A.
1
B.
2
Answer
C.
3
D.
4

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Let the numbers be 13a and 13b
Then, 13a × 13b = 2028
ab = 12
Now, co - primes with product 12 are (1, 12) and (3, 4)
So, the required numbers are (13 × 1, 13 × 12) and (13 × 3, 13 × 4)
Clearly, there are 2 such pairs
