Q: Two numbers are in the ratio of 3:5. If their HCF is 8, then find the numbers.
  • A. 36 and 60
  • B. 48 and 80
  • C. 12 and 20
  • D. 24 and 40
Correct Answer: Option D - Let both numbers are 3x and 5x. HCF of both numbers = x According to the question, x = 8 Hence, both numbers = 3×8 and 5×8 = 24 and 40
