    a) LCM of 12, 10, 5 = LCM of 10, 20, 30

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The given set of numbers are 12, 10 and 5.

    On prime factorization of the given numbers:

    12 = 2 x 2 x 3

    10 = 2 x 5

    5 = 5 x 1

    So, the LCM of the given set of number is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60

    Now, find the LCM of each given set in the options.

    a. 10, 20, 30

    Here, 10 = 2 x 5, 20 = 2 x 2 x 5, 30 = 2 x 3 x 5

    So, the LCM of the given set of number is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60

    b. 8, 10, 12

    Here, 8 = 2 x 2 x 2, 10 = 2 x 5, 12 = 2 x 2 x 3

    So, the LCM of the given set of number is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 120

    c. 5, 15, 45

    Here, 5 = 5 x 1, 15 = 3 x 5 x 1, 45 = 3 x 3 x 5 x 1

    So, the LCM of the given set of number is 3 x 3 x 5 = 45

    d. 3, 6, 9

    Here, 3 = 3 x 1, 6 = 2 x 3 x 1, 9 = 3 x 3

    So, the LCM of the given set of number is 2 x 3 x 3 = 18

    a) Hence, here the LCM of 12, 10 and 5 = LCM of 10, 20 and 30 = 60
