Select the option in which the two numbers share the same relationship as that sheared by the given number-pair.256 : 321. 13 : 1692. 169 : 263. 144 : 164. 96  : 12

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 96  : 12

The logic follows here is:

The G.C.F of the number (256, 32) is 32.

So,

When the highest number is divided by its H.C.F it equal to 8.

256 divided by 32 = 8

256 ÷ 32 = 8

Option 1 → 13 : 169 

The H.C.F of the number (13, 169) is 13.

169 divided by 13 ≠ 8, which is not similar to our logic used.

169 ÷ 13 ≠ 8

13 ≠ 8 

Option 2 → 169 : 26

The H.C.F of the number (169 : 26) is 13

169 divided by 13 ≠ 8, which is not similar to our logic used.

169 ÷ 13 ≠ 8

13 ≠ 8

Option 3 → 144 : 16

The H.C.F of the number (144 : 16) = 16

144 divided by 16 ≠ 8, which is not similar to our logic used.

144 ÷ 16 ≠ 8

9 ≠ 8

Similarly,

The H.C.F of the number (96, 12) is 12.

So,

96 divided by 12 = 8

96 ÷ 12 = 8

Hence, the correct answer is "96 : 12".

  • The greatest common factor (GCF or GCD or HCF) of a set of whole numbers is the largest positive integer that divides evenly into all numbers with zero remainders. 
  • To find the HCF of two numbers: List the prime factors of each number. Multiply those factors both numbers have in common. If there are no common prime factors, the HCF is 1.
