Question

The H.C.F. and L.C.M. of two numbers are $8$ and $96$ respectively. If one number is $24,$ the other number is

• A. $12$
• B. $16$
• C. $32$
• D. $48$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $32$

Let the other number be $x.$
We know that,
$\text{H.C.F.}\times \text{L.C.M.}=\text{Product of two numbers}$
$\Rightarrow 8\times 96=24\times x$
$\Rightarrow x=32$
