The LCM of two numbers is 12 times their HCF. The sum of HCF and LCM is 403. If one number is 93, find the other = ?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Let HCF be }}h{\text{ and LCM be }}l \cr
& {\text{Then }}l = {\text{ }}12h{\text{ and}} \cr
& {\text{ }}l + h{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}403 \cr
& \therefore 12h + h = 403{\text{ or }}h = {\text{ }}31 \cr
& {\text{So }}l{\text{ = }}\left( {403 - 31} \right) = 372 \cr
& {\text{Hence other number}} \cr
& {\text{ = }}\left( {\frac{{31 \times 372}}{{93}}} \right) = 124 \cr} $$
