Detailed Solution

Given 3 numbers 6, 72 and 120.
Prime factorization of given numbers is,
Question ImagePrime factors of 6, 72, 120 are,
6=2×3 72=2×2×2×3×3 120=2×2×2×3×5   The L.C.M is,
2×2×2×3×3×5 360  
The LCM of 6, 72 and 120 is 360.
The H.C.F is,
2×3 6  
Therefore, L.C.M is 360 and H.C.F is 6.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
