RRB NTPC · Question 117

The LCM of two numbers is 114 times their HCF. If the sum of LCM and HCF is 2300 and one of the numbers is 380, find the other number.

  1. 140

  2. 160

  3. 120

  4. 190

Show answer & explanation

Answer: (C) 120

Explanation

LCM + HCF = 115 × HCF = 2300, so HCF = 20 and LCM = 2280. The other number = HCF × LCM / 380 = 20 × 2280/380 = 120.
