    Numbers are : 3x and 4x
    Their LCM = 12x
    ∴  12x = 120

    ⇒  x =
    120
    = 10
    12

    ∴  Sum of numbers = 3x + 4x
    = 7x = 7 × 10 = 70

    Correct Option: C

    Let the numbers be 3x and 4x.
    ∴  LCM = 12x
    ∴  12x = 48 ⇒ x = 4
    ∴  Sum of numbers = 7x
    = 7 × 4 = 28

    Correct Option: B

    Let the numbers be 3x and 4x.
    ∴  LCM = 12x
    ∴  12x = 48 ⇒ x = 4
    ∴  Sum of numbers = 7x
    = 7 × 4 = 28



  1. Two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 5 and their LCM is 225. The smaller number is

    Let the numbers be 3x and 5x.
    ∴  LCM = 15x

    ∴  15x = 225 ⇒ x =
    225
    = 15
    15

    ∴  Smaller number = 3x = 3 × 15 = 45

    Correct Option: A

    Let the numbers be 3x and 5x.
    ∴  LCM = 15x

    ∴  15x = 225 ⇒ x =
    225
    = 15
    15

    ∴  Smaller number = 3x = 3 × 15 = 45


  1. Two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 4 and their LCM is 180. The first number is

    If the numbers be 3x and 4x,
    then their LCM = 12x

    ∴  12x = 180 ⇒ x =
    180
    = 15
    12

    ∴  First number = 3x = 45

    Correct Option: D

    If the numbers be 3x and 4x,
    then their LCM = 12x

    ∴  12x = 180 ⇒ x =
    180
    = 15
    12

    ∴  First number = 3x = 45



  1. Two numbers are in the ratio 4 : 5 and their L.C.M. is 180. The smaller number is

    Let the numbers be 4x and 5x.
    Their LCM = 20x
    According to the question,
    20x = 180

    ⇒  x =
    180
    = 9
    20

    ∴  Smaller number
    = 4x = 4 × 9 = 36

    Correct Option: C

    Let the numbers be 4x and 5x.
    Their LCM = 20x
    According to the question,
    20x = 180

    ⇒  x =
    180
    = 9
    20

    ∴  Smaller number
    = 4x = 4 × 9 = 36
