Which of the following is a pair of co-primes?

This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2025 Graduate CBT 2 Question Paper PDF (10-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

25 and 36

Two numbers are co-prime if their highest common factor (HCF) is 1.

\(25 = 5^2\) and \(36 = 2^2 \times 3^2\); they share no common prime factor, so \(\text{HCF}(25,36) = 1\).

\(44 = 2^2 \times 11\) and \(99 = 3^2 \times 11\) share the factor 11, so their HCF is 11, not co-prime.

\(27 = 3^3\) and \(36 = 2^2 \times 3^2\) share the factor 3, so they are not co-prime.

\(42 = 2 \times 3 \times 7\) and \(56 = 2^3 \times 7\) share factors 2 and 7, so they are not co-prime.

Hence, 25 and 36 form a pair of co-primes.
