    Question

    Find the HCF of 2 × 3² × 5², 5 × 3 × 2² and 5² × 3 × 2².

    A.

    30

    B.

    90

    C.

    60

    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​​
