H.C.F. of two numbers divides their L.C.M. exactly. Since 16 is not a factor of 136, it states that there does not exist any pair of numbers with H,C.F. 16 and L.C.M. 136.
Correct Option: D

The least common multiple of 38 and 57 is 114 and the multiple which is between 900 and 1000 is 912.
Now, 912 + 23 i,e 935 lies between 900 and 1000 and when divided by 38 and 57 leaves in each case 23 as the remainder.
Therefore, 935 is number required.Correct Option: A

From the question we see that the second number is a common factor of the two products and since the numbers are prime to one another. It is their . H. C. F . and is, therefore, 19.
∴ The first number = 437 / 19 = 23
and the third number = 551 / 19 = 29
Hence, the number are 23, 19 and 29
∴ Sum = 23 + 19 + 29
= 71.Correct Option: C

The L.C.M of 9, 10, 15 = 90
On dividing 1936 by 90, the remainder = 46
But a part of this remainder = 7
Hence, the two numbers = 46 - 7 = 39.Correct Option: C
