    Question

    Two positive numbers are in the ratio of 3 : 4 and the product of their LCM and HCF is 1200. The sum of the numbers is:

    A.

    70

    B.

    60

    C.

    80

    D.

    90

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Ratio of Two numbers = 3 : 4
    HCF × LCM = 1200
    Formula used:
    Product of two numbers = Product of their HCF and LCM
    Solution:
    Let the numbers be 3x, 4x respectively
    HCF of 3x and 4x = x
    LCM = 3 × 4 × x = 12x
    Now, HCF × LCM = 1200
    => x × 12x = 1200
    => 12x2^2​​ = 1200
    => x2^2​ = 100
    => x = 10
    Sum of numbers = 3x + 4x = 7x = 7 × 10
    = 70
