Two numbers are in ratio 2 : 7 and their L.C.M. is 182. The greater number is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 91
Let the two numbers be 2x and 7x.
Since 2 and 7 are coprime,
$\text{LCM} = 2 \times 7 \times x = 14x$
Given:
$14x = 182 \Rightarrow x = 13$
So the numbers are:
$2x = 26,\quad 7x = 91$
The greater number is 91
