Q. The LCM of two multiples of 12 is 1056. If one of the number is 132, the other number is ?
✅ Correct Answer: (C)
96
Explanation: Let number be 12x and 12y respectively
LCM = 12xy
12xy = 1056 (given)
xy = 88
∴ Possible pairs are (1, 88), (8, 11)
Possible numbers are = (12, 1056)(96, 132)
given that one number is 132
so other is 96
LCM = 12xy
12xy = 1056 (given)
xy = 88
∴ Possible pairs are (1, 88), (8, 11)
Possible numbers are = (12, 1056)(96, 132)
given that one number is 132
so other is 96
