Correct Answer: $xyz$


Solution : Given: The ratio of number = $x : y$
Highest Common Factor = $z$
Here, $z$ is the common factor of $x$ and $y$. So, the numbers will be $xz$ and $yz$.
Now, $xz × yz$ = Highest Common Factor(HCF) × Lowest Common Multiple(LCM)
So, the Lowest Common Multiple(LCM) = $\frac{xz × yz}{z}$ = $xyz$
Hence, the correct answer is $xyz$.
