Answer:
The HCF of three number is 8
The sum of three number is 80
Let the three numbers be 8x, 8y, and 8z where x, y and z are co-prime numbers.
8x + 8y + 8z = 80
8 (x + y + z) = 80
x + y + z = 10
Hence, the pair of co-prime number can that can give sum are (1, 2, 3), (1, 3, 6), and (1, 4, 5)
The three pair of such number can be (8, 16, 52), (8, 24, 48) and (8, 32, 40)
Hope it helps!
