The sum of two numbers is 45. Their difference is 1/9 of their sum. Their LCM is = ?

  • 1100
  • 2150
  • 3200
  • 4250
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
Let the two numbers be a and b
Then, a + b = 45.......(i)
And a - b = 5......(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii) we get 2a = 50 or a = 25
Putting a = 125 in (i) we get b = 20

 5   20   -   25 
    4   -   5 

LCM = 5 × 4 × 5 = 100
