Number SystemModerateSSC CGL 2024

The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 2 and 80 respectively. If one of the numbers is 10, what is the other number?

  1. (A)18
  2. (B)16
  3. (C)14
  4. (D)8

Correct answer: (B) 16

For any two numbers, product of the numbers = HCF × LCM. So the other number = (2 × 80) ÷ 10 = 160 ÷ 10 = 16.

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