Question : The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 9 and 126, respectively. Find the larger number, if the ratio between the numbers is 2 : 7.
Option 1: 42
Option 2: 63
Option 3: 77
Option 4: 21
Correct Answer: 63
Solution : Let's denote the two numbers as $2x$ and $7x$ (where $x$ is a positive integer) The product of the two numbers is equal to the product of their HCF and LCM: ⇒ $(2x)(7x)$ = HCF $\times$ LCM Given, HCF = 9 and the LCM = 126 ⇒ $(2x)(7x)=9\times126$ ⇒ $14x^2=1134$ ⇒ $x^2=81$ ⇒ $x=9$ $\therefore$ Larger number = 7 × 9 = 63 Hence, the correct answer is 63.
