A.

C.

D.

150

Correct option is A

Given:
First number: 2×32×522 \times 3^2 \times 5^2​​
Second number: 5×3×225 \times 3 \times 2^2​​
Third number: 52×3×225^2 \times 3 \times 2^2​​
Concept Used:
The Highest Common Factor (HCF) is found by taking the lowest power of each prime factor common to all numbers.
Solution:
First number: 2×32×522 \times 3^2 \times 5^2​​
Second number: 5×3×225 \times 3 \times 2^2​​
Third number: 52×3×225^2 \times 3 \times 2^2​​
Taking the lowest powers of each common prime factor:
21×31×512^1 \times 3^1 \times 5^1​​
Multiplying the lowest powers:
HCF=21×31×51=2×3×5=30\text{HCF} = 2^1 \times 3^1 \times 5^1 = 2 \times 3 \times 5 = 30​​
Therefore, the HCF of the given numbers is 30​​
