Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Correct answer is option 2 i.e. 630.

Let a number be P and second number is P + 3

The product of the numbers is 1890

According to the question

P × (P + 3) = 1890

P2 + 3P - 1890 =0

First number P = 42

Second  number P + 3 = 45

Now, the LCM of (42, 45) = 630
