Detailed Solution

We have to find the HCF of the smallest composite number and the smallest prime number.
The smallest composite number is 4.
 The common factors of 4=2×2×1
The smallest Prime number is 2.
 The common factors of 2=2×1
Therefore,
HCF(4,2)=2×1
HCF(4,2)=2
Therefore, the HCF of the smallest composite number and the smallest prime number is 2.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
