Question : The ratio of the LCM of two numbers to the sum of the same two numbers is 12 : 7. If their HCF is 4, what is the product of these two numbers?

Option 1: 192

Option 2: 172

Option 3: 196

Option 4: 169

Team Careers360 8th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 192


Solution : HCF = 4
Let the numbers be $4a$ and $4b$.
So, LCM = $4ab$
The ratio of LCM to the sum of numbers = 12 : 7
⇒ $\frac{4ab}{4a+4b} = \frac{12}{7}$
⇒ $\frac{ab}{a+b} = \frac{12}{7}$
⇒ $ab = 12$ and $a+b = 7$
Now, $a(7-a)
