Three number are in the ratio of 3 : 4 : 5 and their L.C.M. is 2400. Their H.C.F. is:

40
80
120
200

Correct Answer: 40

Explanation:

Let the numbers be 3 x , 4 x and 5 x

Then, their L.C.M. = 60x.

So, 60x = 2400 or x = 40.

∴ The numbers are (3 x 40), (4 x 40) and (5 x 40).

Hence, required H.C.F. = 40.
