    B 128 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 156 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 105 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,
    Let the numbers be 2m and 5m.

    LCM of the numbers = 10m

    Given, 10m = 150

    So, m = 15

    Thus, the numbers are 30 and 75.

    Hence, the sum = 30 + 75 = 105.
