Answer is option C
The product of 2 numbers = Lcm * Hcf of those two numbers

7700*11 = x*275
x = 308

(C) 308

Product of two numbers = HCF X LCM

275 * X = 11 * 7700

X = 308

Cross-check - For 275 and 308, the HCF is 11 [as 11 is the only common factor] and LCM is 7700.

My approach was:
1) Prime decompose the numbers:
7700 = 11*2^2*5^2*7
275 = 11*5^2

2) Find the numbers among the answers choices that have at least one 7 and at least two 2´s when prime decomposed
Option C is 7*2^2*11

Please correct me if necessary

10-15 sec solution.
Given, the product of LCM and HCF = product of numbers. Looking at LCM, we have 4 as a factor. Given 275 is not even, the other number must be a factor of 4. Using divisibility rules of 4 and looking at the last 2 digits, only C (08) works
