Correct Answer: 63


Solution : The product of two numbers is equal to the product of their HCF (Highest Common Factor) and LCM (Least Common Multiple).
Let the two numbers as a and b, with a = 18 (given). The HCF is 126 and the LCM is 9.
⇒ a × b = HCF × LCM
⇒ 18 × b = 126 × 9
⇒ b = 63
Hence, the correct answer is 63.
