Question
The product of 2 two digit numbers is 300 and their HCF is 5. What are the numbers?
Solution
Given that HCF of 2 numbers is 5
The numbers may like 5x and 5y
Also given their product = 300
5x × 5y = 300
⇒ 25xy = 300
⇒ xy = `300/25`
⇒ xy = 12
The possible values of x and y be (1, 12) (2, 6) (3, 4)
The numbers will be (5x, 5y)
⇒ (5 × 1, 5 × 12) = (5, 60)
⇒ (5 × 2, 5 × 6) = (10, 30)
⇒ (5 × 3, 5 × 4) = (15, 20)
(5, 60) is impossible because the given the numbers are two digit numbers.
The remaining numbers are (10, 30) and (15, 20)
But given that HCF is 5
(10, 30) is impossible, because its HCF = 10
The numbers are 15, 20
