Solution

The correct option is B False
The L.C.M. of two numbers is greater than the larger of the two number. Ex - : L.C.M of $(2, 3) = 6$ and L.C.M of $(1, 2) = 2 .$
Since the $6$ is greater than $2$ and $3$ which is greater $2$ is equal to $2 .$
The L.C.M. of two numbers is greater than and equal the larger of the two number.
Hence , the L.C.M. of two numbers is not greater than the larger of the two number.
