Solution

The correct option is A HCF=22×32;LCM=23×33×53×72
HCF = Product of the smallest powers of each common prime factor in the numbers.
LCM = Product of the largest powers of each common prime factor in the numbers.
The common prime factors of a and b are 2 and 3.
Thus, HCF=22×32.
All the prime factors of a and b are 2,3,5 and 7.
Thus, LCM=23×33×53×72
