उत्तर
(ii) only
Explanation:
(i) HCF is always greater than LCM: False.
The HCF is always less than or equal to the LCM (HCF ≤ LCM).
(ii) HCF is a factor of LCM: True.
Because HCF × LCM = a × b, the HCF must divide the LCM.
(iii) LCM is a factor of HCF: False.
The LCM is a multiple of the HCF, not a factor.
