    Given , LCM = 225 , HCF = 15 , First number = 75 , Second number = ?
    As We know that ,
    First number × Second number = HCF × LCM
    ⇒ 75 × Second number = 15 × 225

    ∴ Second number =
    15 × 225
    75

    Correct Option: D

    Given , LCM = 225 , HCF = 15 , First number = 75 , Second number = ?
    As We know that ,
    First number × Second number = HCF × LCM
    ⇒ 75 × Second number = 15 × 225

    ∴ Second number =
    15 × 225
    = 45
    75


  1. The LCM of two numbers is 520 and their HCF is 4. If one of the number is 52, then the other number is

    Given that , LCM = 520 , HCF = 4 , First number = 52, Second number = ?
    We can find other number with the help of the given formula ,
    First number × second number = HCF × LCM
    ⇒ 52 × second number = 4 × 520

    Correct Option: A

    Given that , LCM = 520 , HCF = 4 , First number = 52, Second number = ?
    We can find other number with the help of the given formula ,
    First number × second number = HCF × LCM
    ⇒ 52 × second number = 4 × 520

    ⇒ Second number =
    4 × 520
    = 40
    52



  1. The product of two numbers is 2028 and their HCF is 13. The number of such pairs is

    Here, HCF = 13
    Let the numbers be 13p and 13q ,where p and q are Prime to each other.
    Now, 13p × 13q = 2028

    ⇒ pq =
    2028
    = 12
    13 × 13

    Correct Option: B

    Here, HCF = 13
    Let the numbers be 13p and 13q ,where p and q are Prime to each other.
    Now, 13p × 13q = 2028

    ⇒ pq =
    2028
    = 12
    13 × 13

    The possible pairs are :- ( 1 , 12 ) , ( 3 , 4 ) , ( 2 , 6 )
    But the 2 and 6 are not co-prime.
    ∴ The required no. of pairs = 2


  1. LCM of two numbers is 2079 and their HCF is 27. If one of the number is 189, the other number is

    Here , LCM = 2079 , HCF = 27 , First number = 189, Second number = ?
    We can find other number with the help of the given formula ,

    Second number =
    H.C.F. × L.C.M.
    First Number

    Correct Option: A

    Here , LCM = 2079 , HCF = 27 , First number = 189, Second number = ?
    We can find other number with the help of the given formula ,

    Second number =
    H.C.F. × L.C.M.
    First Number

    Second number =
    27 × 2079
    = 297
    189



  1. The product of two numbers is 2160 and their HCF is 12. Number of such possible pairs is

    Given that , HCF = 12
    Let Numbers are 12p and 12q , where p and q are prime to each other.
    ∴ 12p × 12q = 2160

    ⇒ pq =
    2160
    = 15
    12 × 12

    Correct Option: B

    Given that , HCF = 12
    Let Numbers are 12p and 12q , where p and q are prime to each other.
    ∴ 12p × 12q = 2160

    ⇒ pq =
    2160
    = 15
    12 × 12

    Possible Factors of 15 = 3 × 5, 1 × 15
    So , Possible pairs = ( 36 , 60 ) and ( 12 , 180 ) .
    Hence , Number of such possible pairs is 2.
