      Question

      Two numbers are in the ratio 5:7. The product of their

      H.C.F. and L.C.M. is 5040. The sum of the numbers is:
      A 156 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 138 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 144 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 182 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the numbers be 5x and 7x respectively. First number Γ— second number = HCF Γ— LCM => 5x Γ— 7x = 5040 => x2Β = [5040/(5Γ—7)] = 144 => x = √144 = 12 Sum of the numbers = 5x + 7x = 12x = 12 Γ— 12 = 144
