    Question

    Find the greatest number, which when divides 76, 151 and 226 leaves same remainder.

    A.

    75

    B.

    78

    C.

    70

    D.

    76

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    The greatest number, which when divides 76, 151 and 226 leaves same remainder.
    Concept Used:
    In this type of question, the HCF of difference of number is taken.
    Formula Used:
    If there are 3 numbers ‘a’, ‘b’, and ‘c’ and a > b > c,
    {HCF [(a - b), (b - c)]} will be the greatest number such that when a, b, c are divided by it will give remainder alike.
    Solution:
    Using the above formula, we get
    => Greatest number = HCF [(226 – 151), (151 – 76)]
    => HCF [(75), (75)] = 75
    ∴ 75 will be the greatest number such that when 76, 151, and 226 are divided by it, the remainders are all alike.
