HI!!
do you know what "relatively prime" means ?
no
then you can't do it
you need to know what it means before you can answer the question https://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/relatively-prime.html

"Two integers are relatively prime if they share no common positive factors."
21 and 39 2 + 1 = ? 3 + 9 = ?
3 12
Yes, and both of those are divisible by 3, so A is not correct.
iGreen always beats me to it :), go igreen!
10 and 21 1 + 0 = ? 2 + 1 = ?
Thanks :)
1 3
Oh, and FYI, all of these are divisible by 3 except 1 pair, so we just have to find the 1 pair that isn't divisible by 3.
Okay, are both those numbers divisible by 3?
no
Yes, so B is our answer.
thnx @iGreen.
