If (L) is the LCM and (H) is the HCF of (2^8\times3^2\times5) and (2^5\times3^6\times5^4), what will be the powers of (5) in (L) and (H) respectively?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (4) and (1)
Step 1: LCM takes the higher power, and HCF takes the lower power. Step 2: The powers of (5) are (1) and (4), so (L) has (4) and (H) has (1). Step 3: Do not interchange the two rules.
