    Find the quotient when the greatest number that leaves remainders of 2, 3, and 4 when divided by 77, 48, and 34 respectively is divided by
    Question

    Find the quotient when the greatest number that leaves remainders of 2, 3, and 4 when divided by 77, 48, and 34 respectively is divided by 5.

    A.

    1

    B.

    3

    C.

    5

    D.

    15

    Correct option is B

    Given: The greatest number divides 77, 48, and 34 leaving remainders 2, 3, and 4 respectively. This number is then divided by 5.

    Concept: Highest Common Factor (HCF) of remainder-adjusted values.

    Solution:
    First, subtract the remainders from their respective numbers to find the exactly divisible targets:
    77 - 2 = 75
    48 - 3 = 45
    34 - 4 = 30

    Find the greatest number by calculating the HCF of 75, 45, and 30:
    The largest factor common to all three is 15.

    Divide this greatest number by 5 to find the quotient:
    Quotient = 15 / 5 = 3.

    Final Answer: 3

    So the correct answer is (b)
