it is 2…
as the question asks the hcf of smallest prime rational number, and the smallest composite number, we have the smallest prime rational number 2 and the smallest composite number 4.
we can get confused with 1 but it is not the smallest composit enumber as it is neither prime nor composite number. then the smallest composite number is 4 and factorizing prime 2 and 4, we get the following
factors of 2=1,2
factors of 4=1,2,4
now we can conclude that the highest common factor of 2 and 4 is 2
so 2 is the answer.
