Solution

The correct option is B

False, False, True


Take an example and visualize-

i) C0-prime do not have any factors in common other than 1; Consider the numbers 9 and 4 ; They are co-prime but both of them are not prime.Hence the 1st statement is false.

ii) Now, 12 + 16 = 28; but 28 does not divide 12 and 16.Hence the second statement is false.

iii) Consider the numbers 4, 12 and 16
12 and 16 are both divisible by 4 and also sum of 12 + 16 = 28 is divisible by 4; Hence the third statement is true

4 also divides 12+16 = 28
