LCM and HCF
Q. Let p and q be two integers such that they have 14 and 384 as their HCF and LCM respectively which of the following will be true?
Option
a) Many such p and q exists
b) Only one such p and q exists
c) No such p and q exists
d) Only two such p and q exists
Read Solution (Total 7)

- We know that, HCF is always a factor of LCM.
Since 14 is not a factor of 384.
It follows that there does not exist such p and q.
Hence the answer is option c. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(79) No(1)
- Product of two numbers= LCM/HCF
Let a and b be the two integers and their LCM is L ad HCF is H...
hence, aXb=L/H . Here pXq= 384/14
since, this figure is not completely divisible hence, no such p and q exists.
Ans- C - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(14)
- many such p and q exists(a)
p*q=14*384
14,384 are not prime numbers....so many such p and q exists - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(12)
- LCM = 7*2
HCF = 2^7 * 3
7 is not the factor of 384.
Hence their cant be any such integers
Hence , c - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(3)
- 14 is not a factor of 384. so, option C
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- here option (b) is correct.
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(4)
- c. hcf value as factor should be there in lcm that is not the case here so the ans is c.
