      Question

      The HCF of two numbers is 84, and their LCM is 2520.

      What is the sum of the numbers?
      A 924 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 980 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 870 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the two numbers be 84x and 84y.
      Then,
      Product of the numbers = Product of HCF and LCM
      84x Ă— 84y = 84 Ă— 2520
      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
      84 Ă— 5 + 84 Ă— 6 = 84 Ă— 11 = 924
