Quantitative Aptitude ( CCS) LCM, HCF

The product of the LCM and HCF of two numbers is 24. The difference of the two numbers is 2. Find the numbers?

8 and 6

8 and 10

2 and 4

6 and 4

LCM × HCF = 24

∴ Product of numbers = 24

Let no. be = x, y

xy = 24

and x – y = 2

Factors of xy = 24 are (4, 6) (12, 2) (8, 3) (24, 1)

⇒ Now difference between numbers be = (x – y) = 2

So, factor is (4, 6)

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
