    The LCM of two numbers is 48. The numbers are in the ratio 2: 3. The sum of the numbers is

    A) 28                                

    B) 32

    C) 40        

    D) 64

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    If the numbers are 2x and 3x.
    Then, LCM of 2x and \[3x=6x\]
    LCM = 48                     [given]
    \[\therefore \]      \[6x=48\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[x=\frac{48}{6}=8\]
    So, total numbers are \[(8\times 2=16)\] and \[(8\times 3=24),\] respectively.
    \[\therefore \] Sum \[=16+24=40\]
