The ratio of two numbers is 15 : 11. If their HCF is 13. then the numbers are:
(a) 75. 55 (b) 45. 22 (c) 104, 44 d) 195, 143
Answers
AnswEr:
Option (d) is Correct.
Two Numbers are in the Ratio of 15: 11 [Given]
Let us Consider that the Numbers are 15x & 11x.
HCF of the Given Ratio is 13. [Given]
So, x = 13
Now,
Additional information-
HCF is the Highest Common Factor it can be found by finding all the common factors and taking large Number.
A Ratio is the Comparison of two or more Numbers and shows relation between them.
(D) 195 , 143
Step-by-step explanation:
Given information :
Ratio of two numbers is :- 15 : 11
Their HCF is 13
_____________________________
Question :- To Find the two numbers
SOLUTION :
Let the two numbers be 15 y and 11y ( since they are in ratio )
Their hcf is 13
So the numbers are :
15 y = 15 × 13 = 195
11y = 11 × 13 = 143
•°• the two required numbers are 195 and 143.
H.C.F = Highest common factor .
It is the largest common factor of two numbers
Example :- Hcf of 12 and 18 is 6
h.c.f can be find in 3 ways :
> Factorization method
> Prime factorization method
> division method
