The correct answer is

924

Determine the Value of Number p

We are given that when number p is divided by 55, the quotient is 4 and the remainder is 0.

Using the division algorithm, dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder, we can find p:

\(p = 55 \times 4 + 0\)

\(p = 220\)

Apply HCF and LCM Relationship

For any two positive integers, the product of the numbers is equal to the product of their Highest Common Factor (HCF) and Least Common Multiple (LCM).

The formula is: HCF(p, q) × LCM(p, q) = p × q

We are given:

  • HCF(p, q) = 44
  • LCM(p, q) = 4620
  • p = 220

Calculate the Value of Number q

Substitute the known values into the formula:

\(44 \times 4620 = 220 \times q\)

Now, solve for q:

\(q = \frac{44 \times 4620}{220}\)

To simplify, we can divide 44 by 220:

\(\frac{44}{220} = \frac{1}{5}\)

So the equation becomes:

\(q = \frac{1}{5} \times 4620\)

\(q = \frac{4620}{5}\)

\(q = 924\)

The calculated value for q is 924. Based on the provided options, the correct answer is Option C.
