Correct Answer: (36 and 60)
Solution : Let the 1st number be $12x$ and the other be $12y$ Given: $HCF =12$ and product of two numbers = 2160 So, product of two numbers = $12x × 12y$ $2160 = 144xy$ $\Rightarrow xy = \frac{2160}{144}$ $\Rightarrow xy = 15$ The possible co-prime pairs of 15 are (1,15) and (3,5) Therefore, the numbers are (12 $×$ 1 and 12 $×$ 15) or (12 $×$ 3 and 12 $×$ 5) Hence, the numbers are (12 and 180) or (36 and 60) Hence, the correct answer is (36 and 60).
