Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 40

Given:

The ratio of the two numbers = 2 : 3

LCM of the two numbers = 48

Calculation:

Let the two numbers be 2y and 3y. 

LCM (2y, 3y) = 6y 

⇒ 6y = 48 

⇒ y = 8 

Now, The sum of numbers = (2y + 3y)

5y 

⇒ 5y = 5 × 8

⇒ 40

∴ The sum of the number is 40.
