If A?B is the greatest common factor of A and B, A~B is defined as the least common multiple of A and B, and A&B is defined as equal to (A?B)~(A~B), then what is the value of 12&15?

(A) 42
(B) 45
(C) 48
(D) 52
(E) 60

12&15 = (12?15) ~ (12~15)

12?15 = GCF(12, 15) = 3

12~15 = LCM(12, 15) = 60

Thus:

(12?15) ~ (12~15) = 3~60 = LCM(3, 60) = 60

Answer: E

This questions is Based on LCM and GCD and Custom Characters

A?B is defined as equal to (A*B) ~ (A~B)

12?15 = (12?15) ~ (12~15) [Check out following video to know about Custom Character]

A?B is the greatest common factor of A and B

12?15 = GCD(12,15) = 3 (Check out this video to know about how to find GCD using multiple methods)

A~B is defined as the least common multiple of A and B

12~15 = LCM(12,15) = 3*4*5 = 60

(12*15) ~ (12~15) = 3 ~ 60 = LCM(3,60) = 60

So, Answer will be E
Hope it helps!
