If a:b be the ratio of two whole numbers and c be their HCF then the LCM of these two numbers is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Ratio of the numbers = a : b
HCF of the numbers = c
So, z is the common factor of the numbers
Then, First number = ac
Second Number = bc
Now,
First Number × Second Number = HCF × LCM of the numbers
ac × bc = c × LCM
LCM = abc
