Option 1 : 34
Given:
L.C.M = 144
H.C.F = 2
Calculation:
L.C.M = 144
H.C.F = 2
Let consecutive even numbers be a and b
H.C.F = 2
So,
Numbers are 2a and 2b
⇒ L.C.M = 2ab
According to the question,
2ab = 144
⇒ ab = 72
Now,
We have to make form 2ab
Pair of 72 = 8, 9
⇒ 2 × 8 × 9 = 144
⇒ 2a = 2 × 8 = 16
⇒ 2b = 2 × 9 = 18
⇒ Sum of numbers = 16 + 18 = 34
∴ The sum of these two numbers is 34.
