    Question

    Three natural numbers X,Y,Z are

    pairwise co-prime and satisfy the following conditions, the least common multiple (LCM) of X and Y is 391, the LCM of Y and Z is 667, If all three numbers are pairwise co-prime natural numbers, find the sum of X+Y+Z.
    A 42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 69 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Since, the numbers are co-prime they will have only 1 as the common factor. So, LCM of X and Y = X×Y = 391 LCM of Y and Z = Y×Z = 667 So, X×Y ÷ Y×Z = 391 ÷ 667 X ÷ Z = 17 ÷ 29 Since, it is given that Z is less than 30 and all the numbers are natural numbers. So, X = 17 and Z = 29 Substituting the value of X we get, Y = 23 Therefore, sum of the three numbers = 17 + 23 + 29 = 69
