The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of two expressions P and Q given that their HCF (Highest Common Factor) is 1. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding HCF and LCM**: - The HCF of two numbers (or expressions) is the largest expression that divides both of them. - The LCM is the smallest expression that is a multiple of both. 2. **Given Information**: - We know that HCF(P, Q) = 1. This means that P and Q are coprime, which implies they have no common factors other than 1. 3. **Using the Relationship Between HCF and LCM**: - There is a formula that relates HCF and LCM: \[ HCF(P, Q) \times LCM(P, Q) = P \times Q \] - Since we know HCF(P, Q) = 1, we can substitute this into the formula. 4. **Substituting the Known Values**: - Substitute HCF into the formula: \[ 1 \times LCM(P, Q) = P \times Q \] - This simplifies to: \[ LCM(P, Q) = P \times Q \] 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the LCM of the expressions P and Q is \( P \times Q \). ### Final Answer: The LCM of the two expressions P and Q is \( P \times Q \).
