  • Question
  • The Sum of two number is 1215 and their H.C.F is 81, how many pairs of such number can be formed? Find them?


  • Options
  • A. 1
  • B. 2
  • C. 3
  • D. 4

  • Correct Answer


  • Explanation

    Let the number be 81a and 81b where a and b are two numbers prime to each other.
    ? 81a + 81b = 1215
    ? a + b = 1215/81 = 15

    Now, find two numbers, whose sum is 15, the possible pairs are (14, 1) , (13, 2), (12, 3), (11, 4), (10, 5), (9, 6 ), (8, 7) of these the only pairs of numbers that are prime to each other are (14, 1) , (13, 2), (11, 4), and (8, 7).

    Hence, the required number are
    (14 x 81, 1 x 81), (13 x 81, 2 x 81), (11 x 81, 4 x 81), (8 x 81, 7 x 81)
    or (1134, 81), (1053, 162), (891, 324), (648, 567)
    So, there are four such pairs .
