A) 3^1/3 * *b)9^1/3
c)2 * * * * * *d)any of these
Go by the options....
we can see product of 3^1/3, 9^1/3 and 2 is 6 and each one of them satisfies 1 given condition. So we just have to find the least of these 3 no.s which is 3^1/3 or option A.

a) 2^20 -1 * * *b)2^40 - 1
C)2^60 -1 * * d)2^10 *-1
GCD of 100 and 120 is 20 thus option A should be the answer 2^20 -1
