    B 1552 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1020 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1535 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let HCF of two numbers be тАШxтАЩ So, LCM of two numbers = 18 ├Ч x = 18x Or, x ├Ч 18x = 64800 Or, 18x┬▓ = 64800 Or, x┬▓ = 3600 Or, x = тИЪ3600 = 60 LCM of two numbers = 60 ├Ч 18 = 1080 Let two numbers be тАШ60aтАЩ and тАШ60bтАЩ, where тАШaтАЩ and тАШbтАЩ are co-prime numbers. So, 60ab = 1080 Or, a ├Ч b = 18 So, when a = 1 and b = 18, then difference will be maximum Desired difference = 60 ├Ч 18 тАУ 60 ├Ч 1 = 1020
