    Question

    The HCF of two numbers is 56, and their LCM is 1680.

    What is the sum of the numbers?
    A 616 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 625 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 640 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 680 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the two numbers be 56x and 56y.
    Then,
    Product of the numbers = Product of HCF and LCM
    56x × 56y = 56 × 1680
    xy = 30
    Let x = 5 and y = 6 (As co-prime factors of 30 are 5 and 6).
    Then, the sum of the numbers is
    56 × 5 + 56 × 6 = 56 × 11 = 616
