Correct option is D

Given
LCM of two numbers = 84
Ratio of the numbers = 4 : 3
Formula Used
LCM = Common Ratio Multiple \times Product of coprime parts
Solution
Let the common multiple be x.
The two numbers can be written as 4x and 3x.
The LCM of 4x and 3x is 12x.
12x=84x=8412=712x = 84 \\x = \frac{84}{12} = 7​​
First number = 4×7=28 4 \times 7 = 28​​
Second number = 3×7=21 3 \times 7 = 21​​
Sum = 28 + 21 = 49
Final Answer
So the correct answer is (d)
