The sum of two numbers is 528 and their H.C.F is 33. The number of pairs of numbers satisfying the above condition is

Correct Answer: 4

Explanation:

Let the required numbers be 33a and 33b. 


 


Then 33a +33b= 528   =>   a+b = 16.


 


Now, co-primes with sum 16 are (1,15) , (3,13) , (5,11) and (7,9).


 


Therefore, Required numbers are  ( 33 x 1, 33 x 15), (33 x 3, 33 x 13), (33 x 5, 33 x 11), (33 x 7, 33 x 9)


 


The number of such pairs is 4
