    A 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the HCF of the number be 'H'.Ā  So, LCM = 25HĀ  Product of two numbers = Product of their HCF and LCMĀ  So, 25H Ɨ H = 3600Ā  Or, H² = 144Ā  Or, H = 12 or H = –12Ā  Since, HCF cannot be negative. So, H = 12Ā  Therefore, LCM = 25 Ɨ 12 = 300Ā
