Question

Three numbers which are co-prime to each other are such that the product of the first two is 551 and that of the last two is 1073. The sum of the three numbers is________?

Answer 1

A. 75
B. 81
C. 85
D. 89

Explanation:

Since the numbers are co-prime, they contain only 1 as the common factor.

Also, the given two products have the middle number in common.
So, middle number = H.C.F of 551 and 1073 = 29;
First number = 551/29 = 19
Third number = 1073/29 = 37.
Required sum = 19 + 29 + 37 = 85.

Correct Answer: 85 ✔
