Option 4 : 1, 2 and 3

HCF of p and q is 1

1. Both p and q may be prime

Suppose p = 2 and q = 3

⇒ HCF of p and q = 1

⇒ Statement 1 is correct

2. One number may be prime, and the other is composite.

Suppose p = 3 and q = 4

⇒ HCF of p and q = 1

⇒ Statement 2 is correct

3. Both the numbers may be composite

Suppose p = 9 and q = 10

⇒ HCF of p and q = 1

⇒ Statement 3 is correct.

∴ All three statements are correct.
