Two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 4. If their L.C.M. is 96. what is sum of the numbers?	Choose the most appropriate option:	A) 48	B) 56	C) 76	D) 84	E) 85
Explanation:   Let the numbers be 3x and 4x   LCM of 3x and 4x = 12x (Since LCM of 3 and 4 is 12. Hence LCM of 3x and 4x is 12x)   Given that LCM of 3x and 4x is 96   =&gt; 12x = 96   =&gt; x = 96/12=

8   Sum of the numbers= 3x + 4x   = 7x   3  + 4= 
<gadget id="calculator">3  + 4</gadget>
<output>7</output>
7x= 7 x 8 = 56   Answer: Option 56
<result>B</result>
