What is the number of integral solutions of the equations HCF (a, b) = 5 and a + b = 65 ?


A) None

B) Infinitely many

C) Less than 65

D) Exactly one

Correct Answer:
C) Less than 65

Description for Correct answer:
H.C.F. (a, b)= 5 and a + b = 65.

The given combination is satisfied by the following value of a and b.

1. for a=5, b = 60

2. for a = 10,b = 55

3. for a = 15, b = 50

4. for a =20, b = 45

5. for a =25,b =40

6. for a=30, b=35

7. for a=35, b=30

8. for a =40, b = 25

9. for a=45, b=20

10.for a=30,b = 35

11.for a =55,b = 10

12.for a=60,b=5

Hence for correct Option is (c)
