Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
Since, the numbers are given in the form of ratio that means their common factors have been cancelled.
Each one's common factor is HCF. And here HCF = 12, hence, the numbers are 12, 24 and 36.
Alternatively,
Let the numbers be x, 2x and 3x. The HCF in x, 2x and 3x is x because 1, 2, 3 are prime.
Hence, x = 12; then the other numbers are 24 and 36.
