HCF of two number is 4
Let, those numbers be 4x and 4y where x and y are prime to each other Accordingly,
4x + 4y = 36
⇒ 4(x + y) = 36
⇒ (x + y) = 9
Now,
9 = 8 + 1
9 = 7 + 2
9 = 6 + 3
9 = 5 + 4
In all these cases only (8, 1); (7, 2); and (5, 4) are prime to each other.
So, such three pair is possible
∴ Such three pair of number is possible.
To find the pairs we only can take those pair, which are prime to each other.
We can't take those pair, which are not prime to each other.
For example: In this problem, 9 can be represent as 6 + 3 = 9
But, 6 & 3 are not prime to each other.
So, it can't be a possible pair.
