Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Check common factors (GCD):

  • 26 and 13 → 13 divides 26
    👉 GCD = 13 ❌ Not co-prime

  • 34 and 26 → Both are even
    👉 Common factor = 2 ❌ Not co-prime

  • 13 and 34
    13 is prime and does not divide 34
    👉 GCD = 1 ✅ Co-prime

✅ Answer: 13 and 34
