Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the 2 numbers be 3x and 4x.(since they are in the ratio 3:4)
Therefore their highest common factor would be x since their ratio are co-primes.
Product of the numbers=H.C.F of the 2 nos.*L.C.M of the 2 nos.
3x*4x=x*240
12x=240 [the x's from lhs and rhs get canceled]
x=20
The smaller no.=3x=60
Hope it helps!! :)
