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.
