1.  Three numbers which are co-prime to each other are such that the product of the first two is 551 and that of the last two is 1073. The sum of the three numbers is:

A. 75
B. 81
C. 85
D. 89

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Since the numbers are co-prime, they contain only 1 as the common factor.

Also, the given two products have the middle number in common.

So, middle number = H.C.F. of 551 and 1073 = 29;

First number = 551 = 19.
29

Third number = 1073 = 37.
29

Required sum = (19 + 29 + 37) = 85.
