    Question

    If 24 is the LCM of two numbers and the numbers are in the ratio of 1 : 2, then the product of the two numbers is:

    A.

    820

    B.

    300

    C.

    280

    D.

    288

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    LCM of two numbers = 24
    Ratio of the two numbers = 1 : 2
    Concept Used:
    LCM ×\times​ HCF = Product of the two numbers.
    Solution:
    Let the two numbers be x and 2x, as they are in the ratio 1 : 2.
    Find the LCM of x and 2x:
    The LCM of x and 2x is 2x.
    Equate the LCM to the given value:
    2x = 24
    x = 12
    Find the two numbers:
    First number = x = 12
    Second number = 2x = 2×\times12 = 24​
    Find the product of the two numbers:
    Product = 12 ×\times 24 = 288​
    Therefore, the product of the two numbers is 288.
