(B) For any two positive integers $a$ and $b$,the $LCM(a, b)$ must be perfectly divisible by their $HCF(a, b)$.Given that $HCF(a, b) = 25$,the $LCM(a, b)$ must be a multiple of $25$.Checking the given options:$(A)$ $50 = 25 	imes 2$ (Possible)$(B)$ $105$ is not divisible by $25$ $(105 / 25 = 4.2)$ (Impossible)$(C)$ $100 = 25 	imes 4$ (Possible)$(D)$ $25 = 25 	imes 1$ (Possible)Therefore,$105$ cannot be the $LCM$ of $a$ and $b$.

If the $HCF(a, b) = 25$,then which of the following cannot be the $LCM(a, b)$?
