Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 3 Given: HCF of two number is 4 and the sum of those two numbers is 36. Concept Used: Concept of HCF HCF is the least common factor among two or more numbers. Calculation: HCF of two number is 4 Let, those numbers be 4x and 4y where x and y are prime to each other Accordingly, 4x + 4y = 36 ⇒ 4(x + y) = 36 ⇒ (x + y) = 9 Now, 9 = 8 + 1 9 = 7 + 2 9 = 6 + 3 9 = 5 + 4 In all these cases only (8,1); (7,2); and (5,4) are prime to each other. So, such three pair is possible ∴ Such three pair of number is possible. |
