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


  • Options
  • A. 40
  • B. 80
  • C. 120
  • D. 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.
