      Question

      The HCF of two numbers is 18. If their product is 5832,

      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 '18a' and '18b', where 'a' and 'b' are co-prime. ATQ; 18a Γ— 18b = 5832 So, 324ab = 5832 ab = 18 Now, ab = 18 can be written as: 18 = 1 Γ— 18 or 2 Γ— 9 or 3 Γ— 6 Since, only co-prime pairs are valid: (1, 18) and (2, 9) (3, 6) is not considered as they are not co-prime. Hence, only two pairs exist.
