[tex]\\\\LCM \ stands \ for \ Lowest \ Common \ Multiple.\\ \ LCM \ is \ the \ smallest \ number \ that \ is \ a \ multiple \ of \ both \ {\color{Red} a} \ and \ {\color{Red} b}.[/tex]

[tex]1)\\\\ The \ LCM \ of \ 20 \ and \ 50 \\ \\Multiples \ of \ 20 \ are: \ \ 20, \ 40, \ 60, \ 80, \ \,[100], \ 120, \ 140\ \ and \ so \ on \\Multiples \ of \ 50 \ are: 50, \ [ 100 ] , \ 150, \ 200, \ 250, \ 300\ and \ so \ on\\\\Now \ check \ for \ the \ common \ multiples.\\ Only \ 100 \ is \ the \ common \ multiple \ and \ the \ least \ available \ common \ multiple.\\\\ Answer : \ \ LCM \ of \ 20 \ and \ 50 \ = \ 100.[/tex]
