    C.

    D.

    23

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    When dividing 60, the remainder is 2.
    When dividing 90, the remainder is 3.
    Solution:
    If a number N leaves a remainder of 2 when dividing 60, then 60 − 2 = 58 is divisible by N.
    Similarly, if N leaves a remainder of 3 when dividing 90, then 90 − 3 = 87 is divisible by N.
    HCF of 58 and 87 = 29
    Thus, The greatest number N is 29.
