Detailed Solution

We have to check whether the HCF of two numbers is always a factor of their LCM.
Take an example of two numbers a=4 and b=10.
The factors of 4 is 2×2.
The factors of 10 is 5×2.
HCF(4,10)=2
LCM(4,10)=20
As, 2×10=20
So, 2 is a factor of 20.
Therefore, it is true that HCF of two numbers is always a factor of their LCM.
Hence, option 1 is correct.
