Correct option is (B) 194400

Let both numbers are a and b.

Also let LCM and HCF of both numbers a and b are L and H respectively.

According to given conditions,

L+H = 1260   __________(1)

L = 900+H     __________(2)

\(\therefore\) 900+2H = 1260   (From (1) & (2))

\(\Rightarrow\) 2H = 1260 - 900 = 360

\(\Rightarrow\) \(H=\frac{360}2=180\)

\(\therefore\) L = 900+180 = 1080

Now, product of both numbers = Product of their HCF and LCM.

i.e., a \(\times\) b = HCF (a, b) \(\times\) LCM (a, b)

\(\therefore\) Product of both numbers \(=H\times L=180\times1080\)

= 194400
