Question:

Two positive integers are in the ratio of 3 : 4.  Their LCM and HCF are in the ratio of 12 : 1.  If the difference between their LCM and their HCF is 44, then what is the sum of these numbers?

Options:

38

28

56

120

Correct Answer:

28

Explanation:

LCM - HCF = 44

12R - 1R = 44

11R = 44

R = 4

HCF = 1R = 4

∴ Sum of numbers = (3 + 4) × 4 = 7 × 4 = 28
