MCQ 11 Mark
Assertion $(A):$ For any two positive integers $a$ and $b, \operatorname{HCF}(a, b) \times \operatorname{LCM}(a, b)=a \times b$
Reason $(R):$ The $\text{HCF}$ of two numbers is $5$ and their product is $150.$ Then their $\text{LCM}$ is $40.$
Reason $(R):$ The $\text{HCF}$ of two numbers is $5$ and their product is $150.$ Then their $\text{LCM}$ is $40.$

Answer
View full question & answer→Correct option: C.
$A$ is true but $R$ is false.
We have,
$\operatorname{LCM}( a , b ) \times \operatorname{HCF}( a , b )= a \times b$
$\text{LCM} \times 5=150$
$\text{LCM} =\frac{150}{5}=30$
$\text{LCM} =30$
$\operatorname{LCM}( a , b ) \times \operatorname{HCF}( a , b )= a \times b$
$\text{LCM} \times 5=150$
$\text{LCM} =\frac{150}{5}=30$
$\text{LCM} =30$
