136 = 2*2*3*17
204 = 2*2*2*17

LCM = 2*2*2*3*17 = 408

Ans : A

$$136 = 2^3 * 17^1$$
$$204 = 2^2 * 3^1 * 17^1$$

$$LCM =$$ $$2^3*3^1*17$$

Hence, answer will be (A) 408

136 = 2x68=4x34=(2^3)x17
204 = 4x51 = (2^2)x51 =(2^2)x3x17

LCM = (2^3)x3x17 = 408
GCF = (2^2)x17 = 68

let 136x=204y→
x/y=204/136=3/2
test 3/2 ratio against options:
