Consider the question and two statements given below:

LCM of two numbers are x and y is 323 where x > y.

What is the value of (2x - 3y)?

Statement 1: y > 1

Statement 2: HCF of x and y is 1.

Which one of the following is correct in respect of the question and the statements?

Detailed Solution for UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 8 (CSAT) - Question 3

Given:

LCM of two numbers x and y is 323 where x > y.

Concept used:

HCF: Product of the smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers.

LCM: Product of the greatest power of each prime factor, involved in the numbers.

Calculation:

The factors of 323 = (323 × 1) and (17 × 19)

According to question x>y then, 

(x,y) = (323,1) or (17,19)

Statement 1: y > 1

Hence, only possible value are x = 17 and y = 19

∴ we can easily find the value of 3x - 2y.

Statement 2: HCF of x and y is 1.

In both (323,1) or (17,19), HCF is 1.

Two different values of 3x -2y.

Hence, Statement 1 alone is sufficient to answer the question.
