    B 65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 56 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 39 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,
    Let the numbers be 5m and 9m.

    LCM of the numbers = 45m

    Given, 45m = 180

    So, m = 4

    Thus, the numbers are 20 and 36.

    Hence, the sum = 20 + 36 = 56.
