Question

The lcm and hcf of two numbers are 45 and 3 respectively their sum is 24 what is their difference

Answer 1

LCM =45
HCF =3


Let the numbers be x & y:

x + y = 24...(1)

We know that,
x.y = HCF . LCM 

xy = 45.3 = 135

y = 135/ x...(2)

Substituting 2 in 1:

x + 135/x = 24

x² + 135 - 24 x = 0

Thus x= 15 or 9

Thus y = 9 or 15

Thus the numbers are 9, 15

Their difference is 6

Answer 2

6
