1. Answer:

   Given:

   a = x3y2

   = X x X x X x Y x Y

   and

   b = xy3

   = X x Y x Y x Y

   where a and b are positive integers and x and y are prime numbers.

   So,

   the LCM of a and b will be x3y3 .

   Now , H.C.F

   Given that,

   a =x3y2 = x × x × x × y × y

   and b = xy3 = x × y × y × y

   ∴ HCF of a and b = HCF (x3y2,xy3)

   = x × y × y

   = xy2

   [Since, HCF is the product of the smallest power of each common prime factor involved in the numbers]

   HOPE THIS HELP YOU !!!!!!!
