If (L) is the LCM and (H) is the HCF of (2^4\times3^7\times5) and (2^6\times3^3\times5^4), what will be the powers of (3) in (L) and (H) respectively?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (7) and (3)
Step 1: LCM takes the higher power, while HCF takes the lower power. Step 2: The powers of (3) are (7) and (3), so (L) has (7) and (H) has (3). Step 3: Keep the higher-power and lower-power rules separate.
