The H.C.F. and L.C.M. of two numbers are 8 and 48 respectively. If one of the number is 24, then the other number is

1. 48
2. 36
3. 24
4. 16

Correct Option: D

Here , LCM = 48 , HCF = 8 , First number = 24 , Second number = ?
As We know that ,
First number × second number = HCF × LCM
⇒ 24 × second number = 8 × 48

∴ Second number =	8 × 48	= 16
	24
