THE SUM OF TWO NUMBERS IS 45 AND THEIR DIFFERENCE IS 1/9 OF

THEIR SUM. FIND THEIR LCM. 

Answer:-
Let's assume the two numbers be x and y.

From the given information, we have:

x + y = 45 (equation 1) x - y = (1/9) * (x + y) (equation 2)

Simplifying equation 2, we get:

9(x - y) = x + y 9x - 9y = x + y 8x = 10y 4x = 5y (dividing both sides by 2)

We can see that the ratio of x to y is 4:5. So, we can express x and y in terms of a common
multiple as follows:

x = 4a y = 5a

The LCM of x and y would be the product of their highest powers of each prime factor.
Therefore, we need to find the prime factorization of 4 and 5.

4 = 2^2 5 = 5^1

So, the LCM of x and y would be:

LCM(x, y) = 2^2 * 5^1 * a = 20a

Substituting x and y in terms of a, we get:

x + y = 4a + 5a = 9a = 45 a = 5

Therefore, x = 4a = 20 and y = 5a = 25

The LCM of x and y is:

LCM(x, y) = 20 * 25 = 500

So, the LCM of the two numbers is 500.

 2. THE HCF OF THREE NUMBERS IS 24. IF THESE NUMBERS ARE IN THE
RATIO 35: 55: 77, THEN WHAT ARE THOSE NUMBERS?
Answer:-
Let the three numbers be 35x, 55x, and 77x, where x is a common factor.

The HCF of these numbers is given as 24. This means that 24 is a factor of all three numbers.

So, we can write:

35x = 24a 55x = 24b 77x = 24c

where a, b, and c are integers.

We can simplify the above equations by dividing each of them by 5, 11, and 7, respectively. This gives
us:

7x = 24a/5 5x = 24b/11 11x = 24c/7

We can see that a/5, b/11, and c/7 are all integers, since 24 is divisible by 5, 11, and 7.

Now, we need to find the values of a, b, and c that satisfy the above equations and the ratio 35:55:77.

To find the values of a, b, and c, we can write:

a/5 = (7/24)x b/11 = (5/24)x c/7 = (11/24)x

Since a, b, and c are integers, x must be a multiple of 24.

Also, we can see that the ratio of a, b, and c is 7:5:11, which means that they must be in the form of
7k, 5k, and 11k, respectively.

Substituting these values in the above equations, we get:

a = (7/24)x * 5k = (35/24)kx b = (5/24)x * 11k = (55/24)kx c = (11/24)x * 7k = (77/24)kx

We can see that a, b, and c are all multiples of x and 24, which means that they are in the ratio of
35:55:77.

So, the three numbers are:

35x = (35/24)kx * 24 = 35k 55x = (55/24)kx * 24 = 55k 77x = (77/24)kx * 24 = 77k

where k is a positive integer.

To find the value of k, we can use the fact that the HCF of the three numbers is 24. This means that k
must be a multiple of 24.

Let's take k = 24. Substituting this value in the above equations, we get:
35k = 35 * 24 = 840 55k = 55 * 24 = 1320 77k = 77 * 24 = 1848

So, the three numbers are 840, 1320, and 1848.
