Class 10HCF and LCMNumber Systems
  • A25 and 55
  • B27 and 64
  • C34 and 51
  • D39 and 65

Step-by-Step Solution

A co-prime pair has HCF 1. Here 25 and 55 share the factor 5, 34 and 51 share 17, and 39 and 65 share 13. But and have no prime in common, so HCF(27, 64) = 1. Note that both numbers are composite - being co-prime does not require either number to be prime.
