    A 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    As HCF is 24 so let numbers be 24x & 24y. It means x & y must be co-prime. Now 24x+ 24y = 96, So x + y = 4. Now pairs of (x , y) can be (1,3) & (2,2) but (2,2) is not co-prime hence number of pairs are 1.
