Q101
The LCM of three different numbers is 120. Which of the following cannot be their HCF?
A.
8
B.
12
C.
24
D.
35
AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
LCM = 120 (given)LCM is the product of one common factor and other different factors of the given numbers.
∴ Factorize the given LCM = 120
= Here 4 is common factor (common factor is the HCF of the given number)
∴ HCF = 4
So, for the given numbers the HCF should be multiple of 4
⇒ Hence go through options which is not a multiple of 4 is 35
Hence answer is 35
