6. (3) Let the numbers be ( 4 x ) and ( 4 y . ) Then Ist number ( times ) IInd number ( =mathrm{HCF} times mathrm{LCM} ) [ begin{array}{c} 4 x times 4 y=4 times 4 times 5 times 7 x times y=5 times 7 end{array} ] Hence, Ist number ( =4 times 5=20 ) and IInd number ( =4 times 7=28 ) ( therefore quad ) Smaller number ( =20 )
