If (L) is the LCM and (H) is the HCF of (2^6\times3^2\times5) and (2^4\times3^5\times5^2), what will be the powers of (2) in (L) and (H) respectively?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (6) and (4)
Step 1: LCM takes the higher power of (2), and HCF takes the lower power. Step 2: The powers are (6) and (4), so (L) has power (6) and (H) has power (4). Step 3: Do not interchange the power rules of LCM and HCF.
