The L.C.M. of two numbers is 48. The numbers are in the ratio 2 : 3. Then sum of the number is:  Choose the correct choice from the following: A) 28 B) 32 C) 40 D) 53 E) 54
Let the numbers be 2x and 3x.   Then, their L.C.M. = 6x.   So, 6x = 48 or x = 8.   The numbers are 16 and 24.   Hence, required sum = (16 + 24)=
