    Question

    Find the HCF of 2.8, 11.2 and 0.84 .

    A.

    28.0

    B.

    0.28

    C.

    2.80

    D.

    0.028

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    Numbers: 2.8, 11.2, 0.84
    Solution:
    Make the number of decimal places equal for all values:
    2.80, 11.20, 0.84
    Consider these as integers without decimals:
    280, 1120, 84
    Find the HCF of 280, 1120, and 84 by prime factorization:
    280 = 23×5×72^3 × 5 × 7​​
    1120 = 25×5×72^5 × 5 × 7​​
    84 = 22×3×72^2 × 3 × 7​​
    The common prime factors with the lowest power are 2^2 and 7.
    HCF of integers = 22×72^2 × 7​ = 4 × 7 = 28
    Since the original numbers have two decimal places, apply two decimal places to the integer HCF:
    HCF =28100= \frac{28}{100}​ = 0.28
    Final Answer
    So the correct answer is (b)
