The product of two numbers is 2028 and their H.C.F is 13. The number of such pairs is__________?
Correct answer: B. 2
- A. 1
- B. 2
- C. 3
- D. 4
Explanation
If the H.C.F. is 13, write the numbers as 13a and 13b, where a and b are co-prime. Then 13a x 13b = 2028, so ab = 2028/169 = 12. The co-prime factor pairs of 12 are (1, 12) and (3, 4), giving 2 pairs. Students may choose 1 by counting only the pair (1, 12).

About Ratio and Proportion
Ratios compare quantities in the same units, while proportions state that two ratios are equal. Problems cover simplification, division in a given ratio, direct and inverse variation, scale, and missing terms, with attention to the difference between a ratio and a fraction representing part of a whole.
