Let the two numbers are 2p and 3p respectively.
According to question,
LCM = 54
⇒ p ( 3 × 2 ) = 54
⇒ p = 9
Numbers = 2p = 2 × 9 = 18 and, 3p = 3 × 9 = 27Correct Option: C

L.C.M. of 28 and 42
L.C.M. of 28 and 42 = 2 × 2 × 7 × 3 = 84
H.C. F. of 28 and 42
∴ H.C. F = 14Correct Option: A
L.C.M. of 28 and 42
L.C.M. of 28 and 42 = 2 × 2 × 7 × 3 = 84
H.C. F. of 28 and 42
∴ H.C. F = 14Required ratio = 84 = 6 : 1 14

Maximum quantity in each can = HCF of 21, 42 and 63 litres = 21 litres
Required least number of cans = 21 + 42 + 63 21 21 21
Correct Option: B
Maximum quantity in each can = HCF of 21, 42 and 63 litres = 21 litres
Required least number of cans = 21 + 42 + 63 21 21 21
Required least number of cans = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
