    Question

    The HCF of two numbers is 15. If their product is 3375,

    then how many such pairs exist?
    A 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the two numbers be '15a' and '15b', where 'a' and 'b' are co-prime. ATQ; 15a × 15b = 3375 So, 225ab = 3375 ab = 15 Now, ab = 15 can be written as: 15 = 1 × 15 or 3 × 5 Since, only co-prime pairs are valid: (1, 15) and (3, 5) Hence, only two pairs exist.
