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:

Options:
A .  75
B .  81
C .  85
D .  89
E .  None of these
Answer: Option C
 -  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.
