Explanation:

Since HCF is 26, let us assume that the numbers are 26x and 26y

∴ Product of the two numbers = HCF × LCM = 26x × 26y

⇒ 26x × 26y = 26 × 910 

∴ xy = 35

Now, we have to write 35 as a product two co-prime numbers, hence

35 = 1 × 35 (one of x and y is 1 and the other is 35)
35 = 7 × 5 (one of x and y is 7 and the other is 5)

The numbers can be 26 × 1, 26 × 35 or 26 × 5, 26 × 7

Only one number lies within the given limits, 26 × 7 = 182.

Hence, option (a).
