    If the product of given two numbers is 22,500, then find the LCM of the numbers.
    A 750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 625 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the HCF of the number be 'H'. So, LCM = 25H Product of two numbers = Product of their HCF and LCM So, 25H X H = 22,500 Or, H2 = 900 Or, 'H' = 30 or, H = - 30 Since, HCF cannot be negative. So, 'H' = 30 Therefore, LCM = 25 X 30 = 750
