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 = 19;    Third number = 1073 = 37.
29 29

Required sum = (19 + 29 + 37) = 85.
