The LCM of two numbers is 48. The numbers are in the ratio 2 : 3. Then sum of the numbers is ?

To find the sum of the numbers, we first need to find the actual numbers. We know that the ratio of the numbers is 2:3 and their Least Common Multiple (LCM) is 48.

Step 1: Find the product of the numbers in the ratio. This is 2*3 = 6.

Step 2: Divide the LCM by the product of the numbers in the ratio. This is 48/6 = 8.

Step 3: Multiply the result from step 2 with each of the numbers in the ratio to find the actual numbers. This gives us 28 = 16 and 38 = 24.

Step 4: Add the two numbers together to find their sum. This is 16 + 24 = 40.

So, the sum of the numbers is 40.
