Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 3:4. If their l.



c. M is 240, then smallest of two nos is?

Answer 1

Answer: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers are in the ratio 3:4

Let us consider the numbers as 3x & 4x

3x = 3 * x

4x = 4 * x = 2² * x

So, LCM = 3 * 2² * x = 12x

12x = 240

= x = 240/12 = 20

Hence numbers are 3x = 3*20 = 60

and 4x = 4 * 20 = 80.

Smallest number = 60
