A) 147

B) 528

C) 132

D) 264

Correct Answer: C

Solution :

Here, first number \[=2\times 44=88,\]

HCF = 44, LCM = 264

We know that,

First number \[\times \] Second number \[=HCF\times LCM\]

\[\Rightarrow \] 88 \[\times \]Second number \[=44\times 264\]

\[\Rightarrow \] Second number \[=\frac{264\times 44}{88}=132\]

\[\Rightarrow \] Second number = 132
