The sum of two numbers is 88 and their L.C.M. is 870. The two numbers are:
30, 58
We need two numbers with sum 88 and LCM 870.
Option A: 30 and 58. Sum = 88 ✓. LCM: 30 = 2×3×5 and 58 = 2×29; LCM = 2×3×5×29 = 870 ✓.
Option D (the candidate's choice): 35 and 53. Sum = 88 ✓. But LCM(35,53) = 35×53 = 1855 ≠ 870 ✗.
The correct answer is : 30, 58.
