HCF(240,192) = 48.
So,LCM(x,16) = 48.
x will be 3,6,12,24,48.

hcf of 240 and 192 is 48

lcm of x and 16 also 48

x will be 3,6,12,24,48

240 = 2*2*2*2*3*5
192 = 2*2*2*2*2*3

So HCF of 240 and 192 = 2*2*2*2*3 =48

LCM of x and 16 = 48

Possible number for x are 3,6,12,24,48

Total 5 chances so option 5

HCF of 240 and 192 = 48 (Both are divisible by 48)
So LCM of X & 16 would be 48 for following 5 values of x : 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 (Option 5)

Maths Quotes

There is something I don't understand about algebra: It has been around for thousands of years, yet no one has ever found out what the value of "x" or "y" really is.

Richard van der Merwe

The whole world is mathematics and mathematics is the whole world.
