If the HCF of two numbers ( each greater than 17) be 17 and the LCM be 561, then find the sum of the numbers.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Let the first number = 17x
Let the second number = 17y
Then, ATQ,
LCM × HCF = Product of the two numbers
561 × 17 = 17x × 17y
xy = 33 = 11 × 3
Sum of the numbers = 17 × 11 + 17 × 3 = 238
