Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Let LCM of the two numbers $ =x $ Then, HCF of the two numbers $ =\frac{x}{28} $
Now, $ x+\frac{x}{28}=1740 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{29x}{28}=1740 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{1740\times 28}{29}=1680 $ So, LCM of these two numbers $ =1680 $ Again, $ 240\times y=1680\times 60 $ [ $ \because $ first number x second number $ =LCM\times HCF $ ]

$ \Rightarrow $ $ y=\frac{1680\times 60}{240}=7\times 60 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ y=420 $ Hence, other number is 420.

$ \therefore $ Sum of digits $ =4+2+0=6 $
