Question
Tick the correct statement(s). The LCM of two different prime numbers (m, n) can be: (a) Less than both numbers (b) In between the two numbers (c) Greater than both numbers (d) Less than m × n (e) Greater than m × n
Answer

LCM of two different prime numbers, m and n, is their product of m × n. Since both m and n are prime numbers, their only common factor is 1. Hence, LCM is always greater than both individual numbers. Hence, option (c) is correct.
