    What is the HCF of \[{{\mathbf{x}}^{\mathbf{2}}}-\mathbf{5x}+\mathbf{6},\]\[{{\mathbf{x}}^{\mathbf{2}}}-\mathbf{7x}+\mathbf{12}\] and \[{{\mathbf{x}}^{\mathbf{2}}}+\mathbf{9x}+\mathbf{20}\]

    A)  1        

    B)  \[\left( x-3 \right)\]         

    C)  \[\left( 2x-5 \right)\]                    

    D)  \[x-4\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a) \[\left( {{x}^{2}}-5x+6 \right)\left( {{x}^{2}}-7x+12 \right)and\text{ }{{x}^{2}}+9x+20\] \[{{x}^{2}}-5x+6=\left( x-2 \right)\left( x-3 \right)\] \[{{x}^{2}}-7x+12=\left( x-3 \right)\left( x-4 \right)\] \[{{x}^{2}}+9x+20=\left( x+4 \right)\left( x+5 \right)\] Hence HCF = 1 as no term is common.
