Question:
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;    Third number =		1073		= 37.
		29				29

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