The sum of two numbers is 462 and their highest common factor is 22. What is the maximum number of pairs that satisfy these conditions?
Let numbers be $$22x$$ and $$22y$$, where $$x$$ and $$y$$ are co-prime numbers.
=> $$22x+22y=462$$
=> $$(x+y)=\frac{462}{22}=21$$
Now, number of possible values of $$(x,y)=(1,20) (2,19) (4,17) (5,16) (8,13) (10,11)$$
$$\therefore$$ There are 6 such pairs.
=> Ans - (D)
