L.C.M of two prime numbers x and y (x>y) is 161. The value of 3y-x is :

A) -2 B) -1
C) 1 D) 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) -2

Explanation:

 H. C. F of two prime numbers is 1.  Product of numbers = 1 x 161 = 161.

 Let the numbers be a and b . Then , ab= 161.

 Now, co-primes with  product 161 are (1, 161) and (7, 23).

 Since x and y are prime numbers and x >y , we have x=23 and y=7.

 Therefore,  3y-x = (3 x 7)-23 = -2
