Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Product of the numbers $ =HCF\times LCM=21\times 4641 $
$ 21\times 4641=21\times 3\times 7\times 13\times 17 $
$ =3\times 7\times 3\times 7\times 13\times 17 $
$ \therefore $ The numbers can be $ 3\times 7\times 13=273 $ and $ 3\times 7\times 17=357 $
