18.
The ratio of two numbers is 3 : 4 and their H.C.F. is 4. Their L.C.M. is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the numbers be 3x and 4x. Then, their H.C.F. = x. So, x = 4.
So, the numbers 12 and 16.
L.C.M. of 12 and 16 = 48.

Hey jayshree
Given hcf = 4
=3x=3x4=12
4x=4x4=16
multiply 3 with 16 and 4 with 12 answer is 48
got it!

Please tell me why use h.c.f value instead of x
hcf * lcm= pro. of no
4*lcm=3x*4x
lcm=3x*4x/4
reply according to this
hcf * lcm= pro. of no
4*lcm=3x*4x
lcm=3x*4x/4
reply according to this

hcf of any two numbers is a factor of those two numbers .. means example if u take hcf of 12 and 18 .. its 6 .. it means 6 is a factor of 12 and 18. 6*2=12 6*3=18
now if i say there are two numbers in ratio 2:3 whose hcf is 6 how will u write the two numbers ??
solve my question and u will understand it
ans: hcf*2 is one number hcf*3 is the other
now if i say there are two numbers in ratio 2:3 whose hcf is 6 how will u write the two numbers ??
solve my question and u will understand it
ans: hcf*2 is one number hcf*3 is the other

L.C.M. OF 3 : 4 IS ............. 12
AND THE H.C.F IS GIVEN 4 IN THE QUESTION
NOW , REQUIRED NUMBER IS [12*4] = 48 ANSWER
IS THE WAY IS RIGHT OR NOT.........

Easy and time saving trick is.
3:4= 3*4 = 12.
12*hcf=>>>> 12*4=48 answer.
3:4= 3*4 = 12.
12*hcf=>>>> 12*4=48 answer.

I understand that assume numbers are 3x & 4x so hcf is x. But now how x is equals to 4?

@Kinjal.
Find out the common multiple of 4&3 you will get the answer.

As nisha said,
a*b = lcm*hcf
3*4 = 4*lcm
We get value lcm = 3.
Why can't we do in this method?
a*b = lcm*hcf
3*4 = 4*lcm
We get value lcm = 3.
Why can't we do in this method?

3:4 = 3*4 = 12.
12*HCF = 12*4 = 48.
12*HCF = 12*4 = 48.
