The L.C.M of two numbers is 48. The numbers are in the ratio 8:3. The sum of numbers is: Choose the correct choice from the following choices.
A) 22 B) 30 C) 40 D) 50 E) 60
Let the numbers be 8x and 3x.   Then, their L.C.M = 24x. So, 24x = 48 or x = 2.   The numbers are 16 and 6.   Hence, required sum = (16 + 6)=
