    Question

    The HCF of two numbers is 64, and their LCM is 1920.

    What is the sum of the numbers?
    A 704 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 740 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 760 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 780 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the two numbers be 64x and 64y.
    Then,
    Product of the numbers = Product of HCF and LCM
    64x × 64y = 64 × 1920
    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
    64 × 5 + 64 × 6 = 64 × 11 = 704
