    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 The sum of the three numbers is:

    ক)
    75
    খ)
    81
    গ)
    85
    ঘ)
    89

    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 =  (551/29) = 19; Third number = (1073/29) = 37. So, Required sum = (19 + 29 + 37) = 85.
