Let the numbers be 4p and 5p.
∴ H.C.F. = p = 8
∴ Numbers = 4p = 4 × 8 = 32 and 5p = 5 × 8 = 40Correct Option: D
Let the numbers be 4p and 5p.
∴ H.C.F. = p = 8
∴ Numbers = 4p = 4 × 8 = 32 and 5p = 5 × 8 = 40
∴ Their LCM = 160

If the numbers be 2p and 3p , then LCM = 6p
∴ 6p = 48 ⇒ p = 8
∴ Required sum = 2p + 3p = 5pCorrect Option: C
If the numbers be 2p and 3p , then LCM = 6p
∴ 6p = 48 ⇒ p = 8
∴ Required sum = 2p + 3p = 5p = 5 × 8 = 40

Let the numbers be 3p and 4p respectively
As we know that ,
First number × second number = HCF × LCM
⇒ 3p × 4p = 2028⇒ p2 = 2028 = 169 3 × 4
∴ p = √169 = 13
Correct Option: D
Let the numbers be 3p and 4p respectively
As we know that ,
First number × second number = HCF × LCM
⇒ 3p × 4p = 2028⇒ p2 = 2028 = 169 3 × 4
∴ p = √169 = 13
∴ Sum of the numbers = 3p + 4p = 7p = 7 × 13 = 91

Let the numbers be 4p and 4q where p and q are prime to each other.
LCM = 4pq∴ ( 4p + 4q ) = 7 4pq 12
⇒ 12 (p + q) = 7pq
⇒ p = 3, q = 4
Correct Option: C
Let the numbers be 4p and 4q where p and q are prime to each other.
LCM = 4pq∴ ( 4p + 4q ) = 7 4pq 12
⇒ 12 (p + q) = 7pq
⇒ p = 3, q = 4
∴ Smaller number = 4 × 3 = 12

Numbers = 3p and 4p
HCF = p = 4
∴ LCM = 12p = 12 × 4Correct Option: A
Numbers = 3p and 4p
HCF = p = 4
∴ LCM = 12p = 12 × 4 = 48
