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.

3/4=4/LCM.
LCM/3=4 * 4,
LCM=16 * 3,
LCM=48.
LCM/3=4 * 4,
LCM=16 * 3,
LCM=48.

As x = 4.
And no's are given 3x and 4x.
Putting value of x in above equations
3(4) = 12,
4(4) = 16.
And no's are given 3x and 4x.
Putting value of x in above equations
3(4) = 12,
4(4) = 16.

Let,
LCM = LCM of ratio units x(multiply) HCF.
LCM = 12 x 4(given),
LCM = 48.
LCM = LCM of ratio units x(multiply) HCF.
LCM = 12 x 4(given),
LCM = 48.

The formula of LCM :
LCM = HCF * X * Y,
LCM = 4 * 4 * 3,
LCM = 48.
LCM = HCF * X * Y,
LCM = 4 * 4 * 3,
LCM = 48.
