if a,b are coprime, then a2, b2 are

(a)coprime (b)not coprime (c)odd nos (d)even nos

Two numbers are said to be co-prime if their H.C. F is 1.

Now, it is given that a, b are co-prime numbers.

So, HCF (a,b) = 1

Now, when the two numbers are a2 and b2, then also their HCF = 1 , because the factor of a2 would be 1, a and a2 whereas factor of b2 would be 1,b and b2.

Hence,  HCF (a2,b2) = 1

Hence, the number a2, b2 are said to be co-prime numbers.
