    Question

    LCM of two numbers is 5 times their HCF. The product of

    the numbers is 4500. What will be the maximum possible difference between the numbers?
    A 157 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 152 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 102 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 135 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let HCF of two numbers be β€˜x’ So, LCM of two numbers = 5 Γ— x = 5x Or, x Γ— 5x = 4500 Or, 5xΒ² = 4500 Or, xΒ² = 900 Or, x = √900 = 30 LCM of two numbers = 30 Γ— 5 = 150 Let two numbers be β€˜30a’ and β€˜30b’, where β€˜a’ and β€˜b’ are co-prime numbers. So, 30ab = 150 Or, a Γ— b = 5 So, when a = 1 and b = 5, then difference will be maximum Desired difference = 30 Γ— 5 – 30 Γ— 1 = 120
