Q738: The H.C.F of two numbers is 12 and their difference is 12. The numbers are?

66, 78

70, 82

84, 96

None of these

Explanation

We are given:

H.C.F (Highest Common Factor) = 12
Difference between the two numbers = 12
Step-by-step method:

Let the two numbers be:
x and x + 12

Since H.C.F = 12, both numbers must be divisible by 12.

Let’s assume:

$x = 12 a and x + 12 = 12 b$

So,

$x + 12 - x = 12 b - 12 a = 12 (b - a) = 12 \Rightarrow b - a = 1$

So:

$a = k, b = k + 1 \Rightarrow The numbers are 12 k and 12 (k + 1)$

Try k = 7:

$12 × 7 = 84,quad 12 × 8 = 96 Rightarrow text{Numbers are } 84 text{ and } 96$

Difference: $96 - 84 = 12$
H.C.F of 84 and 96 is 12
