      Question

      HCF and LCM of two positive numbers are 24 and 144. If

      one number is 50% more than the other number, then find the sum of both numbers
      A 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 110 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 124 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let one number is β€˜a’ So, another number = 1.50 Γ— a = β€˜1.5a’ As we know, Product of two numbers = HCF Γ— LCM Or, (a Γ— 1.5a) = 24 Γ— 144 Or, 1.5aΒ² = 24 Γ— 144 Or, aΒ² = 2304 So, a = √2304 = 48 Hence, another number = 1.5a = (1.5 Γ— 48) = 72 Therefore, sum of both numbers = (48 + 72) = 120
