LCM means 275 * __ = 7700.
So 308 or 318.
HCF means it should divide by 11 so 308.
So 308 or 318.
HCF means it should divide by 11 so 308.

It can also be solve like this. By considering options only option C is dividing by 11.

It is based on formula,
Product of two nos = product of their HCF and LCM.
Refer important formula (4).
Product of two nos = product of their HCF and LCM.
Refer important formula (4).

HCF is included in LCM then why 11*7700/275?

Other number = H.C.F.* L.C.M/Given No.
= 11*7700/275
= 84700/275
= 308
Hence, the other number is 308.
= 11*7700/275
= 84700/275
= 308
Hence, the other number is 308.

Let 2 no's with H.C.F 11 are 11x and 11y.
One of the numbers is 275.
L.C.M of 275 and 11y is 275y.
Given L.C.M = 7700.
275y = 7700 => y = 28.
Therefore another number=11*y = 11*28 =308.
One of the numbers is 275.
L.C.M of 275 and 11y is 275y.
Given L.C.M = 7700.
275y = 7700 => y = 28.
Therefore another number=11*y = 11*28 =308.

This type of problem can be solved by a formula:
LCM X HCF = First No. X Second No.
Here
LCM=7700
HCF=11
First No.=275
7700 X 11 = 275 X Second No.
Second No.= 308
LCM X HCF = First No. X Second No.
Here
LCM=7700
HCF=11
First No.=275
7700 X 11 = 275 X Second No.
Second No.= 308
