We know that: 
LCM is the least common multiple of the given numbers whereas HCF is the highest common factor of those numbers.
Then, LCM is the multiplication of one common factor of the numbers and the other different factors of the numbers.
Write the LCM = 120 into factored form, that is
120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
= 4(2 × 3 × 5)
⇒ 4 is the common factor of the numbers.
So, the HCF of three numbers is a multiple of 4.
Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, ...
Therefore, 35 is not the multiple of 4, then 35 cannot be their HCF.

Firuz Shah fought against the Vijayanagara Empire on many occasions and the rivalry between the two dynasties continued unabated throughout his reign, with victories in 1398 and 1406, but a defeat in 1419. One of his victories resulted in his marriage to Deva Raya's daughter.
 
At the beginning of his reign, Harihara II of the Vijayanagar Empire had advanced as far as the Raichur Doab and posed a threat to the Bahmanis. This threat was thwarted by a calculated and incisive attack by Firuz.
 
Firuz led a successful expedition against Narsingh Rai of Kherla who had to surrender forty elephants and his daughter to Firuz. In 1420, an attack on Pangal, which had been taken by Vijayanagar, proved disastrous. Firuz was trounced by Vijayanagar and Firuz retreated, surrendering the southern and eastern districts of his kingdom. This defeat had a deep impact on his morale and he was henceforth a broken man. He spends his final two years in asceticism and piety.
