Correct Answer: 1100


Solution : Let the HCF = X
So, the LCM = 44X
Given:
HCF + LCM = 1125
or, X + 44X = 1125
or, 45X = 1125
or, X = $\frac{1125}{45}$ = 25
So, HCF is 25.
LCM is 44X = 44 × 25 = 1100
Given one number is 25.
Let the other number be Y.
1st number × 2nd number = LCM × HCF
⇒ 25 × Y = 1100 × 25
⇒ Y = $\frac{1100 × 25}{25}$ = 1100
So, the other number is 1100.
Hence, the correct answer is 1100.
