The LCM of two numbers is 12 times their HCF. The sum of HCF and LCM is 403. If one number is 93, find the other.
A124
B134
C144
D154
Explanation
Let HCF = h. LCM = 12h. h + 12h = 403 => 13h = 403 => h = 31. LCM = 12 * 31 = 372. Product of numbers = HCF * LCM => 93 * x = 31 * 372 => x = (31 * 372) / 93 = 372 / 3 = 124.
