    Question

    The greatest number that divides 93 and 190 leaving remainders 5 and 3, respectively, is:

    A.

    21

    B.

    17

    C.

    14

    D.

    11

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    When dividing 93, remainder = 5

    When dividing 190, remainder = 3

    We are to find the greatest number that divides both and leaves those remainders.

    Solution:

    93 − 5 = 88

    190 − 3 = 187

    Now, HCF of 88 and 187: 

    88 = 23×112^3\times 11​​

    187 = 11×1711\times 17​​

    So, HCF(88,187) = 11

    Thus, the greatest number which divides with given condition is 11.
