Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Let HCF = }}x \cr & {\text{LCM = 44}}x \cr & {\text{given HCF + LCM}} \cr & = 44x + x = 45x \cr & 45x = {\text{ }}112{\text{5}} \cr & x = \frac{{1125}}{{45}} = 25 \cr & \therefore {\text{HCF}} = {\text{25}} \cr & {\text{LCM = 25}} \times {\text{44}} \cr & {\text{also given that one number}} \cr & {\text{ = 25}} \cr & {\text{Let another number = }}y \cr & \therefore 25y = 25 \times 25 \times 44 \cr & y = \frac{{25 \times 25 \times 44}}{{25}} \cr & y = 1100 \cr} $$
