Concept:

Product of two numbers = LCM × HCF

Calculation:

Given, two numbers are in the ratio 21 ∶ 10.

Let the two number be 21x and 10x.

LCM(21x, 10x) = 21 × 10 × x [Since, 21 and 10 are co-primes]

HCF(21x, 10x) = 11

∴ Product of two numbers = LCM × HCF

⇒ 21x × 10x = 21 × 10 × x × 11

⇒ x = 11

⇒ 21x + 10x = 31x = 31 × 11 = 341

∴ The sum of the numbers is 341.
