Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 133 GIVEN: Three numbers 2800, 2401 and 1470. CALCULATION: Let same remainder = ‘x’ Required maximum number = HCF of (2800 – x), (2401 – x) and (1470 – x) We know that if two numbers be divisible by a certain number, then their difference is also divisible by that number. HCF of (2800 – x), (2401 – x) and (1470 – x) = HCF of [(2800 – x) – (2401 – x)], [(2800 – x) – (1470 – x)] and [(2401 – x) – (1470 – x)] = HCF of 399, 1330 and 931 = 133 Hence, required greatest number = 133 |
