If the sum of LCM and HCF of two numbers is 1260 and their LCM is 900 more than their HCF, then the product of two numbers is
(a) 203400
(b) 194400
(c) 198400
(d) 205400
Let the HCF be x and the LCM of the two numbers be y.
It is given that the sum of the HCF and LCM is 1260
$x+y=1260 \ldots \ldots(i)$
And, LCM is 900 more than HCF.
$y=x+900 \ldots \ldots(i i)$
Substituting (ii) in (i), we get:
$x+x+900=1260$
$2 x+900=1260$
$2 x=1260-900$
$2 x=360$
$x=180$
Substituting $x=180$ in (ii), we get:
$y=180+900$
$y=1080$
We also know that the product the two numbers is equal to the product of their LCM and HCF
Thus the product of the numbers
$=1080(180)$
$=194400$
Hence, the correct choice is (b).
