HCF and LCM

Question:

The ratio of two numbers is 4 : 5, and their HCF is 3. What is their LCM?

Options:

48

80

60

36

Correct Answer:

60

Explanation:

The ratio of two numbers is 4 : 5.

HCF is 3

So, the number becomes

4 × 3 = 12

5 × 3 = 15 

As, we know 

L.C.M × H.C.F = Product of two numbers 

L.C.M × 3  = 12 × 15 

L.C.M = 60
