Athe sum of the two numbers
Bthe product of the two numbers
Cthe difference of the two numbers
Dthe larger of the two numbers
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. the product of the two numbers
1. There is a fixed relation between HCF and LCM of two numbers.
2. **HCF × LCM = product of the two numbers.**
3. e.g. for 12 and 18: 6 × 36 = 216 = 12 × 18.
