  1. The product of two numbers is 2028 and their HCF is 13. The number of such pairs is
    1. 1
    2. 2
    3. 3
    4. 4
Correct Option: B

Here, HCF = 13
Let the numbers be 13p and 13q ,where p and q are Prime to each other.
Now, 13p × 13q = 2028

⇒ pq =
2028
= 12
13 × 13

The possible pairs are :- ( 1 , 12 ) , ( 3 , 4 ) , ( 2 , 6 )
But the 2 and 6 are not co-prime.
∴ The required no. of pairs = 2
