Question

Two numbers are in ratio 14 : 9, if HCF and LCM of both numbers are 3 and 378, then find the greater number.

This question was previously asked in
HTET 2025 Level 1 PRT Question Paper (5-Jul-2026)
The correct answer is

42

Since the numbers are in ratio 14 : 9 and these two integers have no common factor, the numbers can be written as \(14x\) and \(9x\), where \(x\) is their HCF.

Given the HCF is 3, so \(x = 3\), giving the numbers as \(14 \times 3 = 42\) and \(9 \times 3 = 27\).

Checking the LCM: \(\text{LCM} = 14 \times 9 \times 3 = 378\), which matches the given value.

Therefore, the greater number is 42.
