If the HCF of a and b are 12 and a, b are positive integers and a > b > 12, then what will be the values of a and b?

Q: If the HCF of a and b are 12 and a, b are positive integers and a > b > 12, then what will be the values of a and b?

By Hit and Trial From option (d), we can say that the HCF of 36 and 24 is 12 and it is also satisfies the given condition a > b > 12 ∴ a = 36 and b = 24

12, 24
24, 12
24, 36
36, 24

Correct Answer: 36, 24

Explanation:

By Hit and Trial
From option (d), we can say that the HCF of 36 and 24 is 12 and it is also satisfies the given condition
a > b > 12
∴ a = 36 and b = 24
