The sum of two numbers is 231 and their HCF is 21. How many pairs of such numbers are there?1). 12). 23). 34). 5 |
|
Answer» According to the given information, HCF of the two NUMBERS =21 ∴let the two numbers be 21x and 21Y where x and y are coprime. 21x + 21 y = 231 ⇒21 (x + y) = 231 ⇒x + y = 11 ∴possible pairs of x and y are (9, 2), (8, 3), (7, 4), (6, 5), (1, 10) ∴ Numbers would be (189, 42), (168, 63), (147, 84), (126, 105), (21, 210) |
