View Answer

Correct choice: C

Explanation:

Since the numbers are co-prime, they contain only 1 as the common factor. Also, the given two products have the middle number in common. So, middle number = H.C.F of 551 and 1073 = 29; First number = 551/29 = 19 Third number = 1073/29 = 37. Required sum = 19 + 29 + 37 = 85.
