The correct option is A xy2
Factorize x3y2 and xy2.
x3y2=x.x.x.y.y
xy2=x.y.y.y
The HCF is the product of the smallest power of each common prime factor involved in the numbers.
The smallest power of each common prime factor is x and y2.
Therefore, the HCF is xy2.
The HCF is xy2.
Hence, option (B) is correct.
