      Question

      The HCF of two numbers is 14. If their product is 5488,

      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 '14a' and '14b', where 'a' and 'b' are co-prime. ATQ; 14a Γ— 14b = 5488 So, 196ab = 5488 ab = 28 Now, ab = 28 can be written as: 28 = 1 Γ— 28 or 4 Γ— 7 Since, only co-prime pairs are valid: (1, 28) and (4, 7) Hence, only two pairs exist.
