Question:
[Section A]
If $\text{HCF}(a, b) = 12$ and $a \times b = 1800$, then $\text{LCM}(a, b)$ is:
(a) 3600
(b) 150
(c) 900
(d) 120
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: $\text{HCF}(a, b) \times \text{LCM}(a, b) = a \times b$.
$\text{LCM}(a, b) = \dfrac{a \times b}{\text{HCF}(a, b)} = \dfrac{1800}{12} = 150$. [1.0 Mark]
Correct Answer: (b) 150
