by 2.
So
product of the numbers = 2 × LCM
= 2 × 180
= 360.
From the option
Only option C has product equal to 360.
so the correct answer is option C .
Thank you

Let the two consecutive even numbers be 2x and 2(x + 1).
We know that product of two numbers = HCF * LCM
⇒ 2x * 2(x + 1) = HCF * LCM
⇒ 2x(x + 1) = HCF(x,x + 1) * 180
⇒ 2x(x + 1) = 1 * 180
⇒ 2x(x + 1) = 180
⇒ x(x + 1) = 90
⇒ x^2 + x = 90
⇒ x^2 + x - 90 = 0
⇒ x^2 + 10x - 9x - 90 = 0
⇒ x(x + 10) - 9(x + 10) = 0
⇒ (x - 9)(x + 10) = 0
⇒ x = 9,-10{It should not be negative}
⇒ x = 9.
Now,
⇒ 2x = 2(9) = 18
⇒ 2(x + 1) = 2(10) = 20.
Therefore, the two numbers are 18 and 20. ---- Option (3).
Hope it helps!
