Answer: The statements in options 2 and 4 are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM of two numbers is the smallest number that is multiple of both numbers.

The factor of 8 and 12 are,


8=2* 2* 2


12=2* 2* 3

Since 2 and 2 are common in both but 2 and 3 are not same, therefore the L.C.M. of 8 and 12 is,


L.C.M.(8,12)=2* 2* 2* 3=24

Therefore the statement in option 1 is incorrect.

The factor of 6 and 9 are,


6=2* 3


9=3* 3

Since 3 is common in both but 2 and 3 are not same, therefore the L.C.M. of 6 and 9 is,


L.C.M.(6,9)=2* 3* 3=18

Therefore the statement in option 2 is correct.

The factor of 11 and 4 are,


11=1* 11


4=2* 2

Since all factor are different, therefore the L.C.M. of 11 and 4 is,


L.C.M.(11,4)=1* 11* 2* 2=44

Therefore the statement in option 3 is incorrect.

The factor of 9 and 10 are,


9=1* 9


10=2* 5

Since all factor are different, therefore the L.C.M. of 9 and 10 is,


L.C.M.(9,10)=1* 9* 2* 5=90

Therefore the statement in option 4 is correct.
