    Question

    The LCM of two numbers is 315. If the numbers are in the ratio 7 : 9, then the sum of the numbers is _____.

    A.

    90

    B.

    100

    C.

    80

    D.

    70

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    LCM of two numbers = 315

    Ratio of numbers = 7 : 9

    Formula Used: 

    LCM = (a × b) / GCD(a, b)

    Solution:

    LCM of numbers in ratio form:

    If numbers are 7k and 9k, then

    HCF(7, 9) = 1

    LCM = (7k × 9k)/1 = 63k

    Given 63k = 315 => k = 5

    Numbers = 7k = 35 and 9k = 45

    Sum = 35 + 45 = 80
