a=x^3y^2
b=xy^3
H.C.F (a,b) = X*Y^2 = XY^2
H.C.F is 'highest common factor'. The highest common factor of a and b involving 'X' is 'X' itself and Y is Y^2.
Hope it helps.

dude, this is wrong. i wonder why its brainliest. the question asks for the HCF , and not the HCF regarding x and y separately.
Yes, you are right and actually I'm a new user so I by mistake marked it as brainliest
Sorry but it was by mistake but still thanks for your answer and pls don't take it otherwise

since x and y are primes, the prime factorizations of a and b are,
a = x*x*x*y*y
b=x*y*y*y
since x and 2 ys are common for both a and b, the product of x*y*y is the hcf.
HCF = x*y*y
= xy^2
a = x*x*x*y*y
b=x*y*y*y
since x and 2 ys are common for both a and b, the product of x*y*y is the hcf.
HCF = x*y*y
= xy^2
