Two numbers are in the ratio of 2 : 3 and the product of their LCM and HCF is 96. The sum of the numbers is || ADRE 1.0 SLRC 2022 PAPER-III SOLVED QUESTIONS

Two numbers are in the ratio of 2 : 3 and the product of their LCM and HCF is 96. The sum of the numbers is :

(A) 8

(B) 12

(C) 20

(D) 36



Solution:

To solve the problem, let's denote the two numbers as 2x and 3x, where x is a common factor.

We are given that the product of their LCM and HCF is 96. We can use the property that for any two numbers, the product of their LCM and HCF is equal to the product of the numbers themselves:

LCM(2x, 3x) × HCF(2x, 3x) = (2x) × (3x)

Let's denote the LCM as LCM and the HCF as HCF.

Thus,

LCM × HCF = 6x2

We are given that this product is 96:

6x2 = 96

Solving for x:

x2 = 96 / 6
x2 = 16
x = 4

Now we can find the two numbers:

2x = 2 × 4 = 8
3x = 3 × 4 = 12

The sum of the numbers is:

8 + 12 = 20

Thus, the answer is: 20
