The LCM of two multiples is 1056 and the HCF is 12. If one of the numbers is 132, the other number is :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Let number be 12x and 12y respectively
LCM = 12xy
12xy = 1056 (given)
xy = 88
∴ Possible pairs are (1, 88), (8, 11)
Possible numbers are = (12, 1056)(96, 132)
Given that one number is 132
So, other is 96
