Number SystemModerateSSC CGL 2024

The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 9 and 108 respectively. If one of the numbers is 27, what is the other number?

  1. (A)27
  2. (B)45
  3. (C)4
  4. (D)36

Correct answer: (D) 36

For any two numbers, product of the numbers = HCF × LCM. So the other number = (9 × 108) ÷ 27 = 972 ÷ 27 = 36.

Shortcut: Other number = HCF × LCM ÷ given number.
