Question:

The LCM of two numbers is 12 times their HCF.  The sum of the HCF and the LCM is 403.  If one of the numbers is 93, then the other number is?

Options:

124

128

134

138

Correct Answer:

124

Explanation:

LCM = 12 × HCF

HCF + LCM = 403

HCF + 12 HCF = 403

13 HCF = 403

HCF = 31

∴ a × b = LCM × HCF

93 × b = 12 × 31 × 31

b = \(\frac{12 × 31 × 31}{93}\)

b = 124
