      A 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      As HCF is 12 so let numbers be 12x & 12y .It means x & y must be co-prime. Now 12x+ 12y = 96, So x + y = 8. Now pairs of (x , y) can be (1,7) , (2,6) , (3, 5) & (4,4) but (2,6) & (4,4) are not co-primes hence number of pairs is 2.
