Answer»

We know that LCM is always a MULTIPLE of HCF.

Let LCM = K(HCF)

⇒ HCF + k(HCF) = 37

⇒ (k + 1)(HCF) = 37

Possible values of k are 0 and 36.

If k = 0, HCF = 37, which is not possible as LCM will BECOME 0.

If k = 36, HCF = 1, and LCM = 36.

So, P and Q can be 1 and 36, or 4 and 9.

If they are 1 and 36, their sum is 37 and product is 36.

If they are 4 and 9, their sum is 13 and product is 36.

So, sum can be lesser or greater than product.

No relation between A and B can be ESTABLISHED.
