Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 72 Given: Three numbers are 108, x, and 144, HCF of these numbers is 12. Concept: H.C.F. of two or more factors is the greatest factor that divides each of them exactly. Calculation: Factor of 108 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 Factor of 144 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 By taking option (c), Factor of 72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 If we take the value of x is 72, then HCF of the given numbers becomes 36 ∴ The value of x will not be 72. |
