  1. Sum of two numbers is 384. H.C.F. of the numbers is 48. The difference of the numbers is

Let the numbers be 48p and 48q , where p and q are co-primes.∴ 48p + 48q = 384⇒ 48 (p + q) = 384

⇒ p + q = 384 = 8 ........... (i)
48
Possible and acceptable pairs of p and q satisfying this condition are : (1 , 7) and (3 , 5).∴ Numbers are : 48 × 1 = 48 and 48 × 7 = 336and 48 × 3 = 144 and 48 × 5 = 240

∴ Required difference = 336 – 48 = 288
