  1. 2a × 2b = 2 × 70

    4 ab = 140

    ab = 140/4

    ab = 35

    a×b = 5 × 7

    therefore a = 5 , b= 7

    now

    we know that

    2a × 2b

    2 × 5 , 2 × 7

    = 10 , 14

  2. Let the numbers be x and y.
    xy = HCF*LCM = 140

    x+y = 24

    Solving, x(24-x) = 140

    =x²-24x+140 = 0

    x =>10 or 14

    If x=10, y=14
