      Question

      Two numbers are in the ratio 5:12, and their least common

      multiple (LCM) is 1,440. Determine the sum of these two numbers.
      A 408 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 360 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 350 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the two numbers be '5h' and '12h', where 'h' is the HCF of the two given numbers.
      Product of two numbers = (Product of LCM and HCF) of the given two numbers
      5h X 12h = h X 1440
      Or, 60h = 1440
      So, 'h' = (1440/60) = 24
      Therefore, the required sum = 5h + 12h = 17h = 17 X 24 = 408
