Answer 1

Answer:

Greater Number would be 112

Step-by-step explanation:

Two numbers are in ratio 2:7

If their LCM is 224.

Let us suppose HCF of two number be x

If we multiply HCF with ratio then we will get actual number.

First Number = 2x

Second Number = 7x

We have a formula

$\text{First number }\times \text{Second number}=LCM\times HCF$

$2x\times 7x=x\times 224$

$14x=224$

x=16

Greater Number = 7x = 7(16)

Thus, Greater Number would be 112
