If the HCF of 85 and 153 is expressible in the form of 85x - 153 then the value of x is:

Correct option is D

Given:

The HCF of 85 and 153 is expressible in the form of 85x - 153

Solution:

HCF of 85 and 153 = 17

Now given HCF can be expressed in the form of 85x − 153

So, 17 = 85x − 153

=> 85x = 170

=> x = 2

Thus, the value of x is 2.
