Correct question:
The LCM of two numbers is 9 times their HCF .The sum of LCM and HCF is 500 . Find the HCF of two numbers.
Answer:
The HCF of two numbers is 50.
Step-by-step explanation:
let the H.C.F of the two numbers = x
let the L.C.M of the two numbers = y
y = 9x -------equation (1)
y + x = 500 -------- equation (2)
y = 500 - x
Substitute in the value of y in equation (1)
500 - x = 9x
500 = 9x + x
500 = 10x
x = 500 / 10
x = 50
Therefore, the HCF of two numbers is 50.
