The product of two digits number is 2160 and their HCF is 12. The numbers are________?
Correct answer: A. (36,60)
- A. (36,60)
- B. (12,180)
- C. (96,25)
- D. (72,30)
Explanation
For 36 and 60, the product is 36 x 60 = 2160 and their HCF is 12, since both divide by 12 but have no larger common divisor. Hence (36, 60) satisfies both conditions. The pair (12, 180) has the correct product but its HCF is 12 as well while 180 is not a two-digit number, so it does not meet the stated condition.
